Setup Instructions
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including tape and labels. Inspect the unit for any damage. If damage is found, do not operate the ice maker and contact customer support.
2. Placement
Place the ice maker on a flat, stable, and level surface. Ensure there is at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clearance around the unit for proper ventilation. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight. The ambient temperature should be between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C).

3. Initial Cleaning
Before first use, clean the interior of the ice maker. Remove the ice basket and wash it with warm water and a mild detergent. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth dampened with a solution of water and vinegar (1:1 ratio). Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
4. First Use
After cleaning, allow the unit to sit upright for at least 1 hour before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Plug the unit into a grounded electrical outlet.
Operating Instructions
1. Filling the Water Reservoir
Open the lid and pour potable water into the water reservoir up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill. Close the lid securely.

2. Powering On and Selecting Ice Size
Press the POWER button on the control panel to turn on the unit. The unit will typically default to a small ice size. To change the ice size (Small or Large), press the SELECT button. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate.
3. Ice Production
The ice maker will begin the ice-making cycle automatically. The first batch of ice may take slightly longer to produce. Subsequent batches will be faster. The unit will automatically stop making ice when the ice basket is full or when the water reservoir is empty.
- The ADD WATER indicator light will illuminate when the water reservoir needs refilling.
- The ICE FULL indicator light will illuminate when the ice basket is full.
4. Dispensing Ice
Use the provided ice scoop to remove ice from the ice basket. Do not use your hands or other utensils to avoid contamination or damage to the unit.
Maintenance
1. Daily Cleaning
After each use, or at least daily, drain any remaining water from the reservoir. Remove the ice basket and wipe the interior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
2. Deep Cleaning / Descaling
Perform a deep clean every 1-2 weeks, or more frequently depending on water hardness. This helps prevent mineral buildup and ensures optimal ice quality.
- Unplug the ice maker and drain all water.
- Prepare a cleaning solution: mix 1 part white vinegar with 1 part water, or use a commercial ice maker cleaning solution according to its instructions.
- Pour the cleaning solution into the water reservoir up to the MAX line.
- Plug in the unit and run 2-3 ice-making cycles. Discard any ice produced during this process.
- Drain the cleaning solution completely.
- Rinse the reservoir thoroughly by filling it with clean water and running 2-3 more ice-making cycles. Discard this ice and water.
- Wipe down all interior surfaces with a clean, damp cloth and dry completely.
