Why do ice cubes stick together in my Chard HZB-22/BF?
If ice cubes stick together in your Chard Ice Maker, the issue might be: 1. The ice cycle is too long. Stop the ice maker and restart it after the ice melts. Then, select the small ice button. 2. The water temperature in the inner tank is too low. Change the water in the inner tank, ensuring the water temperature is between 45°F and 90°F.
What to do if the “Ice” indicator is on in my Chard HZB-22/BF Ice Maker?
If the “Ice” indicator is illuminated on your Chard Ice Maker, it signifies that the ice basket is full. To resolve this, simply pull out the ice basket and empty its contents.
Why is my Chard HZB-22/BF making cycle normal but no ice is made?
If your Chard Ice Maker is running a normal cycle but not producing ice, it could be due to several reasons: * The ambient or water temperature in the inner tank might be too high. Ensure the ice maker operates below 90°F and use colder water in the tank. * There could be a refrigerant liquid leakage, or a blocked pipe in the cooling system. In these cases, you should contact a qualified technician to verify.
How to fix “Water” indicator on Chard HZB-22/BF?
If the “Water” indicator is illuminated on your Chard Ice Maker, it means that the appliance is experiencing a lack of water. To fix this, stop the ice maker, replace the empty bottle with a new bottle full of water, and then restart the appliance.

This document provides a user manual for a portable ice maker, models HZB-15/BF and HZB-22/BF, designed to produce ice cubes and, for the HZB-15/BF model, dispense cold water. The manual emphasizes safety, proper setup, operation, and maintenance to ensure efficient and safe use of the appliance.
The ice maker's primary function is to produce ice cubes from bottled water. It features a "SMART CORE" for the water bottle, allowing users to easily install two, three, or five-gallon water bottles with pierceable sealed caps. The unit is designed for indoor use and should be placed on a level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. For the HZB-15/BF model, an additional feature is the ability to dispense cold water, which becomes available after the ice-making process has been running for at least half an hour.
The ice maker operates through an intuitive control panel. Users can select the desired ice cube size (small, medium, or large) using the "SELECT" button. The ice-making cycle typically lasts between 6 to 12 minutes, depending on the selected size. An "ICE-FULL" indicator light illuminates when the ice basket is full, signaling the unit to automatically stop ice production. Similarly, an "ADD WATER" indicator light will turn on if the water pump cannot inject water, prompting the user to check and replace the water bottle. The unit also includes a "POWER" button to start or stop the ice-making cycle.
For the cold water dispensing function (HZB-15/BF model only), there is a dedicated button to pop up the cold water faucet. Once the faucet is extended, users can press the "WATER" dispensing button on the operation panel to fill their cup with cold water.
Before initial use, it is crucial to unpack the ice maker and allow the refrigerant fluid to settle for at least one hour before plugging it in. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible, and the drain plug on the back should be tightly fastened before placing a water bottle on the unit.
To operate, users first select the ice cube size. If the room temperature is below 60°F, selecting small or medium ice cubes is recommended to prevent them from sticking together. After selecting the size, pressing the "POWER" button initiates the ice-making cycle. The unit will automatically pause when the ice basket is full, indicated by the "ICE" light. If the "ADD WATER" light comes on, it means the water bottle needs to be checked or replaced. After replacing the bottle, the "POWER" button must be pressed again to restart the unit. It is important to allow at least 3 minutes for the refrigerant liquid inside the compressor to settle before restarting the unit after it has stopped.
For cold water dispensing, the HZB-15/BF model requires the ice-making function to have been active for over half an hour to ensure cold water is available. Users simply press the designated button to extend the cold water faucet, then press the "WATER" dispensing button to fill their cup.
The ice maker is designed to be user-friendly with clear indicator lights for "ICE-FULL" and "ADD WATER," making it easy to monitor its status. The ability to choose different ice cube sizes adds to its versatility, catering to various preferences and needs.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for the longevity and proper functioning of the ice maker. Before cleaning, the unit should be unplugged. The interior, including the ice basket, should be cleaned with a diluted detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth. After cleaning, the inside parts should be rinsed with water, and the water should be drained by unplugging the drain cap on the side of the unit. The exterior of the ice maker can be cleaned with a mild detergent solution and warm water, followed by drying with a soft cloth.
When the ice maker is not in use, it is recommended to open the water drain cap to completely empty the water reservoir. This helps prevent stagnant water and potential buildup. The manual also advises against using flammable fluids for cleaning, as their fumes can pose a fire or explosion hazard.
The device is designed to be grounded for safety, and users are cautioned against modifying the power cord or using an extension cord unless it meets specific safety requirements (No.14 AWG minimum size, rated no less than 1875 watts). In case of any issues or repairs, the manual stresses the importance of consulting a qualified technician, especially concerning the refrigerant system, to minimize risks associated with flammable refrigerants. The unit should not be defrosted using mechanical devices, nor should the refrigerant tubing be punctured. All safety precautions outlined in the manual, including those related to the handling of flammable refrigerants, must be strictly followed.
