BEFORE FIRST USE
Before first use, please take a few minutes to read this instruction book
and find a place to keep it handy for future reference. Please pay particular
attention to the safety instructions.
1. Unpack the appliance, then check and make sure that all the accessories
including ice basket and ice scoop etc. are included.
2. Please ensure the ice maker is level and stable to avoid malfunction.
3. 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.
4. 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 a 15cm clearance on all sides of the ice maker for proper
ventilation.
5. Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water, as this may damage the ice
maker. It is recommended to fill the reservoir with room temperature water
or cooler.
8
USING YOUR ICE MAKER
1. Ensure the drain tube plug at the bottom of water reservoir is closed.
2. Plug the ice maker into the wall outlet. The Ice Making In Progress indicator
(f) will blink.
NOTE: The ice maker should not be turned on for 30 minutes, if it has been
moved.
3. Open the lid (refer to the diagram on page 7) and remove the ice basket.
4. Do not fill above the MAX water level mark.
5. Replace the ice basket and close the lid.
6. Press the Ice Size Selector button (e) to select the ice size, (b) for small ice
and (a) for larger sized ice.
7. Press the Start/Stop button (d) and the Ice making In Progress indicator
lights solidly.
8. The ice making cycle will last approximately 7-15 minutes, depending on
the ambient and water temperature.
9. The ice making cycle starts with water being pumped into the ice tray
situated below the evaporator. Over the next 7-15 minutes ice forms 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 export. The ice tray will automatically move
back into position under the evaporator and start the next cycle.
10. The Ice Basket Is Full indicator (h) will light up when the ice basket is full
and the ice maker will stop automatically. Gently remove the ice from the
ice basket with the ice scoop. After approximately 5 seconds, the ice
maker will restart the ice making function automatically.
11. The Out Of Water indicator (g) will light up when the water reservoir is
empty and the ice making cycle will stop automatically. Remove the ice
basket and add water to the water reservoir. Press the Start/Stop button (d)
to restart the ice making cycle.
12. Once the desired amount of ice has been dispensed, press the Start/Stop
button (d) and unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
13. Open the lid and transfer the ice to a freezer.
NOTE: The ice will last in the ice maker for up to an 18 hour period, depending
on the ambient temperature.

USING YOUR ICE MAKER
1. Allow the ice maker to warm up to room temperature.
2. It is recommended to replace the water weekly. Please empty the water

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To keep your ice tasting fresh and your ice maker looking in great condition, it
is recommended to clean the ice maker at least once per week.
1. Stop the ice making cycle by pressing the Start/Stop button (d). Wait five
minutes and unplug.
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 55-60mm away from the working table and
remove the drain tube plug to drain excess water (see Fig.1, Fig.2 and
Fig.3).
4. Check and make sure the drain tube plug is closed securely. Fill the water
reservoir with clean water, press the Ice Size Selector button (e) until the
Appliance Needs Cleaning indicator (c) flashes. Press the Start/Stop button
(d) and the pump will run water for approximately 6 minutes. The Ice maker
will go into standby mode after running for 6 minutes. Finally, remove the
drain tube plug and empty the water out.
5. Remove the ice basket.
6. Clean the ice maker interior with a soft cloth soaked with warm water and
vinegar. Then rinse with clean water and drain any remaining water.
7. Replace the drain tube plug securely in position. Wash the ice basket and
ice scoop in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.
8. Clean the exterior of the ice maker with a soft damp cloth. Use a mild
dishwashing detergent, if necessary.
NOTE: Do not use organic solvent, boiled water, detergent, strong acid and
strong alkali etc. for cleaning.

noise.
1. Water pump is damaged.
2. The appliance has not
been cleaned for a long
time, which has resulted in
a substance build up in the
water inlet of the water pump,
so the water is not moving
smoothly. There is air in the
