2. Operation

a) Ice Making Cycle

The ice making cycle has 5 steps:

1. Pumping water from the water tank up to the water tray.

2. Operating the refrigeration system to create the ice cubes.

3. Emptying the excess water from the water tray.

4. Releasing the ice cubes into the ice container.

5. Returning the water tray to its upright position.

This cycle continues until the ice container is full of ice cubes or there is insufficient water in

the water tank.

b) Control Panel

‘START’ and ‘STOP’ buttons:

When the power is connected, the unit will go into standby mode. (One of the ice size

indicators will be flashing). When the ‘START’ button is pressed the selected ice size

indicator will remain on and the ice making cycle begins. When the ‘STOP’ button is pressed

the ice making cycle will stop. The water tray will empty the water back into the water tank

and any ice cubes will be released into the ice container, before the unit goes back into

standby mode.

‘ICE SIZE’ button:

Press this button to select the required size of ice cubes. (The default size is small) The ice

size indicator will cycle between small-medium-large and back to small, each time the button

is pressed.

Note: If the Ice Maker is operated in a cool ambient, it is recommended that ‘Small’ ice

cubes are selected.

Large Size Indicator (green): When this light is on, it indicates that the unit is making

large ice cubes and the cycle time will be the longest.

Medium Size Indicator (green): When this light is on, it indicates that the unit is

making medium size ice cubes.

Small Size Indicator (green): When this light is on, it indicates that the unit is making

small ice cubes and the cycle time will be the shortest.

Ice Full Indicator (red): When the Ice Container is full of ice cubes, the indicator will

turn red. The ice making cycle will stop after the next batch of ice cubes have been released

into the container. The unit will then go into standby mode. Remove the ice cubes before

pressing the 'STOP' and then 'START' buttons to restart the ice making cycle.

Low Water Indicator (red): The Ice Maker will automatically check the water level in

the Water Tank. If the water level is too low, the red light will come on and the ice making

cycle will stop. When water is added to the Water Tank, the ‘Low Water Indicator’ will go off

and the unit will automatically restart.

c) Moving the Unit

When unpacking or moving the Ice Maker, please note that the unit should not be tilted over

45°. Keep the appliance upright at all times. There are ‘handles’ at the rear edges of the

casing which should be used when moving the Ice Maker. (See picture C)
