Unpacking the Ice Maker Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue from your ice maker before using.
OPERATION Discard the first batch of ice produced by the portable ice maker. Direct sunlight may cause the ice full infrared sensor to malfunction. If the unit continues to produce ice even though the basket is full, you may need to move the unit away from the sunlight Before using your ice maker, it is strongly recommended to clean it thoroughly. Read and follow the Cleaning and Maintenance section of the manual before proceeding. Follow the steps below to start using your ice maker. 1.
How the Portable Ice Maker Produces Ice After the unit is powered on, the ice maker begins with rotating the ice case into a horizontal water fill position under the evaporator rods. The water pump is engaged and fills the ice case with water. Water overflows for a few seconds before the compressor turns on. The compressor then pumps refrigerant and the fan will turn on automatically after the condenser heats up. The unit will be producing bullet shaped ice around the stainless steel evaporator rods.
Draining the unit This unit operates in a gravity drain system which clears excess water from the ice maker to ensure a continuous supply of ice. A water drain hose is provided with this unit. Firmly attach the drain hose to the drain outlet. Please note that the outlet of drain hose should be lower than ice maker so the water can flow out easily. Normal Sounds Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The ice maker must be thoroughly cleaned if it has been left unused for a long time DO NOT turn the ice machine upside down to dry! This will cause the oils from the compressor to shift, which can result in the machine breaking or becoming inoperable. Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. Never use a solvent-based cleaning agent. These cleaners may transmit taste to the ice cubes, or damage and discolor the interior.
