MODEL ICM15

Operating Instructions

1.Open the lid and fill the water storage tank with drinkable (tap, purified or bottled) water. Make sure that the water level is not over the bottom of the ice collecting basket. The unit usually makes frosted ice cubes. For clear ice:

(a)use water containing little or no minerals such as distilled, reverse osmosis or other very pure water; and (b) add a pinch of salt to the water so that the water is detected by the sensor. This amount of salt will not affect the taste of the ice.

2.Plug the unit into a grounded outlet panel. Push the “start” button on control panel to start the machine. Press the “Select” button to select the desired cube size. The first 3 minutes after starting is used by the machine for self- inspection. After that, normal ice making cycle begins.

3.The ice cube making procedures are as follows:

a)Water is pumped into the water box from the water storage tank, which may take up to 40 seconds.

b)The ice cube making cycle begins when the evaporator rods are dipped into the water box to start making ice.

c)It will take approximately 6 to 10 minutes for the ice making cycle depending upon the cube size selected. After the cycle is finished, the water box will tilt forward and the remaining water will flow back to the water storage tank through the water leakage grooves and the evaporator rods release the ice cubes.

d)Approximately 30 seconds later, the water box will tilt backward and the ice pusher will push the ice into the ice storage basket. After the waterbox flips back to its level position, the next ice making cycle will begin.

4.Check the water level during the water filling procedure. If there is no water from the pump, the icemaker will know that there is no water in the water box and it will stop operation. The Water Low indicator light will illuminate. Fill the water storage tank with water and press the stop button, then press the start button after the Water Low indicator light goes out. The ice maker will start to make ice again.

5.When the maximum capacity of the ice cubes are collected the ice will touch the temperature sensor, the ice maker will stop operating and the Ice Full light will illuminate. When the ice is below the sensor and the temperature of the sensor rises to about 50ºF (10ºC) the icemaker will restart itself.

6.If the ice full indicator light and water low indicator light are both on at the same time, please check and remove any ice cubes blocking the water box. If there is no ice blocking, please turn the water box slightly by hand. 3-5 minutes later, restart the machine. If there is no ice blocking and there is no change after turning the box slightly, the ice maker may need repair. Please contact WindChaser Customer Service (see warranty section).

7.There are three sizes of ice cubes available. The larger the ice cube size selected, the more time is needed to make ice. When the ambient temperature is low (lower than 59º F) the small or medium ice cubes are suggested to prevent cubes from fusing together.

8.When removing ice cubes and reinstalling the basket, push the basket downward to its original position to ensure the temperature sensor is above the basket so as to ensure that the machine operates properly.

9.If the compressor stops for any reason such as water shortage, too much ice, power off, etc., don’t restart it right away. Please wait at least 3 minutes before restarting the machine.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

1.To ensure the cleanliness of the ice cubes, the water in the water storage tank must be replaced every 24 hours.

2.The strainer (located at the bottom right of the water storage tank) needs

to be cleaned regularly so that impurities in the water do not go into the water pump and affect the normal operation of the machine. The strainer may be cleaned with a small, flexible bottle brush.

3.Unscrew the drainage plug to drain the remaining water in the tank when the ice maker will not be used for an extended period of time.

4.Please clean the ice maker regularly. When cleaning, disconnect the power and remove the ice cubes. Use a mild cleaning detergent diluted in water with a soft towel or sponge to clean the inside and outside surface of the unit. Do not spray any liquids on the unit.

Avoid using strong cleaning solutions to clean the unit such as acids and gasoline.

5.When plugging or unplugging the unit, pull on the plug head and not the wire.

6.If the power cord is damaged, please contact WindChaser Customer Service. (See Warranty)
