Before Using for the First Time
Pre-operating instructions:
Please read carefully.
1. The incline angle of the ice maker cabinet should not exceed 45° during trans-
portation or use. Do NOT turn the ice maker upside-down.
Doing so could cause the compressor or refrigerating system to operate
incorrectly. When the ice maker is moved or transported, please allow time for
the fluids in the compressor to settle. Before using the ice maker for the first
time, please wait 2 hours after the unit has been leveled and positioned in its
proper place.
2. Please ensure the ice maker is level and on a stable table or platform to avoid
malfunction.
3. The machine must be placed on a dry and level surface with sufficient
ventilation, far from heat sources such as ovens, heaters, and corrosive gases.
Leave an 8-inch clearance on all sides of the ice maker for proper ventilation.
4. Do NOT fill the water reservoir with hot water. This may damage the ice maker.
It is best to fill the water reservoir with water of room temperature or colder.
How to Use
1. Open the top cover, take out the ice storage basket and fill the water reservoir
with drinkable (tap, purified or bottled) water (2.3 quarts capacity) to the level
mark and replace the ice storage basket.
Make sure that the water level does not reach above the level mark or the bot-
tom of the ice storage basket. Close the top cover.
NOTE: During the operation process, if the level of water in the water reser-
voir becomes too low, the machine will automatically stop operating
and the "ADD WATER" LED indicator will light up.
2. Plug the unit into a grounded outlet. Push the "ON/OFF" button on the control
panel to turn the machine on.
3. Select the desired size of ice cube by pressing the "S" or "L" ice selector button.
NOTE: To stop operation, press the "ON/OFF" button.

Operating Process
1. Water is pumped from the water storage tank to the water box, which may take
up to 1 minute.
2. The ice making cycle begins when the evaporator rods are dipped into the water
box. You will hear the compressor working.
3. It will take approximately 6–13 minutes for each ice making cycle, depending
on the size selected and room temperature. The larger the size or higher room
temperature, 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 room temperature is below 60° F, then small ice cube sizes
are suggested to prevent ice cubes from fusing together.
4. Approximately 15 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 obstructs the
infrared sensor, the ice maker will automatically stop operating. The "ICE FULL"
LED indicator will light up.
If more ice is needed, remove the ice from the ice storage basket (5); then place
the basket back into the machine, making sure that the basket is placed back in its
original position.
NOTE: When replacing the basket, ensure that the infrared sensor is not
obstructed by the basket so that the machine operates properly.
WARNING! Direct or reflected sunlight may cause the infrared sensor to
malfunction. If the unit doesn't stop, even with ice cubes obstructing the
sensor, move the unit out of the sunlight.
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, then no water will be pumped into the
water box, and the operation will stop. The "ADD WATER" LED indicator will light
up. Press the "ON/OFF" button. Fill the water storage tank with water, and then
press the "ON/OFF" button for the ice maker to begin operating again. Allow the
refrigerant inside the compressor at least 3 minutes to settle before restarting.
7. 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.
