  4. Placement: Place the ice maker on a level, stable surface. Ensure there is at least 6 inches of clearance around the unit for proper ventilation. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
  5. Add Water: Open the top cover and fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the MAX water level mark. Do not overfill.
  6. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
Three step process for using the ice maker: add water, turn on and select size, ice ready in 6 minutes.
