Ice Maker
●After turning on your refrigerator, the ice will start to be made between 12 and 24 hours.
●The ice maker produces 3.5 lbs of ice per day, depending on the temperature of the freezer, how often the door
opens, and other using conditions (amount of food in the freezer, etc).
●In order to turn on/off the ice maker, press the power button (Fig. 5) for 2 seconds.
●The ice maker will fill up (and start making ice) between 12 and 24 hours after the refrigerator is turned on.
●Throw away the first batch of ice. Make sure that nothing interferes with the sensor (Fig. 5).
●When the ice reaches the sensor, the ice maker will stop to make ice immediately.
●It’s normal that some ice gets stuck. If the ice is not used frequently, the older cubes of ice will be opaque in color,
smaller, and with a strange flavor.
The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice
●If it is new installation, wait 12 to 24 hours after ice maker installation for ice production to begin. It will take 72
hours for full ice production.
●Check if the refrigerator is connected to a water supply or the supply shut off valve is turned on.
●Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce the water pressure below the minimum amount and result in ice
maker issues.
●A kink in the line can reduce water flow. Straighten the water source line.
●Confirm ice maker is in the ON position.
●The recommended temperature for the freezer compartment for normal ice production is 0°F. If the freezer
temperature is warmer, ice production will be affected.
●If the doors are not properly closed, ice production will be affected.

Ice Maker Winterization
During the winter months, you need to ensure that the water connection to the refrigerator is not freezing up
otherwise this could lead to burst water lines and damage to the refrigerator.
1. Turn on your refrigerator and ice maker, and make sure the ice bin is below.
2. Winterize your RV per the manufactures instructions which should include filling the water system with antifreeze that
is safe for portable water systems.
3. Discard any ice or water that accumulates in the ice bin, and turn off your refrigerator.
Note: Only use RV antifreeze for portable water applications.
To Un-Winterize
In addition to following your RV manufactures instructions:
1. Turn on your refrigerator and ice maker.
2. Purge fresh water through the ice maker with several rounds of ice production.
3. Continue ice production until ice is clear, and the antifreeze has been purged.
4. Discard ice.
Note: An additional method can be accomplished by removing the ice maker, and bypassing the water line.
Contact an authorized service dealer.
Ice Maker Sanitizing
If unit is stored for a long period, the ice maker should be cleaned by running fresh water through it and discarding the
first few batched of ice at the start of every season. If the ice has a strange taste/odor/color, run a sanitizing solution
through your RV water system per the manufacture's instructions. purge several batches of ice with fresh water to
ensure the sanitizing solutions has been completely removed.

Operational Instructions
1. Operational Precautions
●Do not operate the appliance below the operating temperature range for extended periods of time. This might effect
the appliance's performance in the long term.
●The internal temperature could be affected by factors like the location of temperature and frequency of door
opening, etc.
●Drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment or the low-temperature compartment.
●Do not cover or block the vents or grilles of your refrigerator
●Please take caution when operating the doors:
WARNING
Please follow the method shown in Fig. 6 to use the flip rail correctly. Otherwise, if it is used as shown in Fig. 7
(the flip rail is in the unfolded state), the left and right doors of the refrigerator will not close normally, and the
flip rail may be damaged.
The flip rail is equipped with a heater to prevent frost, so it may feel warm, which is a normal phenomenon and
will not affect the preservation of food.
2. Instructions for food storage
2.1 Food storage location:
Due to the cold air circulation in the refrigerator, the temperature of each area in the refrigerator is different so load
foods based on the degree of coldness required.
2.2 Use of fresh food compartment
Set the temperature of the fresh food storage compartment between 33.8° F ~ 42.8°F (1°C ~ 6°C), and store the
foods that are intended for short-term storage, or to be eaten at any time.
This is suitable for the storage for foods that do not need to be frozen, but should remain colder, such as cooked
food, milk, fruit juice, beer, eggs, and condiments that need cold preservation. The crisper box is suitable for
preservation of fruit and vegetables.
2.3 Precautions for food storage
Before food is put into the refrigerator, it is advisable to seal them to prevent water evaporation. This will help keep
fruits and vegetables fresh and help minimize odors.
Do not over-pack the refrigerator compartment. Keep enough space between foods, if items are too close, the cold
air flow will be blocked, thus affecting the refrigeration effect. When storing food, keep a distance away from the
inner wall; and do not place water-rich food close to the refrigerator rear wall to avoid food freezing.
Note when food has been added to the refrigerator to minimize food waste and spoilage due to food being kept past
its expiration date.
2.4 Use of frozen food compartment
The freezer temperature is controlled below 3.2°F (-16°C), and it is advisable to store the food for long-term
preservation in the freezer compartment, but the storage duration indicated on the food packaging should be
adhered to.
This is suitable for the storage of ice cream, frozen food, and any other food that needs to be preserved for a
long time.
