FAQS

1. Water Residue Found

Every Gevi Ice Maker goes through a running test before leaving the plant, so it is normal to find water residue in the water reservoir or drain hoses. Run the self-cleaning program twice with fresh water before first use.

2. Time of Ice Making

The time of ice making is affected by the ambient and water temperature (refer to page 6 for the temperature range). The first ice comes out between 15 and 30 minutes. Usually, it takes 3–4 hours to fill the ice basket.

3. Water Flowing During Ice Making

Every time the ice maker starts making ice or water is refilled, water flows through the ice chute into the water reservoir. This is to cool the water. Water will stop flowing when its temperature is low enough to form ice.

4. Sounds Made by Ice Maker

The ice maker is designed to work quietly, but it will make some sounds during operation.

5. Heat Generation

It is normal for the ice maker to generate some heat during operation, especially when it has been working for a long time.

Before First Use

1. Unpack and check if all the items (refer to page 3) are available. Please contact Gevi Customer Service if anything is missing.
2. Ensure the ice maker stands upright on a level surface. After the jolt of transport, keep the ice maker still for 2 hours before plugging it in.
3. The incline angle should not exceed 45° when moving. Turning upside down is strictly forbidden. Doing so can cause damage to the compressor or refrigerating system.
4. Keep the environment dry and stay away from heat sources such as ovens, heaters, and corrosive gases. Maintain at least 6 inches of clearance on all sides of the ice maker for ventilation.
5. The ice maker should operate between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C). Use water with a temperature between 46°F (8°C) and 82°F (28°C) for ice making or cleaning. Exceeding the limit may result in severe damage, which is not covered by the warranty.
6. Clean your ice maker and accessories. Add water to the reservoir, run the self-cleaning program twice with fresh water, and then drain it out through the drain hoses.
7. Add water to the reservoir, start ice making, and discard the initial batch of ice. This helps to ensure the best taste.

HOW TO USE

Operation Guide

1. Two Ways of Adding Water

• Automatically add water by connecting the tap water with the 10 ft 1/4″ hose (included in the package). Insert one end of it into the water inlet and connect the other end to the water tap through a faucet adapter (excluded from the package). Water refill will stop if you turn off the machine or open and close the lid.
• Manually add water by pouring potable water into the water reservoir. Do not exceed the “Max” water line.

Notes: The water used for ice making needs to be between 46°F (8°C) and 82°F (28°C).

2. Drain Water

• Take the drain hoses off and put them in a sink or a bucket. Make sure that the ends of the hoses are lower than the bottom of the ice maker.
• Remove the drain cap. The drain hoses will drain the water by themselves.
• After fully draining, seal back the drain hoses and hang them up at the back of your ice maker.

Notes: Drain the ice maker through the drain hoses at the back of the machine. Do not tip the ice maker over.

3. Heat Dissipation

The ice maker generates some heat while it is working, so a 6-inch clearance on all sides should be kept for proper ventilation. Remember to keep the environment dry and stay away from heat sources such as ovens, heaters, and corrosive gases.

4. Magnetic Switch

The magnetic switch in the lid works for the two scenarios below.

• Scenario 1. The ice maker stops ice making when the indicator is on. When you open and close the lid, the magnetic switch triggers ice making. If the ice full infrared sensor (refer to page 4) detects that the ice is not full, the machine continues ice making. Otherwise, the indicator of lights up again. This is designed to save energy in case the ice melts, and the machine restarts making ice constantly, but no one is around.
• Scenario 2. The ice maker stops ice making when the water is not enough water, so it will not continue to make ice until there is enough water. When you open and close the lid, the magnetic switch triggers water level detection. If there is enough water for ice making, the machine will resume ice making. Otherwise, the indicator of Lights up again. Be aware that if you connect the ice maker to a water supply, the action of opening and closing the lid will trigger the magnetic switch to stop auto water refill and restart ice making.

5. Turn Off the Ice Maker

Press the “On/Off” button to turn off the ice maker. The machine will continue to work for an extra 30–60 seconds to remove the remaining ice from internal components, and it will automatically stop working when the process is completed. The indicator keeps flashing unless the ice maker is unplugged.

Note: When unplugging the ice maker, empty the ice basket to avoid overflow of water from melted ice.

Ice Making

1. Ensure the drain hoses at the back of the ice maker have been sealed and hung up on the machine.
2. Plug into a 120V/60Hz wall outlet. Check if the indicator flashes.
3. Open the lid, add potable water to the water reservoir, then close the lid. Be careful not to exceed the “Max” water line. If it is the first time using this ice maker, read the instructions of “Before First Use” on page 6.
4. Press the “On/Off” button. The indicator glows white solidly.
5. Wait for 15–30 minutes to enjoy fresh nugget ice. Note that the time of first ice is affected by the ambient temperature and water temperature. Refer to page 6 for the temperature range.
6. The ice maker keeps making ice until the ice basket is full or the water runs low.

Notes

• Remember to take out the ice scoop before making ice to avoid it being covered by the ice.
• The heat insulation layer used for housing only helps slow down the melting of ice. The rate of melting depends on the ambient temperature. It is recommended to transfer ice to a freezer for longer storage.
• When the machine stops ice making triggered by , it will not continue to make ice until the ice is fully or partially removed, or the lid is opened and closed. This is designed to save energy in case ice melts and the machine restarts, making ice, but no one is around.
• If the ice maker is not to be used for some time, empty the water reservoir and dry it for storage.
• The ice maker is designed to work quietly, but it will make some noise during operation.

Cleaning

1. Remove all the ice.
2. Drain the ice maker through the drain hoses. Remember to place the hoses into a sink or a bucket before removing the drain cap.
