Water inflow and water shortage. The flashing arrow indicates that the machine is adding water, and the entire symbol illuminates to indicate that the machine is short of water. “Ice full” alarm. When you remove the ice, the machine will resume ice-making. Set the display.
Mainframe Assembly Screw the four adjustable feet of the attachment into the freezer. (Note: The feet cannot be loose.) Place the freezer on the floor and the ice machine on the freezer. (Note: do not shake after installation is complete). Figure 5 Installation Location Requirements This product is not suitable for outdoor use.
To ensure proper ventilation of the ice machine, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed (at least 8 inches of free space). Leave at least 2 inches of clearance at the back and at least 2 inches at the top and sides for air circulation. If necessary, the installation should allow the ice machine to be pulled forward for servicing.
This equipment requires a standard 110–120-volt, 60 Hz electrical outlet with adequate grounding arrangement. Recommended Ground Wire Method For your personal safety, this equipment must be properly grounded. This equipment is equipped with a power cord with a grounding plug. To minimize the potential shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a matching ground wire type wall outlet and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and regulations.

quick Quick Reinstall Figure 9 Important: The water pressure in the main water system must be at least 6-87 psi. Instructions Clean the Ice Machine Before First Use Before using your ice machine, a thorough cleaning is highly recommended. Open the ice removal door. Clean with diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth.

Reboot the machine and it will return to the default "0". NOTE: The currently set time changes only for the next and subsequent ice making cycles. When the sign is on, the machine stops working, when you remove the ice cubes, it will resume.
When the machine has a timer running, the display area in the lower left corner will display the timer time and the ice-making setting time, and the display content will switch every 5 seconds. Automatic self-cleaning program Turn on the ice machine. Plug in the power supply; the power supply will flash.
Normal Sound Your new ice machine may be making unfamiliar sounds. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like floors, walls, and cabinets can make things sound louder than they actually are. Below are some of the kinds of sounds that may be new to you and their sources. For each ice cycle you will hear a swishing sound as the control valve opens to allow water ...
Cleaning and Maintenance WARNING: Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations, unplug the ice machine from main power. (Exception: Ice Machine Self-Cleaning Program). Do not use any alcohol or fumes to clean/sanitize the ice machine. This can cause cracks in the plastic parts.

cleaners. Note: Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine and moisture, such as in areas like spas or swimming pools, may have some stainless steel discoloration. Chlorine discoloration is normal. Internal cleaning For ice bins Ice storage bins should be sterilized occasionally. Clean the ice box before using the ice machine for the first time, and again after an extended period of inactivity.

distribution pipe cleanly. Clean each small hole on the water distribution pipe shown in the picture below, make sure nothing is blocking each small hole, and put it back in place (turn off the power before cleaning, then remove the front panel). Figure 12 When there are ice cubes on the surface of the evaporator, but it is not easy to fall, do not use mechanical means to forcibly remove them;...

Figure 13 Recommendation: Clean internal parts and reinstall into their respective locations; discard the first batch of ice when the machine is back in service. Use Nu-Calgon Nickel Safe Ice machine Cleaner to Clean the Ice machine System Minerals removed from water during the freezing cycle can eventually form hard, scaly deposits in the water system.

Using a plastic or stainless steel container with a capacity of more than 5 liters, mix 400 ml of Nu-Calgon Nickle Safe Ice machine Cleaner with 3.8 liters of warm water at approximately 120 ℉ -140 ℉ , then divide them into two in 2 cups. It is best to maintain the temperature of each cup of cleaning solution.
