Daily ice output: 72 lbs

Ice storage capacity: 3.5L

Refrigerant: R290

Compression-type refrigeration: 120V. 60Hz

Water tank capacity: 3L

Power Consumption: 210 watts

First batch ice: approximates 10 minutes (water temperature 60F to 100F)

1. Remove the exterior and interior packaging. Remove the blue tape from around and inside the unit.
2. Remove the ice basket and ice scoop. If any parts are missing, please contact our customer service. Clean the scoop, tank & ice basket per cleaning instructions.
3. Put the ice maker on a level & flat countertop without direct sunlight and other sources of heat (i.e.: stove, furnace, radiator). There must be at least 4 inches of space between the back & sides with the wall. Position so that the plug is accessible.
4. Allow 24 hours for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging the ice maker in to a suitable outlet. The refrigerant needs to settle after shipping or it may not work.

1. Open the cover to remove the ice basket. Pour water into the inner tank to the max water level. Distilled water, purified water, and mineral water can all be used. Place the ice basket back in the unit. Note: Do not fill with hot water as it could damage the ice maker. It is best to fill with below room temperature water. Plug in the unit.
2. Press the POWER button on the control panel to turn the unit on. It will be in standby mode.
3. Press Ice Making mode to begin the ice making cycle. The first 3 cycles the ice may be irregular. NOTE: Ice Making mode and Cleaning mode can not be used at the same time.
4. The ice making cycle lasts approx. 10 minutes, depending on the water temperature and the room temperature. The recommended room temperature is 50 to 90 degrees.
5. Note: During the operation process, if the water level in the water reservoir becomes too low, the machine will automatically stop operating and the Water indicator will display on the LED. If this happens, press the ON/OFF button, fill water up to the max water level mark and press ON/OFF button again to turn on the unit. Allow the refrigerant liquid inside the compressor to settle at least 3 minutes before restarting.
6. The ice maker will stop when the ice basket is full and the FULL indicator will turn on. Warning: Keep away from direct sunlight. Sunlight could influence the infrared ray which detects when the basket is full.
7. Remove the full ice basket and empty the ice into a container or bag. Place the ice basket back in the unit.
8. Change water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure a reasonable hygiene level.
9. Press POWER at any time to turn the unit off or on. If you turn the unit off during the ice making cycle, wait 5 minutes so the ice can drop down into the basket before you turn it on again.

Warning: 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 24 hours after the unit has been leveled and positioned in its proper place.

Before using your ice maker, it is strongly recommended to clean it thoroughly and frequently.

1. Wash the ice basket and scoop in warm soapy water. Rinse. Dry.
2. Unplug the unit and remove any ice cubes if necessary.
3. DRAIN WATER: Remove any water by placing the unit over a sink. Unscrew the cap and then pull out the silicone plug located in the back on the bottom. After all water is released, replace the silicone plug and replace the cap.
4. Clean the interior regularly with vinegar and water or a diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth. Rinse cloth and wipe before starting. Do not use any chemicals or diluted agents.
5. The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent and warm water.
6. When not in use, drain the water completely & dry the interior.

1. Plug in the unit. Fill the tank with water to the max water level.
2. Press the POWER button on the control panel.
3. Press the Cleaning button. Each cleaning has 10 cycles of pumping and pouring water. Each cycle is about 60 seconds. During this process, the indicators will flash back and forth during cleaning. Do not disconnect the power supply when cleaning. If you want to stop this process, press the POWER button again. When the cleaning process is complete, it will go into standby mode.
4. After cleaning is complete, place the Ice Maker so the drain cap is over the sink. Unscrew the cap off and remove the silicone plug to drain the water from the inner tank to the sink. Replace the silicone plug and cap.

ON/OFF Button: Turns the unit on or off.

LAMPLIGHT Button: Press for light on or off.

ICE-MAKING Button: Press to start making ice.

CLEANING Button: Press for the automatic cleaning function.

UV LAMP Button: Press to turn the UV Lamp on or off.

Ice FULL alarm (F icon): Indicates the ice basket is full.

Add Water Alarm (Water drop icon): Indicates the unit needs more water.

This indicates a low water level or lack of water.

Stop the ice maker, fill with water until it reaches the MAX line, then press the ON/OFF button again to restart.

This indicates the ice basket is full. Simply remove the ice from the ice basket.

This can happen if ice from previous cycles was left in the water tray, or if the unit was stopped and restarted. To resolve this:

Stop the ice maker and restart it when the ice blocks melt. Replace the water. The temperature of the water should be between 40-90 degrees F.

This could be due to a damaged compressor or fan. Please contact customer service.

The voltage is likely lower than recommended. Stop the ice maker by pressing the power button. Do not restart until the voltage is normal.

This could be caused by a blown fuse or no power. Check for a blown fuse and replace/fix it. Turn the power back on.

This can be caused by a few issues:

1. The water tray is blocked by an ice cube. Unplug the power to take out the ice that is blocking the tray. Plug back in and press the Power button; the unit will restart in 3 minutes.
2. The motor is stuck or damaged. Contact customer service.
3. The microswitch is damaged. Contact customer service.

The Ice Full sensor may be damaged or there could be sunlight interference. Try making ice indoors, away from direct sunlight. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

If a power failure occurs due to unplugging the power cord, or the power button has been pushed off during an ice making cycle, small ice chips may form and lodge in the automatic shovel causing it to jam. If this occurs, the ice chips may be removed by unplugging the power cord and gently pushing the shovel to the rear of the cabinet and removing the ice chips, then restarting.

Also, check if the water reservoir is flat when the ice shovel cannot remove the ice to the ice basket. If it is not flat, please push the ice shovel gently by finger, then press the POWER button to restart.
