10. Do not tip over.
11. Do not operate with side or back panels removed.
12. If the ice maker is brought in from outside in wintertime, give it a few hours to warm up to room temperature before plugging it in.

INSTALLATION

Ventilation

Do not block air vents. It is necessary to have adequate ventilation space around the ice maker in order to sustain proper performance, dissipation of heat, maintain efficiency and keep power consumption low. There should be a 5 inch minimum clearance maintained at the rear and sides of the unit and 8 inches on top of the unit.

Cleaning

It is highly recommended to thoroughly clean the ice maker before first use as shown on page 5.

Wait One Hour

When first time plugging in, wait one hour for refrigerant fluid to settle before turn on the unit.

Power supply

• Check your local power source. This ice maker requires a 115V, 60Hz power supply.
• Use a receptacle that will accept the ground prong. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
  • Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
  • If along cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

NOTES:

• The ice maker should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
• If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
• Never unplug your ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Humming/knocking sound is heard from the back side of the unit when water is being pumped.

• When water is being pumped from the water tank, the water detecting system will create a few small knocking sounds while the water travels through the internal circuit. This sound is normal and does not indicate a problem with the unit.

The ice maker will not operate

• The power supply cord is unplugged.
• A household fuse or circuit breaker has been tripped.

The Add Water indicator is lit

• Press the POWER button to turn off the unit, fill water up to the MAX (Maximum) water level le mark. Wait three minutes to allow the machine to complete the power oll procedur fely, then press the POWER button again to turn on the unit again.

The ICE indicator is lit

• There is too much ice; remove ice from ice basket.

Ice cubes are sticking together

• The ice cycle is too long. Press the POWER button to turn off the unit, wait three minutes to let the machine to complete the power off procedure safely, then press the POWER button again to turn on the unit again. Select the Small size ice cube selection.
• Water temperature in inner tank is too low. Remove water and insert fresh water with a temperature of between 45°F and 90° F.

Ice making cycle is normal but no ice is made

• Ambient temperature or water temperature in inner tank is too high; make sure the room temperature in the room is below 90°F and/or remove water and insert fresh water with a temperature of between 45°F and 90° F.
• Refrigerant liquid leakage; call an authorized technician to repair.
• Pipe in the cooling system is blocked; call an authorized technician to repair.

Water Filter must be cleaned frequently; at least once per week (this improves the performance of unit)

1. Take out “WATER FILTER” from draining hole (as shown in the figure above).
2. Using only water, clean all residue collected in the “WATER FILTER”
3. If “WATER FILTER” becomes very dirty with residue, water cannot be drained from water tank smoothly, the “ADD WATER” indicator will be illuminated.

Press the POWER button on the control panel to begin the ice making process. The ice making process will last 7 to 13 minutes, depending on the size of the ice cube selection and the water’s and room’s temperature .

NOTE: Warmer water and/or room temperature will increase the ice making time. Use cool water to shorten the ice making process.

Select the size of the ice cube by pressing the SELECT button repeatedly until the corresponding LED indicator (Small (S), Medium (M) or Large (L) ICE indicator ) lights up.

If the room temperature is lower than 60°F, it is recommended to select Small or Medium to avoid ice sticking together.

While the ice maker is on, check the Add Water indicator periodically. If the Add Water indicator is on, the ice maker will stop automatically. In this case, press the POWER button to turn the unit off and fill water up to the level mark. Wait three minutes to let the machine complete the power off procedure safely then press the POWER button again to turn the unit ON in order to re-start the ice making process.

The ice maker automatically stops working when the ice basket is full in which case the ICE indicator will illuminate.

• CHANGING THE WATER: Change the water in the water tank every 24 hours to ensure a reasonable hygiene level. If unit is not in use,drain all water left in the tank. For best results, the use of distilled water is recommended.
• DRAINING THE WATER: To drain the water, simply remove the cap from the drain. Replace after draining the water.

“Water level is low! Please refill water immediately!

1. If “ADD WATER” indicator lights up, the minimum water level in the tank has reached the “MIN” (minimum) marking line.
2. Power unit OFF, then refill the tank with fresh water not to exceed the “MAX” (maximum) marking line. Please refer to the illustration showing on page 5 about the Maximum and Minimum Water Level Line.
3. Power unit ON again to re-start the ice making process.

IMPORTANT: Only fresh, clean water should be used to make ice. Other liquids such as fruit juices, milk and soda will damage the efficiency of the machine.
