INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Ice Maker

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:

1 Instruction Manual
1 Ice Scoop
1 Ice Basket

Before connecting the ice maker to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Installation Of Your Ice Maker

• Locate the ice maker away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the painted coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the ice maker not to perform properly.
• Plug the ice maker into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized Avanti products service center.

IMPORTANT: Do not install the Ice maker near an oven, radiator, or other heat source.

Warning\~

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti Products service center.

This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC /60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.

The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

EXTENSION CORD

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

y SURGE PROTECTOR

Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.

If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges / outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact a licensed electrician in your area.

Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product warranty.

The indicator above the word "ON/OFF" &"SELECT" will illuminate in RED when the unit is plugged in.

It will be illuminated in BLUE when the unit is turned on.

ADD WATER INDICATOR

The ice maker automatically checks the water level in the tank. If the water level is too low, the indicator will illuminate in RED and will stop working automatically. Press the ON/OFF button, add water to the unit and push the ON/OFF button again the indicator will turn off and will resume normal operation.

ICE FULL INDICATOR

When the ice-bin is full, the indicator will illuminate in RED. The indicator will remain lit until the ice in the bin either melts away slowly or has been removed. The unit will stay in a "Standby" mode until ice has been removed / melted at which time the unit will automatically start operation as normal.

LARGE

When the system in the process of a large size ice making cycle, the light will illuminate in GREEN during the ice making process.

SMALL

When the system in the process of a small size ice making cycle, the light will illuminate in GREEN during the ice making process.

NOTES

Operating Instructions

Starting your Ice maker

• Open the top cover and remove the ice basket.
• Remove any dust or objects that may be in the water tank

WARNING:

Direct sunlight may affect the infrared sensors and cause the unit to malfunction.

If at any time the unit does not stop the ice-making operation even when the ice-bin is full, move the unit to another location where it is out of direct sunlight.

• For best performance, water temperature should be between 7^ (45^) and 35^ (95^) and ambient between 15^ (59^) and 25^ (77^) .
  Actual ice making capacity will depend on the ambient temperature of the surroundings of the ice maker as well as the temperature and quality of the water used to make the ice.

Getting Ice from the Ice-bin

• Open the top cover to access the ice basket.
• Remove the amount of ice as desired and close the top.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Your Ice Maker

To ensure the cleanliness of the ice cubes, it is recommended that you use filtered water.
- Remove the drain plug to drain remaining water from the water reservoir when the ice maker will not be used for long period of time. Put the drain plug back in place after the water has been drained.
- Always change with fresh water before starting ice production at initial installation or after long shut-off periods.
- Please clean your ice maker regularly. When cleaning, unplug the unit and remove the ice cubes. Use a diluted solution of water and vinegar to clean the inside and the outside surface of the Ice maker. Do not spray Ice maker with chemicals or diluted agents such as acids, gasoline or oil. Rinse thoroughly before starting.

- Clean the inner liner, ice-bin, and water box.

IMPORTANT: Do not install the Ice maker near an oven, radiator, or other heat source.

Power Failure
