Frequently Asked Questions - MRICE15SS MORPHY RICHARDS

How do I start the ice maker for the first time?

Place the ice maker on a level, dry surface with 15 cm clearance. Wait 2 hours after positioning if moved. Fill the water reservoir with potable water below the MAX line. Close the lid, select ice size (small or large) using the Ice Size Selector button, then press the Start/Stop button. The Ice Making In Progress indicator will light solidly.

How long does it take to make ice?

Each ice making cycle lasts approximately 7 to 15 minutes, depending on ambient and water temperature. The ice maker produces up to 15 kg of ice in 24 hours.

What should I do when the 'Out Of Water' indicator lights up?

The ice maker will stop automatically. Remove the ice basket, add potable water to the water reservoir (not above MAX), replace the basket, and press the Start/Stop button to resume ice making.

How does the 'Ice Basket Full' indicator work?

When the ice basket is full, the 'Ice Basket Is Full' indicator lights up and the unit stops. Gently remove ice with the scoop. After about 5 seconds, the ice maker automatically restarts ice making.

Can I select the size of the ice cubes?

Yes. Press the Ice Size Selector button to choose between small (indicator 'b') or large ('a') ice cubes. The selection affects the freezing time slightly.

How should I clean the ice maker?

Press Start/Stop to stop the cycle, wait 5 minutes, unplug, and drain water via the drain plug. Fill with clean water, press the Ice Size Selector until the Clean indicator flashes, then press Start/Stop for a 6-minute cycle. Drain again. Wipe interior with warm water and vinegar, rinse. Wash ice basket and scoop in warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly.

What type of water should I use?

Use potable water only. Do not use water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality. Recommended water temperature is between 8°C and 25°C. Do not fill with hot water.

What does the 'Clean' indicator do?

The Clean button initiates a self-cleaning pump cycle. After pressing it (when flashing), the pump runs water for approximately 6 minutes to flush the system. Use it after manually cleaning the reservoir.

Why is my ice maker not producing ice?

Possible causes: low water level, blocked water screen, or pump malfunction. Check water level and refill if needed. Clean the water screen at the bottom of the reservoir. If the problem persists, contact Customer Care. Also ensure the ambient temperature is below 32°C and water temperature is not too high.

Can I use an extension cord with the ice maker?

It is recommended to avoid extension cords as they may overheat. If necessary, use a grounded extension cord with a rating equal to or greater than the appliance (145 W). Ensure the cord is not damaged or trapped.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before first use, please take a few minutes to read this instruction book and find a place to keep it handy for future reference. Please pay particular attention to the safety instructions.

1. Unpack the appliance, then check and make sure that all the accessories including ice basket and ice scoop etc. are included.
2. Please ensure the ice maker is level and stable 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 a 15cm clearance on all sides of the ice maker for proper ventilation.

5. Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water, as this may damage the ice maker. It is recommended to fill the reservoir with room temperature water or cooler.

6. Ensure the drain tube plug at the bottom of water reservoir is closed.

7. Plug the ice maker into the wall outlet. The Ice Making In Progress indicator (f) will blink.

NOTE: The ice maker should not be turned on for 30 minutes, if it has been moved.

1. Open the lid (refer to the diagram on page 7) and remove the ice basket.

2. Do not fill above the MAX water level mark.

3. Replace the ice basket and close the lid.

4. Press the Ice Size Selector button (e) to select the ice size, (b) for small ice and (a) for larger sized ice.

5. Press the Start/Stop button (d) and the Ice making In Progress indicator lights solidly.

6. The ice making cycle will last approximately 7-15 minutes, depending on the ambient and water temperature.

7. 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 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 export. The ice tray will automatically move back into position under the evaporator and start the next cycle.

8. The Ice Basket Is Full indicator (h) will light up when the ice basket is full and the ice maker will stop automatically. Gently remove the ice from the ice basket with the ice scoop. After approximately 5 seconds, the ice maker will restart the ice making function automatically.

9. The Out Of Water indicator (g) will light up when the water reservoir is empty and the ice making cycle will stop automatically. Remove the ice basket and add water to the water reservoir. Press the Start/Stop button (d) to restart the ice making cycle.

10. Once the desired amount of ice has been dispensed, press the Start/Stop button (d) and unplug the unit from the wall outlet.

11. Open the lid and transfer the ice to a freezer.

NOTE: The ice will last in the ice maker for up to an 18 hour period, depending on the ambient temperature.

USING YOUR ICE MAKER

1. Allow the ice maker to warm up to room temperature.
2. It is recommended to replace the water weekly. Please empty the water reservoir, if the ice maker is not used for a long time.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

To keep your ice tasting fresh and your ice maker looking in great condition, it is recommended to clean the ice maker at least once per week.

1. Stop the ice making cycle by pressing the Start/Stop button (d). Wait five minutes and unplug.
2. If residual water is found in the ice tray, gently push the ice tray back so that all water drains into the water reservoir.
3. Move the appliance forward 55-60mm away from the working table and remove the drain tube plug to drain excess water (see Fig.1, Fig.2 and Fig.3).
4. Check and make sure the drain tube plug is closed securely. Fill the water reservoir with clean water, press the Ice Size Selector button (e) until the Appliance Needs Cleaning indicator (c) flashes. Press the Start/Stop button (d) and the pump will run water for approximately 6 minutes. The Ice maker will go into standby mode after running for 6 minutes. Finally, remove the drain tube plug and empty the water out.
5. Remove the ice basket.
6. Clean the ice maker interior with a soft cloth soaked with warm water and vinegar. Then rinse with clean water and drain any remaining water.
7. Replace the drain tube plug securely in position. Wash the ice basket and ice scoop in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.
8. Clean the exterior of the ice maker with a soft damp cloth. Use a mild dishwashing detergent, if necessary.

NOTE: Do not use organic solvent, boiled water, detergent, strong acid and strong alkali etc. for cleaning.

Please empty the water reservoir and dry it for storage if the ice maker is not used for a long time.
