  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 a cooler.

USING YOUR ICE MAKER

  1. Ensure the drain tube plug at the bottom of the 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.

  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 been completed, the ice tray will tilt backward 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.
