4. To ensure the cleanness of ice, please change water for the water reservoir at least once one day. If do not use it for a long time, please drain the water out and clean it up.
5. If the compressor takes a strike action for shortage water, full water, or interruption of power supply, it will delay for 3mins to start up after restarting.
6.  Always use fresh water before starting ice production either at initial installation or after a long shut-off period.

Troubleshooting:

• Please note, if a power failure occurs due to disconnection of the power cord, or the power button has been pushed off during an ice-making cycle, small ice chips may form and lodge in the automatic shovel causing it to jam. If this occurs, the ice chips may be removed by disconnecting the power cord and gently pushing the shovel to the rear of the cabinet and removing the ice chips, then restarting.
• Please check if the water reservoir is flat when the ice shovel can not remove the ice from the ice basket. If not, please push the ice shovel gently by finger, then press the POWER button to restart.

WARNING

1. If the power cord is damaged; it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
2. Fill with potable water only.
3. It is normal for the compressor and condenser surface to reach temperatures between 70°C and 90°C during operation and surrounding areas may be very hot.
4. Due to fast freezing, ice cubes may appear “Cloudy”. This is air trapped in the water and will not affect the quality or taste of ice.
5. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
