3. Make sure the ice maker is level and on a stable table or platform as to avoid
malfunction.
4. The incline angle of the ice maker cabinet should not exceed 45°during transportation
or use. Do not turn the ice maker upside down. Doing so could cause the compressor or
refrigerating system to operate incorrectly. Please allow time for the fluids in the
compressor to settle after the ice maker is moved or transported. Before using the ice maker
for the first time, please wait for 2 hours after the unit has been leveled and positioned in the
proper place.
5. The appliance must be placed on a dry and level surface with sufficient ventilation, far
from heat sources such as ovens, heaters and corrosive gases. Leave about a 6-inch (15cm)
clearance on all sides of the ice maker for proper ventilation.
6. Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water. This may damage the ice maker. It is best to
fill the water reservoir with water of room temperature or lower.
7. Do not use the appliance in a very cold environment (lower than 5℃).
8. Clean the appliance before use by following instructions “CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE”.
USING YOUR ICE MAKER
1. Ensure that the drain plug at the bottom of the water reservoir is closed well.
2. Plug the ice maker into the wall outlet, the “ICE” indicator blinks.
NOTE: Allow the ice maker to rest for 30 minutes before plugging if it has been moved.
3. Open the top lid and remove the ice basket.

4. Fill the water reservoir with drinking water.
NOTE: Do not fill above the MAX water level mark.
5. Replace the ice basket and close the top lid.
6. Press “ON/OFF” key and the “ICE” indicator lights solidly.
7. The ice-making cycle will last approximately 7-15 minutes, depending on the ambient
temperature and water temperature.
8. The ice-making cycle starts with water being pumped into the ice tray situated below the
evaporator. Over the next 7-15 minutes ice is formed on the evaporator. Once this has
completed, the ice tray will tilt backwards and the remaining water in the ice tray is drained
back into the water reservoir. The ice cubes are then dropped from the evaporator and
pushed forward into the ice basket by the ice shovel. The ice tray will automatically move
back into position under the evaporator and start the next cycle.
9. The “ICE FULL” indicator will light up when the ice basket is full and then the ice maker
will stop the ice-making cycle automatically. Gently remove the ice from the ice basket with
the ice scoop. About 5 seconds later, the ice maker will restart its ice making function
automatically.
10. The “ADD WATER” indicator will light up when the water reservoir lacks water and the
ice-making cycle will stop automatically. If so, remove the ice basket and add water to the
water reservoir and then press “ON/OFF” key again to restart the ice-making cycle. The
appliance will start working automatically after about 30 minutes if the operator forgets to
restart the appliance after refilling it.
11. When you get your desired amount of ice, stop the ice making cycle by pressing the
“ON/OFF” key and unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
12. Open the top lid and transfer the ice to a freezer.
13. Allow the ice maker to reach room temperature.
14. Suggest replacing the water every week. Please empty the water reservoir if the ice
maker is not used for a long time.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To keep your ice tasting fresh and your ice maker looking great, we recommend cleaning
your ice maker once a week.
1. Stop the ice-making cycle by pressing the “ON/OFF” key, unplug the ice maker from the
wall outlet and allow it to warm up to room temperature.
2. If residual water is found in the ice tray, gently push the ice tray back so that all water
drains into the water reservoir.
3. Move the appliance forward to a place 60 mm away from the working table and open the
drain plug to drain out excess water (see Fig.4, Fig.5 and Fig.6).
4. Remove the ice basket.
5. Clean the ice maker interior with a soft cloth soaked with warm water and vinegar, rinse
with clean water and then drain all the water.
6. Replace the drain plug well in position. Wash the ice basket and ice scoop in warm soapy
water. Rinse and dry.
7. Clean the exterior of the ice maker with a soft damp cloth. Use a mild dish washing soap,
if necessary.
NOTE:
1) Do not use organic solvent, boiled water, detergent, strong acid and strong alkali etc. for
cleaning.
2) Do not clean the evaporator.
8. Empty the water reservoir and dry it for storage if the ice maker is not used for a long
time.

on and restarting the ice maker.
Ice collects together
Making ice takes too much
time.
Stop making ice and restart the
ice-making cycle after the ice
melts.

temperature.
Fill the water reservoir with water
ranges between 8℃ and 25℃.
The ice-making cycle
seems normal but no
ice is produced

water temperature is too
high.
Start the ice-making cycle at
environment with an ambient
temperature less than 32°C and
fill the water reservoir with some
cold water.
Refrigerating system leaks.
Call customer service.
Refrigerating system blocks.
Call customer service.
Poor ice-making
result

ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY DISPOSAL
You can help protect the environment!
Please remember to respect the local regulations:
hand in the non-working electrical
equipment to an appropriate waste disposal centre.
Water pump does not
work or produces
noise.
Water pump is damaged.
The appliance has not been
cleaned for a long time,which
has resulted in the formation
of mucoid substance at the
water inlet of the water pump,
so that the water-pumping is
not smooth. There is air in the
water pipe, so there will be
resonance noise produced
when pumping water.
Contact the after-sales
department for replacing the
water pump.
The appliance should be cleaned
in one to two weeks, and some
neutral cleaning agents (such as
detergent and soapy water etc.)
can be added if necessary.
