Operation
STARTUP AND OPERATION
1. Before you start up the machine, please check and confirm:
• That the packaging tape inside the ice machine has been removed.
• The accessories or items in the ice bin have been taken out.
• The ice machine has been adjusted to a leveled state.
• The water pipe has been connected and the water valve is open.
• The plug has been connected to the power supply and the power switch is off.
• The ambient temperature, water temperature, and pressure of the water supply meet the above
requirements.
2. Start up: turn on the power switch. After power-on, the machine begins to make ice automatically.
3. For normal operation, please confirm:
• There is water in the water trough and no overflow occurs.
• The pump is working properly and water is flowing evenly on the evaporator.
• The compressor is running normally, the temperature of the evaporator and the ice making water is
gradually decreasing.
• For air cooled machine, check the fan is running normally, and there is stable air flow in the inlet and
outlet of the ice machine.
• The ice machine has no abnormal noise.
• The ice machine has no abnormal vibration.
• It takes about 10 to 20 minutes to make one batch ice, depending on the ambient temperature and the
temperature of the water. The higher the temperature is, the longer the ice making will take.
• Ice cube can be properly defrosted from the machine.
OPERATION INSTRUCTION
• Startup: after proper installation, connect the water source and turn on the power supply, the machine will
start working. Please confirm that the machine is operating normally when you turn it on for the first time.
Note: in case of thunderstorm or not in use for a long time, please disconnect the power and water
source!
• Self-check: with power on for the first time, the ice maker will do self-check and pump out remaining water.
• Preparing: after the ice machine is energized, the inlet valve opens and water will come inside the machine
until it reaches high level.
• Ice making: after pre-cooling for 30 seconds, the water pump starts, the water flows through the evaporator
smoothly and evenly, the ice cubes are gradually formed in the ice cube tray.
• Ice Harvest (Drop): after the ice making process, the water pump is turned off, the defrost valve is turned
on, allowing the hot gas to enter the evaporator for about 1-2 minutes, the ice cubes slides from the
evaporator into the ice bin.
Warning: do not put your hand into the ice bin during the harvest process, to prevent the ice to hit
your hand!
• Shutdown: the ice maker will stop working when you click the “on/off” button on the panel during running
process.
• Bin full stop: in the running state, with the ice bin filled to a certain height, the ice sliding board cannot be
rebounded or reset because of the block of the freshly produced ice cubes, the ice maker will stop in 40
seconds.
