space around the ice machine. Keep good
ventilation.
Only the power supply specified on the
machine nameplate can be used with this
ice machine.
This ice machine cannot be connected to
hot water.
Socket for this ice maker must be reliably
grounded and with leakage protection.
The ice machine must be disconnected
from power before manual cleaning,
repairing and maintenance.
Before cleaning, repairing and
maintenance, the remaining ice in the ice bin should be removed from the ice
machine to avoid contamination to ice.
Do not splash water directly onto the
surface of the ice machine during the cleaning process; otherwise it may cause
short circuit, leakage or other faults.

1. Check if the ice machine is in good
condition and the accessories are
complete; check the machine model and
the machine nameplate.
2. Clean the ice storage bin and the food
area inside with a sponge soaked in warm
water and soda. Then wash and dry it with
potable water.
3. Place the ice machine in the operation
area; ensure that the machine is placed on
a leveled floor. So as to ensure the water
flows evenly on the evaporator.
4. The compressor chamber is located at the
back. The compressor and condenser are
installed in it. For air cooled unit, it requires
good ventilation. Therefore, the front and
rear of the ice maker must have ventilation
space of more than 20-30 cm.
5. The bottom of the ice machine is equipped
with adjustable legs for level adjustment
and floor cleaning.
6. Connect the machine's inlet water filter
and water pipe referring to the schematic
diagram of installation.

connection. In order to meet a good draining, it is recommended that the drain pipe should have a difference of level more than 3cm per meter; and confirm that the drain pipe is not blocked. It is recommended that the drain pipe be
connected to an open drainage port.
9. Any joint in the drain pipe must not be
higher than the machine drainage port; any joint in the drain pipe cannot be higher
than the previous joint.
10. Confirm the power requirements stated in
the machine nameplate; ensure that the
power supply meets the requirements.

temperature, and pressure of the water
supply meet the above requirements.
2. Start up: turn on the power switch. After
power-on, the machine begins to make ice
automatically.
3. For normal operation, please confirm: ✓ There is water in the water trough and no
overflow occurs;
✓ The pump is working properly and water is
flowing evenly on the evaporator;
✓ The compressor is running normally, the
temperature of the evaporator and the ice
making water is gradually decreasing;
✓ For air cooled machine, check the fan is
running normally, and there is stable air flow in the inlet and outlet of the ice
machine;
✓ The ice machine has no abnormal noise; ✓ The ice machine has no abnormal
vibration;
✓ It takes about 10 to 20 minutes to make
one batch ice, depending on the ambient temperature and the temperature of the water. The higher the temperature is, the
longer the ice making will take;
✓ Ice cube can be properly defrosted from
the machine.

For the air-cooled ice maker, the condenser should be cleaned every three weeks. Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush to brush it up and down along the fin direction, to avoid damage to the fins and further affecting the cooling effect.
The condenser filter should be cleaned every 2 weeks.

Turn on the ice maker; push “clean” button
for 3 seconds, the ice maker will get into clean process. Put in proper amount of clean solution manually followed by the
clean and sterilizing process instruction.
Push “clean” button. The ice maker will do
auto clean for about 15 minutes. Please do spray cleaning to the evaporator at the mean time to insure a complete clean.
When finished, the led display flashes
“Clean” slowly again.
Put in proper amount of sterilizing solution
manually followed by the clean and sterilizing process instruction. Push the “clean” button again, the ice maker will do auto sterilizing for about 15 minutes. Please do spray sterilizing to the evaporator at the mean time to insure a complete sterilizing. When finished, the ice maker will get into rinsing process, the
process will take about 5 minutes, and do 5 cycles rinsing.
The ice maker will get back to do ice
making as soon as the clean process end.
Please throw away the next 5 batches ice

If the ice machine works abnormally, please
confirm below before making a service call:
1. Check the water supply
✓ whether there is water in the water trough; ✓ whether the water pressure for the ice
machine is 0.13MPa to 0.55MPa; the
water temperature is 5-35 °C;
✓ whether the water valve is open; ✓ whether there is no water leakage;
2. Check the power
✓ whether the indicator on the display panel
is ON;
✓ whether the panel display does not display
the OFF standby state;
✓ If the LED on the display panel is not ON,
check whether the plug and socket are normal, and whether the power supply
switch is ON.
3. Check nameplate and series number ✓ Check the nameplate located on the side
or back of the ice machine and record the model and series number of the ice
machine.
