ICE MAKER
PRODUCT USE GUIDE
DBJ-32A
Please read this instruction
carefully before use.
Damage caused by
improper operation is not
covered by the warranty.
Please Note
After opening the box, please do not use it
immediately. Let the ice machine stand upright
for 24 hours first.
This is because the ice machine has experienced a long time of shipping. This
will cause uneven distribution of refrigerant in the compressor. If you use it
immediately after receiving it, it may cause damage to the compressor, and
we will not bear this compensation.

PRECAUTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION
CORRECT OPERATION
When using the ice maker for the first time or using it continuously, please follow
below rules!
Use an independent water source for the ice maker, and check regularly to prevent low
water pressure or pipe blocked.
Do not store anything in the ice bin, this will make the ice machine difficult to clean or
the pipes blocked.
When using the plastic door of the ice bin, open and close it gently, and do not hit the
door, and please also close the door after take out the ice.
The ice maker should be kept away from heat sources, strictly forbidden to use it in
super high or super low temperature environment. Away from direct sunlight to avoid
affecting the heat dissipation of the unit.
The ice machine is not waterproof, so please don't wash it directly with a lot of water.
You can use wet or dry rags.
If you will not use this ice maker for a long time, it should be powered on for 4-6 hours
every 2 months to prevent damage.
Avoid sunlight and rain Good ventilation Placement should be stable

TROUBLESHOOTING
Fault indication:
Ice full indicator flashes quickly: The ambient temperature detector is faulty, try to
restart ice maker. If unable to solve, please contact the seller.
Ice full indicator and water shortage indicator flash alternately: the open and
closed signals of the ice full switch cannot be detected for 3 consecutive times, the
machine stops working and reports a mechanical failure.
FAULT SELF-DIAGNOSIS
1. Water pump —— You can directly observe whether the water flows down from the top
of the ice tray. If not, the water pump may dameged.
2. Ice making —— After the ice-making last running for 10 minutes, the water in the
insede water tank will be cold. You can touch the ice tray or the running water to feel the
water temperature. If it is not cold, the compressor may be damaged.
3. If you use tap water inlet mode to make ice and find that the water overflows from the
inside water tank. Please check whether the water pressure in your house exceeds the
specified range. If it is confirmed that the problem is water pressure, you need a pressure
reducing valve to reduce the water pressure.
