Function Description

The Oraimo OIM-812A is an automatic ice maker designed for household use. Its primary function is to produce nugget ice efficiently. The device features a control panel and display for easy operation and monitoring of its status. Key indicators include "Ice Full," "Add Water," and "Defrosting," which provide real-time feedback on the ice maker's operational state. The "Ice Full" indicator illuminates when the ice bin is full, prompting the user to remove ice. The "Add Water" indicator signals when the water tank is low, requiring a refill. The "Defrosting" indicator activates during the automatic defrosting cycle, which typically lasts between 30 to 45 minutes, during which other buttons are unresponsive. The ice maker is equipped with an ice full sensor and a water level detector to ensure optimal performance and prevent issues like overflow or running dry. It also includes a water filter to improve ice quality and prolong the device's service life. The front door features a transparent window, allowing users to visually monitor the ice production process.

Usage Features

The ice maker offers several user-friendly features for operation and convenience. Getting Started: Before initial use, it is crucial to set the ice maker upright on a flat, level surface for at least 2 hours to allow the refrigerant fluid to settle, especially if it was tilted or placed upside down during transportation. The device requires at least 6 inches of clearance on the sides and back for proper ventilation. Manual Water Addition: Users can manually fill the water tank by opening the front door, pulling out the ice bin, and pouring potable water below the MAX line. Distilled or demineralized water with a hardness of less than 12 grains per gallon and a temperature between 40-82°F is recommended for best results. Automatic Refilling: For continuous ice production, the ice maker can be connected to a water supply system using the included hose. An adapter (not included) may be necessary depending on the water supply system type. It is important not to add water manually when the device is already connected to the water supply to prevent overflow. Connecting to a water filtration system is recommended to avoid blockages from scale or mineral buildup. Control Buttons:

• ON/Standby: A single press starts the ice making cycle or turns the unit off into standby mode. The indicator remains solid during ice making.
• Preset/Current Time Setting: This button allows users to set the current time or two preset times for ice making. Pressing it cycles through Current, Preset 1, and Preset 2 settings. The time can be adjusted using the time adjustment button within 5 seconds of the time flashing. Preset times determine when the ice making cycle begins. Holding the button for 3 seconds cancels a preset time. The current time setting is retained for 90 days even if power is disconnected.
• Time Adjustment: Used to adjust the time period (hour or minute) when setting current or preset times. Pressing it repeatedly during preset time setting will display "cancel" to clear the setting. The preset time is always remembered even if power is disconnected. Ice Production: The ice maker typically starts producing ice within 15 minutes. Once ice cubes are made, they can be scooped out using the provided ice scoop. To prevent melting, ice should be used immediately or stored in a freezer. The ice maker will pause if the ice bin is removed for more than 5 minutes, resuming once it's placed back within the 5-minute window.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the ice maker, as well as to maintain fresh-tasting ice. Self-Cleaning Cycle:

• Initiation: The "CLEAN" button, when held for 3 seconds, initiates a self-cleaning cycle.
• Process: The ice maker automatically cleans for the first 3 minutes (with the "CLEAN" indicator solid). After this, the indicator flashes quickly for 5 minutes, prompting the user to confirm a deep clean by pressing the "CLEAN" button again. If no action is taken within 5 minutes, the cleaning cycle stops automatically, and the ice maker returns to standby mode.
• Reminder: After 100 hours of continuous operation, the "CLEAN" indicator will flash slowly for 30 seconds to remind the user to perform a cleaning cycle. Regular Cleaning:
• Weekly Cleaning: It is recommended to clean the ice bin and water tank once a week to remove fallen dirt or fibers. This involves unplugging the unit, removing the ice bin and water filter, rinsing them with diluted detergent and warm water, and then cleaning the water tank with diluted detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth. After cleaning, add water to rinse and drain it out.
• Exterior Cleaning: The exterior of the ice maker should be gently wiped with a soft, damp cloth. Removal of Scale/Mineral Build-up:
• Procedure: To address scale or mineral buildup, fill the water tank with warm water (around 90°F) below the MAX line. Add distilled white vinegar or a dedicated ice maker cleaner and let it sit for at least 18 hours.
• Cleaning Cycles: After soaking, hold the "CLEAN" button for 3 seconds to start a self-cleaning cycle. If the "CLEAN" indicator flashes, press it again to continue. This process should be repeated for at least 3 cleaning cycles.
• Rinsing: After the cleaning cycles with the mixture, drain the mixture and run 3 additional cleaning cycles with fresh water to thoroughly rinse the system. Storage: When not in use for an extended period, the water tank should be drained and cleaned as instructed. The ice maker should then be covered and stored in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting guide for common issues such as the ice maker not working, sudden stops, noise during operation, water leaks, normal ice making cycle with no ice production, and easily melted ice cubes. For persistent problems, users are advised to contact customer support.
