Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging. Remove all packing materials, including any tape or protective film.
2. Placement: Place the unit on a flat, stable, and level surface. Ensure there is at least 6 inches of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation. Avoid placing near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the interior of the ice maker. Remove the ice basket and wash it with warm, soapy water. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth and mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly.
4. First Use Preparation: After cleaning, allow the unit to sit upright for at least one hour before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
5. Add Water: Open the lid and fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the "MAX" fill line. Do not overfill.

   The corresponding LED indicator ("SMALL" or "LARGE") will light up.
3. Ice Production: The ice maker will begin the ice-making cycle. The first batch of ice may take slightly longer (around 7-15 minutes) to form. Subsequent batches will be produced more quickly.
4. Ice Collection: As ice cubes are produced, they will drop into the removable ice basket.
5. "ICE FULL" Indicator: When the ice basket is full, the "ICE FULL" indicator light will illuminate, and the ice maker will automatically pause production. Remove ice from the basket to resume operation.
