4. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging. Remove all packing materials, including tape and any internal components.
2. Placement: Place the unit on a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance (at least 4 inches of space on all sides). Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
3. Stabilize: Allow the ice maker to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle properly.
4. Clean: Before first use, clean the inner liner, ice collecting tray, water box, ice shovel, and evaporator with a diluted solution of water and vinegar. Rinse thoroughly before starting.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Add Water: Open the transparent lid and remove the ice basket. Fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the "MAX" fill line. Do not overfill.
2. Power On: Close the lid and plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Press the power button on the control panel. The "ICE MAKING" indicator will illuminate.
3. Ice Production: The ice maker will begin producing ice within 8 minutes. The bullet-shaped ice cubes will drop into the ice basket.
4. Indicators:
   • If the "ICE FULL" indicator illuminates, the ice basket is full. Remove ice to resume production.
   • If the "ADD WATER" indicator illuminates, the water reservoir is low. Add more water and press the power button to restart.
5. Collect Ice: Use the provided ice scoop to remove ice from the basket. For best results, transfer unused ice to a freezer for storage.
6. Power Off: To stop ice production, press the power button. Unplug the unit when not in use.
