Important Safety Instructions
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be
followed to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons
or property. Read all instructions before using any appliance.
- DO NOT operate this or any other appliance that has a damaged
cord. Connect to properly polarised outlets only. No other appliance
should be plugged into the same outlet. Ensure that the plug is fully
inserted into the receptacle
- DO NOT run cord over carpeting or other heat insulators. DO NOT
cover the cord. Keep cord away from high traffic areas, and do not
submerge in water. DO NOT pull on the power cable
- We DO NOT recommend the use of an extension cord, as it may
overheat and become a fire hazard.
- Ensure the ice maker is positioned in such away that the power plug is
always accessable.
- Keep the ice maker away from direct heat and out of direct sunshine.
- Ambient surrounding temperatures should be within 15˚C - 25˚C for
optimum working conditions. Ice production may vary due to temperature
variances.
- Clean you ice maker regularly, approx. every 1-3 months.
- DO NOT clean the ice maker with water if the unit is still plugged into
the wall socket, instead wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- DO NOT clean your ice maker with flammable fluids. The fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
- Exercise caution and use reasonable supervision when appliance is
used near children.
- DO NOT tilt the ice maker beyond 45˚ always keep upright.
- DO NOT touch the evaporator rods during operation.
- Ensure the ice maker is on a flat surface and placed at least 15cm from
the wall, and surrounding objects, for proper ventilation.
- WARNING - Keep the ice maker well ventilated if placed in an enclosed
area
23
- Unplug the ice maker from the wall socket and drain all the water from
the ice maker if the icemaker is not in use for a long time.
- Clean your ice maker before use, if it has not been used for a long
period, discard the water from water reservoir and clean the ice maker
thoroughly before refilling with water and starting the ice making cycle.
CAUTION: Plastic bags can be dangerous. To avoid danger of
suffocation, keep this bag away from babies and
children.
NOTE: DO NOT use water of an unknown quality in this ice maker.
Always use water from a confirmed drinkable source.
Characteristics
1. The Water Well Ice makers are energy efficient and emit very little
noise.
2. All the components of the Ice Maker are made of high grade materials
and the design is firm and durable quality
3. The Ice Maker will recycle any water that is in the water reservoir, ice
is stored in the ice basket, if this is not used it will melt back into the
water reservoir to start the ice making process again.
4. The Ice Maker has an easy to use touch button display, and you are
able to choose between 3 ice cube sizes, large, medium and small,
5. The Ice Maker can produce ice within 8-12 minutes if the water
temperature is in a temperature range of under 7°C, once the first
batch of ice is produced the water temperature is in the optimum range.
6. The Evaporator Rods can produce 12 bullet ice blocks at a time,
water fills the Ice Bucket and ice is formed around each of the
Evaporator Rods, once the ice has reached the correct size the Ice
Bucket tips over and drains the excess water and the Evaproator Rods
release the ice blockets onto the Ice Shovel, which scoops them into
the Ice Storage Basket. NOTE: please check regularily that no ice
blocks have gotten behind the Ice Bucket as this can cause damage
over time to the Ice Bucket and Ice Motor
7. The Ice Maker comes with a microcomputer control system, which
allows this unit to produce ice faster and easier.

How to Operate Your Ice Maker
1. Remove the Ice Maker from the packaging, and remove all sticky
tape from the interior of the Ice Maker
2. Clean the inside and outside of the Ice Maker thoroughly.
3. Remove the Ice Storage Basket and Scoop.
4. Fill the Water Reservior with water until the maximum water level
mark. (DO NOT overfill the Water Reservoir)
5. Insert the plug into an electrical socket and turn on the power.
6. Push the “START” button on the touch pad situated on the top of the
Ice Maker.
7. Press the “SELECT button to choose between Small (the Indicator
light above the ”S” with turn on), Medium (the Indicator Light above
the “M” will turn on) or Small (the Indicator Light above the “S” will
turn on) Ice Cubes.
8. Water will begin to be pumped from the Water Reservoir and start
to fill the Ice Bucket and surround the Evaporator Rods.
9. The Ice Maker produces 12 bullet shaped ice cubes at a time. Once
the ice blocks are produced, they will release from the Evaporator
Rods and be shoveled by the Ice Shovel into the Ice Basket
10. The first cycle of ice production maybe a little slow. Please discard
this first batch of ice to ensure that there are no impurities in the ice.
Ensure the Water Reservoir is full and allow the ice production to
continue.
11. Once the Ice Storage Basket is full (ice has filled the Ice Storage
Basket and is touching the Ice Sensor) the “ICE FULL” indicator light
will turn on and the ice production will stop. When the ice level has
dropped, ice production will start again.
NOTE: Please ensure that you do not use heavy chemical detergents
when cleaning the Water Reservoir or interior of the Ice Maker,
as it may get inside the Ice Maker and may cause the ice
produced to have a peculiar taste. If you do get detergent
inside the Ice Maker’s water pump, ensure you flush the
system thoroughly to remove all traces from the Ice Maker.
NOTE: If you require large quantities of ice, remove ice from the Ice
Storage Basket and store in the freezer, as the ice will melt back
into the reservoir if left inside the Ice Maker
12. If the Water Reservoir is empty the ice production will stop and the
“FILL WATER” indicator light will turn on.
13. Please refill the Water Reservoir and press the start button again.
14. If yourequire your Ice Maker to stop, press the “STOP” button.
NOTE: The Ice maker will work at its optimum level if cold water within
a temperature range of 7 - 35 °C is used. The warmer the water
used and the warmer the surrounding ambient temperature, the
the longer the ice cycle will be.
Maintaining Your Ice Maker

panel is unable to release
them
There are too many ice
cubes in the storage basket
The ice cubes are too large
and are fusing together
There is a fault on the
control panel
The water sensor is to high
to detect the water level.
Remove the ice cubes and allow
the ice maker to rest for a short
period and then restart
Remove ice cubes from the
storage basket
Stop the ice maker, pour hot
water over the fused ice blocks
to melt them back into the
reservoir. allow the ice maker
to rest with thelid open and then
restart
Contact your closest repair
centre
Adjust the water sensor to the
water inlet tube
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
