CONNECTING YOUR ICE MAKER
Under sink water supply
1. Plug in the Ice Maker. The ON/OFF symbol (4) will flash in the display window. Press the “ON/OFF” button on the
control panel. The Ice Maker will start to make ice cubes when the water reaches the standard level on the water
tank through the electromagnetic water valve. The symbol will change to a solid light and the Ice cube symbol
(2) will start rotating. The ambient temperature will be displayed in the upper left (1) of the display: “80F” means
the ambient temperature is 80°F. A few minutes later, a number flashes in the same area: “10M,” which means the
remaining ice making time for the current cycle is 10 minutes.
2. When each ice making cycle is completed, it will enter the ice collecting process, and the Ice cube symbol (2) will
flash. The hose will add water to the water tank through the electromagnetic valve, and the arrow on the Water
inflow symbol (6) will flash until the water reaches the standard level. When the Water inflow symbol (6) light is off,
it means the Ice Maker is ready for the ice making cycle. In the case of a water shortage, the Ice Maker needs to
be restarted. Otherwise, it will start up automatically after 15 minutes.
NOTE: Each ice making cycle takes about 11-20 minutes based on the ambient and water temperature. The first ice
making cycle will be longer because of the high water temperature in the water tank. However, it will last for less than
30 minutes.
3. To adjust the ice thickness, press the “+” or “-” button on the control panel. The number at the bottom left of the
display shows the time setting of the ice making with the default “0”. Press the “+” button once to add one minute
at a time, and the ice cubes will be thicker. Press the “-” button once to reduce one minute at a time, and the ice
cubes will be thinner.
NOTE: The adjustment only affects the next and subsequent ice making cycles.
4. When the Ice full alarm (7) lights up, the appliance stops working. It will work again after you take out the ice.
5. To turn off the appliance during the ice making process, press the “ON/OFF” button on the control panel to enter
the standby mode. If you press and hold “ON/OFF” for more than 5 seconds during ice making, the appliance
enters into the ice collecting process.
6. The timer setting range is between 1 to 24 hours. When the appliance is running, you can set up the time to
turn it off. When the appliance is on standby, you can set up the time to turn it on. To set up the timing, press the
“TIMER” button. The default time displays “1H” (H meaning hour). Press the “+” or “-” buttons to adjust to the time
that you desire. During the process of time adjustment, the “H” in the lower corner (8) will flash. After 5 seconds
without any movement, the "H" light will change from flashing to solid, meaning the timer setting has been
completed. In standby mode where “5H” is displayed, it means the appliance will start working automatically
after 5 hours. During the ice making process where “5H” is displayed, it means the appliance will turn off
automatically after 5 hours. The “H” indicates that the appliance currently has a timer setting on. The number
before “H” indicates the time countdown. When it reaches zero, the appliance enters into the mode you preset.
Press the “TIMER” button to cancel the timer setting during the countdown.
