Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials and inspect the ice maker for any damage. Ensure all accessories, including the ice basket and scoop, are present.

The COWSAR Ice Maker's portable design makes it suitable for various settings, including outdoor gatherings. Its compact size allows for easy placement on countertops or tables, providing fresh ice wherever needed.

3. Initial Cleaning

Before first use, clean the interior of the ice maker. Wipe the water reservoir and ice basket with a soft cloth and warm water. Run a self-cleaning cycle as described in the Maintenance section.

4. Filling the Water Reservoir

Open the lid and fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.

Operating Instructions
