3. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: After adding water and plugging in the unit, press the 'ON/OFF' button on the control panel to turn on the ice maker.
2. Select Ice Size: Use the 'SELECT' button to choose between small (S) or large (L) bullet ice cubes. The selected size indicator light will illuminate.
3. Ice Making Cycle: The ice maker will begin its first ice-making cycle. This typically takes 6-8 minutes.
4. Ice Full Indicator: When the ice basket is full, the 'ICE FULL' indicator light will illuminate, and the machine will automatically stop making ice.
5. Add Water Indicator: If the water reservoir is low, the 'ADD WATER' indicator light will illuminate. Add more water to continue ice production.

5. Troubleshooting

• Ice Melts in Basket: The ice maker's storage basket is not a freezer. Ice will melt if left in the basket. Transfer ice to a freezer for long-term storage.
• "ADD WATER" Light On, but Reservoir is Full: This may indicate a sensor issue. Ensure the water level is indeed below the sensor or try unplugging and replugging the unit to reset.
• Unit is Noisy: Some operational noise from the fan and compressor is normal. Excessive or unusual noise may indicate a problem; contact customer service.
• Water Leakage: Check the drain plug at the bottom to ensure it is securely closed. Inspect for any visible cracks or damage to the water reservoir.
• Not Making Ice: Ensure the unit is plugged in, powered on, and the water reservoir is filled. Check that the ice-making mechanism is not obstructed.
