3. The ice maker is not suitable for outdoor use. The normal use environment temperature
is 50℉- 89.6℉, and the water temperature is 41℉- 86℉. High temperature will seriously
decrease the ice making performance.
4. The ice maker should not be installed in an environment where there is no sewer and
water is not allowed, and it should be away from high temperature equipment (such as
refrigerators or ovens).
5. Air-cooled ice makers rely on air circulation to dissipate heat. Therefore, it need at least
15cm of space between the front, back, left, and right of your ice maker and wall, good for
heat dissipation.
WATER CONNECTION：
1. The ice maker must use room temperature filtered drinking water.
2. The water pressure of the water supply must be controlled between 100kpa and 800kpa.
A pressure relief valve is required for over pressure. Do not squeeze the water inlet hose.
3. At the same time of feeding the tap water, the bucket water inlet valve must be closed.
4. When using bucket water, please plug the inlet valve with a plug to prevent water
leakage.
5. Please note the "Water inlet port" and "Water draining port" signs at the interface.
