This document is an instruction manual for the TITTLA ICE MAKER, specifically models KME90F and KME120F. It provides essential information regarding the device's function, safety, installation, operation, and maintenance.
Function Description
The TITTLA ICE MAKER is designed to produce ice cubes for household and similar applications. It operates by taking in potable water, freezing it, and then releasing the ice into an internal bin. The machine is not a refrigerator, meaning ice stored in the bin will eventually melt and drain out.
Important Technical Specifications
While specific detailed technical specifications like power consumption or ice production capacity are not explicitly listed in the provided pages, several operational parameters and requirements are highlighted:
- Ambient Temperature: The machine should operate in an ambient temperature range of 3℃ (37.4°F) to 40℃ (104°F).
- Clearance: A minimum of 5.9 inches (15 cm) of space is required between the back and sides of the unit and the wall for proper ventilation.
- Water Supply: Must be connected to a potable water source that complies with local drinking water standards. A filter is required for the water supply to improve drinking water standards; direct connection to tap water is not recommended.
- Water Pressure: The water supply pressure should be between 14.5-58 psi. If the pressure exceeds 58 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be connected.
- Drainage: The machine drains by its own weight, requiring the drain pipe to have sufficient height and be lower than the machine's drain port.
- Electrical Connection: The machine must be properly grounded with a three-prong plug. The fusing current of the electrical box must be >10A. Voltage fluctuation should not exceed ±10% of the rated voltage; otherwise, a voltage stabilizer is needed.
- Refrigeration System: Contains high-pressure refrigerant and must not be damaged. Installation and maintenance should be performed by a professional.
- Insulation Materials: The ice machine uses flammable thermal insulation materials and must be kept away from fire sources.
- Foaming Materials: The internal foaming materials are combustible and must be kept away from fire.
Usage Features
The ice maker features an operation panel with several buttons and indicators:
- ON/OFF SWITCH: Press to start ice making, hold for 2 seconds to turn off.
- Defrost: Hold for 2 seconds to force ice cubes to fall from the evaporator prematurely.
- Cleaning: When in standby mode, press to initiate a 5-minute self-clean program.
- Reservation/+: During ice making, press to increase the ice making time in minutes. When in ice making or standby mode, hold for 2 seconds to set an auto-turning-on time (0-23 hours).
- Light/-: During ice making, press to reduce the ice making time in minutes. Hold for 2 seconds to turn off the blue light when it's on, or to turn it on when it's off.
- Indicators: The panel displays "Ice," "Reservation," "Defrost," "Cleaning," "Ice full," "Time," "°C Ambient," "Standby," "Adding water," "Lack of water," and "Fault" to show the machine's status. "00" indicates standby mode, while "add water" and "lack of water" indicate water replenishment.
Installation Steps:
- Placement: Choose a level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources, ensuring the required 5.9-inch (15 cm) clearance.
- Initial Setup: After unpacking, allow the machine to rest for 24 hours before turning it on. Clean the interior with lukewarm water and a soft cloth, or use the Self-Clean function.
- Water Intake: Connect the potable water supply to the machine, ensuring a filter is used and water pressure is within the specified range.
- Drainage: Connect the drain pipe to a container or sewer, ensuring the drain pipe's outlet is lower than the machine's drain port.
- Electrical Connection: Plug the machine into a dedicated, properly installed, and grounded wall outlet.
Maintenance Features
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the ice maker's longevity and performance:
- Exterior: Clean regularly with a mild detergent and warm water using a soft cloth to prevent scratches.
- Spoon, Storage Tank, Pump: Clean weekly with mild detergent and warm water. For the pump, unplug the machine, remove the pump, clean it with a brush, and reinstall.
- Interior (Self-Clean Function):
- Add a 1:1 mixture of water and vinegar or lemon juice to the reservoir.
- Plug in the unit, then press and hold the "CLEAN" button for 6-7 seconds to start the 5-minute self-clean program.
- After the program finishes and the unit powers off, unplug the power cord and drain the water by unplugging the side drain cap.
- Add fresh water to the reservoir up to the water level mark.
- Repeat the self-clean process (steps 3-5) to rinse out any residue.
- After draining, replace and tighten the drain cap.
- Dry the interior and exterior with a clean, soft cloth.
It is strongly recommended to clean the unit before initial use or after long periods of inactivity.
Troubleshooting:
The manual includes a common malfunction analysis table to help diagnose and resolve issues such as:
- No Ice: Covers problems like power cord not plugged in, blown fuse, full ice bin, no power, low water pressure, broken inlet valve, or congested air inlet.
- Lower Making Capacity: Addresses issues like low water pressure, high water temperature, high or low ambient temperature, refrigerant leakage, dusty condenser, broken water pump, or congested air inlet.
For more complex issues or repairs, contacting customer support or a certified technician is advised. The manual provides contact information: Email: support@tittla.com, Phone: +1(510)228-4672, Website: https://Tittla.com.
