● Since the product uses water, a proper water supply and draining facility is required.
● Water may leak during installation or operation for many reasons, and so proper drainage must
be installed.This unit requires a floor drain.
Since there is danger of electric shock due to moisture from a leak, be sure to observe the following:
1. Be sure to have a natural drainage facility(floor drain) and make the floor waterproof,
especially if the floor can get damaged due to a leak.
2. A floor drain must be available at the installation site; be sure to connect the drain hose.
3. Make sure that the floor is sloped so that any leaked water gets drained away even if the drain
hose gets dislodged or damaged. Install a water overflow prevention wall to prevent damage.

◆ When the drain switch is in the “ON” position, it will take longer to
make ice, reducing the amount of ice made per hour.
If you don't want to reduce the amount of ice, then switch the drain
to the “OFF” position. This may cause a slight deterioration in the ice
quality.
How to use the drain switch
To have transparent ice or to reduce
scale in the water trough, turn the switch
to the "ON" position.
If you keep the drain switch in the
“ON” position,the unit will drain the
remaining part of the water in the ice
machine by flushing with clean water.

Refer to this detailed sanitizing procedure and clean the machine at least once a month.
1.Set the main switch to the OFF position after ice falls from the evaporator at
the end of a harvest cycle. Or, set the main switch to the OFF position and
allow ice to melt off the evaporator.
※ CAUTION:Do not use sharp objects to remove the ice from the
evaporator. Damage may result.
2. Remove all water and ice from the bin and water trough.
3. Open the front panel (by loosening two screws) and close the water supply.
4. Mix 18L (4.76 gallon) of water and 4L (1.06 gallon) of sanitizer.
※ Note: If the bin requires sanitizing, use 2.6gal of the mixed sanitizer (2.1gal water & 1/2
gal sanitizer).
5. To start a sanitizing cycle, move the main switch to the WASH position after filling the
water trough with the mixed sanitizer.
6. Run the sanitizing cycle for 20 minutes.
7. After twenty minutes, move the main switch to the OFF position.
8. Use a brush when cleaning the evaporator, evaporator frames, the bin,
and the inside areas that contact water.
(Use 1/2 gal of the mixed sanitizer.)
9. R
emove the water curtain from the machine and clean
with a brush. (Refer to the upper drawing.)
(When disassembling the water curtain,remove the hinges on the right and the left.
10. Once sanitizing is complete, empty the bin and the water trough.
11. After emptying the bin and the water trough, open the water
supply and move the main switch to the WASH position
and start sanitizing again. (First round sanitizing)
12. Run the sanitizing cycle for 20 minutes.
13. After twenty minutes, move the main switch to the OFF position.
14. Once sanitizing is complete, empty the bin and the water trough and
move the main switch to the WASH position and start sanitizing again.(Second
round sanitizing)
15. Run the sanitizing cycle for 20 minutes.
16. After twenty minutes, move the main switch to the OFF position.
17. Empty the bin and the water trough and pour water into
the water trough.
18. The sanitizing is complete. Move the main switch to ICE and start
using the machine.
19. Finally, tighten the screws at the top and the bottom areas of
the front panel.
