Operating Instructions

1. Add Water: Open the lid and fill the water reservoir with clean, potable water up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.
2. Start Production: Close the lid and press the "ON/OFF" button on the control panel. The "ICE MAKING" indicator light will illuminate.
3. Monitor Progress: The ice maker will begin producing ice cubes. You can observe the process through the transparent lid. The first batch of ice may take slightly longer and the cubes might be smaller or irregular. This is normal.
4. Ice Full Indicator: When the ice basket is full, the "ICE FULL" indicator light will turn on, and the machine will automatically stop ice production. Remove ice from the basket to resume production.
5. Add Water Indicator: If the water level is too low, the "ADD WATER" indicator light will turn on, and the machine will stop. Add more water to the reservoir to continue.
6. Stop Production: To stop the ice maker at any time, press the "ON/OFF" button again.

Note: The ice maker is not a freezer. Ice cubes will gradually melt if left in the basket for extended periods. Transfer ice to a freezer for long-term storage.
