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).

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)
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.
