Operating Process
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.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Before using your ice maker, it is strongly recommended that you clean the ice
maker thoroughly. Be sure to clean the ice maker regularly or whenever the
"CLEAN" LED indicator flashes on the control panel.
1. When cleaning, please make sure the power has been turned off and the plug
is disconnected from the outlet. When plugging or unplugging the unit from
the outlet, pull directly on the plug. NEVER pull on the power cord.
2. Remove the ice storage basket.
3. Drain the remaining water from the unit by unthreading the drain plug cap on
the bottom left side. When cleaning is completed, the plug must be properly
inserted back onto the drain otherwise the ice maker will leak.
4. Use a mild detergent diluted in warm water and wipe with a soft towel or
sponge.
Solvents, detergents and abrasives must never be used for cleaning.
5. Wipe the inner parts, such as the ice storage basket, water reservoir, water
box, ice pusher and evaporator rods.
6. The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned regularly with a mild deter-
gent solution, warm water and a soft cloth.
7. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
8. To begin making ice once the unit has been cleaned, pour clean water into
the water reservoir and fill up to the level line (see "How to Use" instructions,
p. 6)
NEVER tilt or place the ice maker on its side, otherwise you must wait 10
hours for compressor coolant to settle.
9. To ensure the cleanliness of the ice cubes, the water in the water storage
tank should be replaced every 24 hours.
10. When the machine is not in use or will not be used for an extended period of
time, remove the drain plug cap to empty the remaining water in the water
reservoir completely. (Follow instructions in #3 above.)
