Main Components:

• Control Panel: Buttons for power, ice size selection, and indicator lights.
• Ice Basket: Removable basket for collecting produced ice.
• Water Reservoir: Area for filling with water for ice production.
• Ice Scoop: For convenient ice retrieval.
• Transparent Lid: Allows observation of the ice making process.
• Air Vent: Located on the side, essential for proper ventilation.

3. Setup

Unpacking and Placement:

1. Remove all packaging materials and tape.
2. Place the ice maker on a flat, stable, and level surface, away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., stove, furnace, radiator).
3. Ensure there is at least 6 inches (15 cm) of space around the appliance for proper air circulation. Do not block the air vents.
4. Allow the appliance to stand upright for at least 1 hour before plugging it in, especially if it was transported horizontally. This allows the refrigerant to settle.

Initial Cleaning:

1. Before first use, clean the interior of the ice maker with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water.
2. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and wipe dry.
3. Discard the first few batches of ice produced to ensure cleanliness.

4. Operating Instructions

Getting Started:

1. Open the lid and remove the ice basket.
2. Fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the ice basket and close the lid.
4. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

Making Ice:

1. Press the "ON/OFF" button to start the ice making cycle. The "ICE" indicator light will illuminate.
2. Select your desired ice cube size (small or large) by pressing the "SELECT" button. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate.
3. The ice maker will begin producing ice. The first batch may take slightly longer.
4. When the ice basket is full, the "ICE FULL" indicator light will illuminate, and the ice making process will pause. Remove ice to resume.
5. When the water level is low, the "ADD WATER" indicator light will illuminate. Add more water to the reservoir to continue ice production.
6. To stop the ice maker at any time, press the "ON/OFF" button.

Note: Ice cubes may appear cloudy initially. This is normal and does not affect quality. For best results, use cold water.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning the Ice Maker:

Regular cleaning helps maintain ice quality and extends the life of your appliance.

1. Unplug the ice maker before cleaning.
2. Remove the ice basket and drain any remaining water from the reservoir by unplugging the drain cap located at the bottom.
3. Clean the interior with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild detergent.
4. Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
5. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
6. Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before reassembling and storing.

Storage:

If the ice maker will not be used for an extended period:

• Drain all water from the reservoir.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
• Leave the lid slightly ajar to prevent mold and mildew growth.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
