Configuració i instal·lació

Proper setup is crucial for the optimal performance of your ice maker. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Desembalatge i col·locació

  • Traieu tots els materials d'embalatge.
  • Place the ice maker on a firm, level surface.
  • Ensure there is at least 5 inches of clearance around the unit for proper ventilation.
  • Deixeu que la unitat estigui en posició vertical durant 24 hores abans d'endollar-la.

2. Connexió d'aigua

Your ice maker supports two water inlet modes: bucket water supply or direct tap water supply. Both methods require a drain hose connection.

Connexió de la mànega de drenatge

Regardless of the water inlet method chosen, the drain hose must be connected to manage melted ice water. The ice maker uses gravity drainage, so ensure the drain hose is positioned below the drain outlet of the machine and leads to a suitable container or floor drain.

Diagram showing two water inlet modes: bucket water supply and tap water supply, with a note about gravity drainage.
Figure 3: Two water inlet modes: bucket water supply and tap water supply.

Option A: Bucket Water Supply

  • Open the top cover of the ice maker.
  • Locate the blue valve inside the water tank. Ensure the handle of the blue valve is perpendicular to the black door (this sets it to bucket water intake mode).
  • Place a water bucket (e.g., a 5-gallon water jug) onto the designated area on top of the ice maker.

Figure 4: Ice maker set up for bucket water supply.

Option B: Tap Water Supply

  • Open the top cover of the ice maker.
  • Locate the blue valve inside the water tank. Ensure the handle of the blue valve is parallel to the black door (this sets it to tap water intake mode).
  • Connect the provided water supply hose to the 'Water Inlet' port at the back of the machine. Secure it with the blue buckle.
  • Connect the other end of the water supply hose to your tap water source. Use sealing tape to ensure a tight, leak-free connection.

3. Procés de fabricació de gel

  • Once pre-cooling is complete, the ice maker will automatically begin producing ice.
  • Each cycle produces 32 clear ice cubes within 11-20 minutes.
  • The 'Ice Full' indicator light will illuminate when the ice bin is full, and the machine will automatically stop ice production.

4. Harvesting Ice Cubes

  • When ice cubes fall into the bin, they may stick together, especially if a thicker setting is used.
  • Use the provided ice shovel to separate the ice cubes. This also allows the ice bin to hold more ice.
