Frequently Asked Questions - PICEM75 Nutrichef

How do I start making ice?

Plug in the machine, open the water reservoir door, add water (bottled or tap), then press the ON/OFF button. The unit will begin the ice-making cycle automatically.

What type of water should I use?

Use bottled or good quality tap water. Pure water (distilled or reverse osmosis) is not recommended, as it may affect ice production. Do not use juice or other liquids.

How do I select the ice size?

Press the SMALL or LARGE button on the control panel to choose your preferred ice cube size. The display will show 'S' for small or 'L' for large.

How do I dispense ice?

Place your cup under the ice dispenser shoot, then press the ice cube dispenser puncher button. The indicator will light up and ice will drop. If ice is stuck, break it up with the included scoop.

How do I dispense water?

Press the WATER button on the control panel. Make sure your cup is placed under the water outlet to avoid splashing.

What does the water shortage indicator mean?

The indicator lights up when the water reservoir is empty or the pump has trapped air. Fill the reservoir with water, wait 3 minutes, and press ON/OFF to restart. If air is trapped, open the drain cap briefly to release air.

How do I clean the ice maker?

Unplug the unit and remove all ice. Wipe the interior with a diluted solution of water and vinegar. Rinse thoroughly. Do not use chemicals, acids, gasoline, or oil. Clean the inner liner, ice tray, and evaporator regularly.

What should I do if the ice jams in the dispenser?

If ice sticks together, use the included ice scoop to break up the ice. Then press the dispenser button again. To prevent jams, do not store ice in the unit for too long.

Can I connect the ice maker directly to a water line?

Yes, you can connect the unit to a water faucet using the provided inlet. See the manual for connection instructions. Manual filling is also an option.

What should I do if the ice maker stops making ice?

Check if the water reservoir is full and the ice full indicator is not lit. If the compressor is off, wait 3 minutes before restarting. If the problem persists, call for service – the refrigerant may be leaking.

Sketch AAdd Water Manually	Sketch BConnect the Unit to a Water Faucet
Add water manually

If the unit is on, and you see the

indicator, then you need to add water to the water reservoir.

Step 3: Press the ON/OFF button to start the machine.

Step 4: Water will be pumped into the water tray from the water reservoir automatically, this takes about 30 seconds.

Note: If no water is pumped into the water tray for over two cycles, and there is enough water in the reservoir. Then you need to open the drain cap, and let several drops of water run out, then replace the cap and press the ON/OFF button again to restart the unit.

Step 5: Select the SMALL or LARGE button to choose the ice size you want.

Step 6: The ice making cycle begins, and the ice will be frozen onto the evaporator fingers.

Note: The ice making time depends on the ambient room temperature.

Step 7: Once the ice making cycle is finished, the water tray will tilt forward and the remaining water will flow back into the water reservoir, and then the ice cubes will drop from the fingers.

Step 8 In about 15-35 seconds, the water tray will tilt backward and the ice produced in the previous cycle will be pushed to the ice reservoir directly. Then the unit will repeat steps 4 to 6 again until the ice tray is full or there is no water remaining in the water reservoir.

Step 9: Push the ice cube dispenser puncher button (sketch 6) to dispense ice, the indicator will turn on.

Note: Please put your cup below the ice cube dispenser shoot directly.

Notice: If the ice is stored in the unit for a long time, the ice may freeze and stick together, which can prevent any ice from dispensing even if the ice tray is full. If this happens, break up the ice with the included ice scoop and then try again.

Step 10: Press the ON/OFF button to stop the unit

Step 11: When you push the WATER button, water will dispense from the water outlet.

Note: Please make sure your cup is below the water outlet, or water will be splashed everywhere

CARING

1. Clean the inner liner, ice collecting tray, water box, ice shovel and evaporator frequently. 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.
2. Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure and the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
3. If the icemaker is reused after a long time, the water pump may not pump sufficient water due to an air block, the deficient water indicator turns on in this case. To correct this press the START button again, then the icemaker will work normally.
4. To ensure the cleanliness of the ice cubes, water in the water reservoir should be replaced every 24 hours.
5. If the compressor stops for any reason such as water shortage, too much ice, power off, etc... Do not start the system right away, wait 3 minutes, and then re-start the ice maker.
6. Always use fresh water before starting ice production either at initial installation or after a long shut-off period.
7. This unit is for home use only, not for outdoor use, if it is necessary for use outside, please make sure the view window is closed.

SAFETY NOTICE

In order to avoid any accidents, please refer to the following:

1. Disconnect power before servicing.
2. Do not pull directly on the wire when plugging or unplugging the unit.

4. It is normal for the compressor and condenser surface to reach temperatures between 158°F and 194°F during operation and surrounding areas may be hot. Please don't touch it.

5. Due to fast freezing, ice cubes may appear "Cloudy". This is trapped air in the water and it will not affect quality or taste of ice.

6. When out of use, please open the drawer at least 2cm to allow for air circulation and avoid any metallic components becoming rusted.

7. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

14. WARNING: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Please note, if a power failure occurs due to disconnection of the power cord, or the off power button has been pushed off during an ice making cycle, then 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 disconnecting the power cord and gently pushing the shovel to the rear of the cabinet to remove the ice chips, then restarting.

2. Please restart the ice maker by pressing Stop and then Start. If the Ice shovel does not push the Ice into the Ice collector after the formed Ice drops from the evaporator finger, then check to see if the water tray is horizontal or balanced. If not then adjust by pressing the Ice shovel lightly with your finger. Then re-start the Ice maker.
