Polarized Plug
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. Do not defeat the safety purpose of this polarized plug.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Avoid the use of an extension cord because it may overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if you must use an extension cord, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be a minimum size of No. 16AWG and rated no less than 1800W. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Operating Instructions
Pre-Operating Instructions
1. The incline angle of the cabinet should not exceed 45˚ during transportation. Do not turn the icemaker upside-down. Doing so could cause the compressor or refrigerating system to operate incorrectly.
2. The icemaker should be placed on a dry and level surface away from any heat sources and corrosive gases.
3. Before using the icemaker for the first time, wait 12 hours after positioning in its proper place.
4. Make sure that the unit is unplugged. Clean the inside of the icemaker thoroughly by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. Wipe the inner liner, ice collecting tray, water box, ice pusher and evaporator rods.

Operating Instructions
1. Open the lid, remove the ice storage basket, and fill the water storage tank with drinkable (tap, purified or bottled) water. Replace the ice storage basket. Make sure that the water level does not reach the bottom of the ice storage basket. Close the cover.
Note: During the operation process, if the level of water in the water
storage tank becomes too low, the machine will automatically stop operating and the LCD will display “POUR”.
2. Plug the unit into a grounded outlet. Push the button on the control panel to turn on the machine.
3. Press the button to select the delayed start time in half-hour increments of up to 12 hours. Or to begin the ice-making process immediately, skip to the next step.
4. Press the button to select the desired size of the ice cubes. The LCD display will indicate the setting.
* = Small ice cubes (Approx. 9 minutes)
** = Medium ice cubes (Approx. 10 minutes)
*** = Large ice cubes (Approx. 11 minutes)
English
5. Press the button to begin operation.
Note: To stop the operation, press the button again.

English
Operating Process
1. Water is pumped from the water storage tank to the water box, which may take up to 48 seconds.
2. The ice-making cycle begins when the evaporator rods are dipped into the water box.
3. It will take approximately 9-11 minutes for each ice-making cycle, depending upon the size selected. The larger the size, 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 ambient temperature is below 59˚ F, then small or medium ice
cube sizes are suggested to prevent ice cubes from fusing together.
4. Approximately 60 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 ice-making cycle will begin.
5. When the maximum capacity of ice cubes is collected and the ice reaches the temperature sensor, the icemaker will automatically stop operating. The LCD display will show “FULL”. Remove the ice from the ice storage basket. Then replace the basket into the machine, making sure that the basket is pushed back to its original position. This will ensure that the temperature sensor is above the basket so that the machine operates properly.
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, and no water is being pumped into the water box, the operation will stop and the LCD display will show “POUR”. Fill the water storage tank with water and press the button for the icemaker to begin operating again.
7. When the LCD display shows “----“, press the button again to restart the machine. 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
1. To ensure the cleanliness of the ice cubes, the water in the water storage tank must be replaced every 24 hours.
2. The filter (located at the bottom right of the water storage tank) needs to be cleaned regularly so that impurities in the water do not enter the water pump and affect the normal operation of the machine. The filter may be cleaned with a small flexible toothbrush.
3. Unscrew the drainage plug to release the remaining water in the water storage tank when the icemaker will not be used for an extended period of time.
4. Clean the icemaker regularly. When cleaning, make sure that the power has been turned off. Remove the plug from the outlet and remove the ice cubes. Use a mild detergent diluted in water and wipe with a soft towel or sponge to clean the inside and outside surfaces of the unit. Do not spray any strong cleaning solutions on the unit. Avoid using harsh liquids such as acids and gasoline to clean the unit.
5. When plugging or unplugging the unit, pull directly on the plug. Never pull on the power cord.
English
6. If the power cord is damaged, please contact an authorized service center for repair or replacement.
7. To avoid lime scale buildup, drain any remaining water from the water storage tank after each use and clean the appliance once a week.
