Setup Guide
1. Unpacking and Placement
- Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging.
- Place the unit upright on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit (at least 5 inches of space on all sides).
- Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 2 hours before plugging it in, especially if it was transported horizontally. This allows the refrigerant to settle.

2. Water Supply Options
Your WATOOR ice maker offers two methods for water supply:
Option A: Top-Loading Water Bottle (3-5 Gallon)
- Remove the cap from a standard 3 or 5-gallon water bottle (not included).
- Carefully invert the water bottle and place it onto the top-loading receptacle of the ice maker. Ensure it seats tightly to prevent leaks and contamination.
- The unit will automatically draw water as needed.
Option B: Manual Water Addition
- Lift the lid of the ice maker.
- Pour potable water directly into the water reservoir until it reaches the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.

- Wipe the water reservoir and ice basket with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild detergent.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Drain any remaining water through the drain plug located at the bottom of the unit.
- Dry all parts thoroughly before use.
