BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Unpack the appliance, then check and make sure that all the accessories including ice basket and ice scoop etc. are complete. Please contact with the client service department if some accessories are missed.
2. Please ensure the ice maker is level and on a stable table or platform to avoid malfunction.
3. The incline angle of the ice maker cabinet should not exceed 45^ during transportation or use. Do not turn the ice maker upside down. Doing so could cause the compressor or refrigerating system to operate incorrectly. Please allow time for the fluids in the compressor to settle after the ice maker is moved or transported. Before using the ice maker for the first time, please wait for 2 hours after the unit has been leveled and positioned in the proper place.
4. The appliance must be placed on a dry and level surface with sufficient ventilation, far from heat sources such as ovens, heaters and corrosive gases. Leave about a 6-inch (15cm) clearance on all sides of the ice maker for proper ventilation.
5. 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 lower.
6. Do not use the appliance at a very cold environment (lower than 5°C).

1. Clean the appliance by following the operation of "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE" before operate.

USING YOUR ICE MAKER

1. Ensure that the drain plug at the bottom of water reservoir is closed well.
2. Plug the ice maker into the wall outlet, the "POWER" indicator blinks.
   NOTE: Please make the ice maker be rested for 30 minutes before plug if it has been moved.
3. Open the top lid and remove the ice basket.
4. Fill the water reservoir with drinking water.
   NOTE: Do not fill above the MAX water level mark.
5. Replace the ice basket and close the top lid.
6. Press "ON/OFF" key, and the "POWER" indicator lights solidly. At that time, press "SELECT" key to select the ice size. If need to clean the appliance, press "SELECT" key to select "CLEAN" function under standby mode.
7. The ice-making cycle will last approximately
   7-15 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature and water temperature.
8. The ice-making cycle starts with water being pumped into the ice tray situated below the evaporator. Over the next 7-15 minutes ice forms on the evaporator. Once this has completed, the ice tray will tilt backwards and the remaining

ENGLISH

water in the ice tray is drained back into the water reservoir. The ice cubes are then dropped from the evaporator and pushed forward into the ice basket by the ice shovel. The ice tray will automatically move back into position under the evaporator and start the next cycle.

1. The "ICE FULL" indicator will light up when the ice basket is full and then the ice maker will stop the ice-making cycle automatically. Gently remove the ice from the ice basket with the ice scoop. About 5 seconds later, the ice maker will restart its ice making function automatically.
2. The “ADD WATER” indicator will light up when the water reservoir is lack of water and the ice-making cycle will stop automatically. At that time, remove the ice basket and add water to the water reservoir, and then press “ON/OFF” key again to restart the ice-making cycle. The appliance will start working automatically after about 30 minutes if the operator forgets to restart the appliance after refill.
3. When you have got your desired amount of ice, stop the ice making cycle by pressing the "ON/OFF" key and unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
4. Open the top lid and transfer the ice to a freezer.
5. Allow the ice maker to reach room temperature.
