This appliance contains the coolant isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.

WARNING

Danger from fire/flammable materials. Please observe the local regulations for the disposal of units with flammable refrigerants and gases.

• Keep ventilation openings in the unit housing free of obstacles.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Do not use any mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process or the ice recovery process.
• Do not use other types of electrical appliances inside the ice cube machine.

Special Notes

• When positioning the unit, make sure that the power cord is not pinched or damaged.
• Make sure that there are no multiple sockets or power supplies on the back of the unit.

To avoid contamination of food, please follow the instructions below:

• Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food. Clean the water drain regularly.
• If the appliance contains a water tank, clean it if it has not been used for 48 hours. Rinse the tank if no water has been removed for 5 days.

WARNING

When using, servicing and disposing of the unit, pay attention to the left symbol on the rear of the unit or on the compressor. This symbol warns of possible fires. There are flammable substances in the refrigerant lines and in the compressor. Keep the appliance away from sources of fire during use, maintenance and disposal.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• During transportation, the incline angle of the cabinet should not be over 45°. Do not turn the Ice maker upside down. As this may damage the compressor and sealed system.
• Remove all packing material and carefully check your ice maker to ensure it is in good condition and that there is no damage to the ice maker or power cord and plug.
• The Ice maker should be placed horizontally on a level surface. To ensure proper ventilation for your Ice maker allow 150 mm of space at the top, the back and on each side. Do not install the Ice maker near an oven, radiator, or any other heat source.
• Before using the Ice maker for the first time, please wait 2 hours after positioning it, and keep the front lid open for at least 2 hours.
• Ensure that the voltage indicated on the ice maker corresponds with the voltage in your home.
• Pure water is not allowed to be used on this unit, spring water is recommended.

START AND OPERATION

Step 1

Plug the power plug of the appliance into the wall socket.

Step 2

Add water as shown in Figure A or Figure B.

Sketch A - Add Water by Manual Sketch B - Connect Unit to Water Faucet
Open the water reservoir door,and fill directly,please be noted not over the MAX line.

If the machine is in the ice cube making process and the refill water icon is displayed, but you want to make more ice cubes, first remove the ice and refill a cup of water to prevent the water tank from overflowing when the ice melts.

Step 3

Press the ON/OFF button to turn on/off the unit.

Step 4

The water is automatically returned to the water tank from the drip tray.

Step 5

Use the SMALL/LARGE buttons to select the desired ice cube size.

Note: If the temperature is less than 15 °C , SMALL size selection is recommended; if the temperature is more than 30 °C , LARGE size selection is recommended.

Step 6

At the beginning of the ice cube making cycle, the ice is frozen on the evaporator fingers.

Note: The duration of the ice cube production depends on the ambient temperature.

Step 7

Once the ice cube making cycle is complete, the drip tray tilts forward. The remaining water is returned to the water tank and the ice cubes fall off the evaporator fingers.

Step 8

Within seconds, the drip tray tilts downwards and the ice produced in the previous cycle is pressed into the container. The machine repeats steps 4 - 6.

Step 9

Press the ice cube output button to obtain ice cubes. The corresponding icon will light up on the screen.

Note: Place your glass directly under the ice cube dispenser as it will fall out directly. If the ice cubes have been stored in the container for a long time, they may freeze and stick together, preventing the ice cubes from falling out. If this is the case, use the supplied ice bucket to separate the ice cubes before pressing the button.

Step 10

If you press the Crushed Ice output button, the device outputs Crushed Ice.

Note: Never put your fingers in the crusher, otherwise they could be injured.

Step 11

Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the unit.

Step 12

Press the WATER button to obtain water.

Note: If you wish to receive cold water, at least the ice making function should be activated. Be sure to place your glass under the water outlet before pressing the button, otherwise the water will splash everywhere.

Step 13

If you want to remove or replace the filling water line or insert the drain block, proceed as follows:

First remove the blue ring (A) and then press the white ring (B) on the outside. Remove the filling water pipe last.

CLEANING AND CARE

• Clean the inside, ice collector, water container, ice shovel and evaporator of the appliance regularly. To clean, first unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and remove the ice cubes. Use a vinegar solution diluted with water to clean the inside and outside of the appliance. Do not spray chemicals or thinners, such as acids, gasoline, or oil, into the interior of the appliance. Rinse the unit with water before using it again.
• Make sure that the ventilation openings of the unit are not blocked. Do not use mechanical equipment or other means not recommended by the manufacturer to speed up the defrosting process.
• If the unit is not used again for a long time, the water pump may not be able to pump sufficient water due to air in the water supply line. If this is the case, the symbol for insufficient water is also displayed. To correct this, press the start button. The appliance will then function as usual.
• To ensure the purity of the ice cubes, the water should be changed every 24 hours.
• If the appliance does not work due to water shortage, too much ice, no electricity, etc., Turn the appliance off, wait for three minutes and then restart the appliance.
• Always use fresh water to make ice cubes. This applies to the initial installation as well as if you use the appliance again after a long time.
• This appliance is designed for household use only. The appliance is not designed for outdoor use. However, if it is to be used outdoors, make sure that the viewing window is closed.
