OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This portable icemaker uses a fully automatic control system, with an advanced
microcomputer for easy and convenient ice making. Making ice is simple and
fast. Just add water, plug into an outlet, and press the ON button. You can
select one of the two ice cube sizes with the touch of a button. When first
turning on the unit or during icemaking cycles, the compressor will stay idle for 3
minutes, while energizing.
There are warning indicators that alert you to fill water when the reservoir is
empty and to remove ice when the storage basket is full. The icemaker also has
built-in safeguards that can limit accidental damage, automatically shutting down
the system when necessary.
Pre-Operating Instructions
Please read carefully.
1. The incline angle of the icemaker cabinet should not exceed 45˚
during transportation or use. Do not turn the icemaker upside down.
Doing so could cause the compressor or refrigerating system to operate
incorrectly. When the icemaker is moved or transported, please allow time
for the fluids in the compressor to settle. Before using the icemaker for the first
time, please wait 2 hours after the unit has been leveled and positioned in its
proper place.
2. Please ensure the icemaker is level and on a stable table or platform
to avoid malfunction.
3. The machine must be placed on a dry and level surface with sufficient
ventilation, far from heat sources such as ovens, heaters and corrosive gases.
Leave an 8-inch clearance on all sides of the icemaker for proper ventilation.
4. Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water. This may damage the icemaker.
It is best to fill the water reservoir with water of room temperature or lower.

English
Operating Instructions
1. Open the top cover, take out the ice storage basket and fill the water reservoir
with drinkable (tap, purified or bottled) 2.3 quarts water to the level mark and
replace the ice storage basket.
Lift ice basket to add water
Make sure that the water level does not reach above the level mark or the
bottom of the ice storage basket. Close the top cover.
Note: During the operation process, if the level of water in the water reservoir
becomes too low, the machine will automatically stop operating and the
"Add Water" indicator will display on the LED.
2. Plug the unit into a grounded outlet. Push the ON / OFF button on the control
panel to turn on the machine.
3. Select the desired size of ice cube by pressing the S or L ice selector button.
S = Small ice cubes (Approx. 7 minutes)
L = Large ice cubes (Approx. 8 minutes)
The icemaker will start making ice soon after. The next cycle of 9 ice cubes
is complete (based on water temperature, ambient room temperature and
selected ice cube size).
Note: To stop the operation, press the ON/OFF button.

English
Operating Process
1. Water is pumped from the water storage tank to the water box, which may
take up to 1 minute.
2. The icemaking cycle begins when the evaporator rods are dipped into the
water box. You will hear the compressor working.
3. It will take approximately 6-13 minutes for each icemaking cycle, depending
on the size selected & room temperature. The larger the size or higher room
temperature, the more time is needed to make the ice. After the cycle is
finished, the water box will tilt forward and the remaining water will flow
back into the water storage tank. The evaporator rods will then release the ice
cubes.
Note: If the room ambient temperature is below 60˚ F, then small ice cube
sizes are suggested to prevent ice cubes from fusing together.
4. Approximately 15 seconds later, the water box will tilt backwards and the ice
pusher will push the ice into the ice storage basket. After the water box flips
back to its original position, the next icemaking cycle will begin.
5. When the maximum capacity of ice cubes is collected and the ice obstructs
the infared sensor, the icemaker will automatically stop operating. The “ICE
FULL” LED indicator will light up.
If more ice is needed, remove the ice from the ice storage basket; then
replace the basket into the machine, making sure that the basket is placed
back to its original position. Note: When replacing the basket, ensure that the
infared sensor is not obstructed by the basket so that the machine operates
properly.
WARNING! Direct or reflected sunlight may cause the infrared sensor to
malfunction. If the unit doesn't stop, even with ice cubes
obstructing the sensor, move the unit out of the sunlight.
6. To continue making ice, check that there is water in the water storage tank. If
there is no water in the water storage tank, then no water will be pumped into
the water box, and the operation will stop. The "Add Water" LED display will
light up. Press the “OFF” button. Fill the water storage tank with water, and
then press the “ON” button for the icemaker to begin operating again. Allow
the refrigerant inside the compressor at least 3 minutes to settle before
restarting.
7. If the compressor stops for any reason such as water shortage, too much ice,
power off, etc., do not restart the machine right away.
Wait at least 3 minutes before restarting the machine.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before using your icemaker, it is strongly recommended that you clean the
icemaker thoroughly. Be sure to clean the icemaker regularly.
1. When cleaning, please make sure the power has been turned off and the
plug is disconnected from the outlet. When plugging or unplugging the unit
from the outlet, pull directly on the plug. Never pull on the power cord.
2. Remove the ice storage basket.
3. Drain remaining water from the unit by unplugging the drain plug
on the front bottom side. When cleaning is completed, the plug
must be properly inserted back onto the drain otherwise the
icemaker will leak.
4. Use a mild detergent diluted in warm water and wipe with a soft
towel or sponge.
Solvents, detergents and abrasives must never be
used for cleaning.
5. Wipe the inner parts, such as the ice storage basket, water reservoir, water
box, ice pusher, and evaporator rods.
English
6. The outside of the icemaker should be cleaned regularly with a mild
detergent solution, warm water, and a soft cloth.
7. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
8. To begin making ice once the unit has been cleaned, pour clean water into
the water reservoir and fill up to the level line follow operating instructions.
Never tilt or place the icemaker on its side, otherwise you must wait
10 hours for compressor coolant to settle.
9. To ensure the cleanliness of the ice cubes, the water in the water storage tank
should be replaced every 24 hours.
10. When the machine is not in use or will not be used for an extended period
of time, pull out the drain plug at front bottom of the machine to empty the
remaining water in the water reservior completely. (Follow the instructions in
number 4 above.)
