Operating Instructions

   • Small: Ideal for quickly cooling beverages like water or juices.

3. Ice Production: The ice maker will begin producing ice. The first batch of 9 ice cubes will be ready in approximately 6-12 minutes, depending on the selected size and ambient temperature.
4. Monitoring: The transparent lid allows you to observe the ice production. The indicator lights on the control panel will show the current status (e.g., "Ice Full," "Add Water").
