unplug the unit and remove the ice cubes. Use a diluted solution of water and vinegar to clean the inside and
the outside surface of the Ice maker. Do not spray Ice maker with chemicals or diluted agents such as acids,
gasoline or oil. Rinse thoroughly before starting.
2. Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure, or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. Do not use
mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the
manufacturer.
3. If the icemaker is reused after a long time, the water pump may not pump sufficient water due to an air block,
the deficient water indicator turns on in this case . To correct this press the START button again, then the
icemaker will work normally.
4.To ensure the cleanliness of the ice cubes, water in the water reservoir should be replaced every 24 hours.
5.If the compressor stops for any reason such as water shortage, too much Ice, power off, etc... Do not start
the system right away, wait 3 minutes, and then re-start the Ice maker.
6. Always use fresh water before starting ice production either at initial installation or after a long shut-off
period.

Troubleshooting
1. Please note, if a power failure occurs due to disconnection of the power cord, or the off power button has
been pushed off during an ice making cycle, small ice chips may formed and lodge in the automatic shovel
causing it to jam. If this occurs, the ice chips maybe removed by disconnecting the power cord and gently
pushing the shovel to the rear of the cabinet and removing the ice chips, then restarting.
2. Please restart the ice maker by pressing Stop and then Start. If the Ice shovel does not push the Ice into the
Ice collector after the formed Ice drops from the evaporator finger while at the same time the M light is on,
check to see if the water tray is horizontal or balanced. If not then adjust by pressing the Ice shovel lightly with
your finger. Then re-start the Ice maker.
