4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging. Remove all packing materials, including any tape or protective films.
2. Placement: Place the ice maker on a firm, level surface away from direct sunlight and other heat sources (e.g., stove, furnace, radiator). Ensure there is at least 15 cm (6 inches) of space around the back and sides for proper ventilation.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the interior of the ice maker. Refer to the "Cleaning and Maintenance" section for detailed instructions.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the unit is unplugged. Allow the appliance to stand upright for at least 1 hour before plugging it in, especially if it was transported horizontally. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Fill Water Reservoir: Open the lid and remove the ice basket. Fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.
2. Replace Ice Basket and Close Lid: Place the ice basket back into position and close the lid securely.
3. Start Ice Production: Plug in the appliance. Press the "ON/OFF" button on the control panel. The indicator light will illuminate, and the ice-making cycle will begin.
4. Select Ice Cube Size (if applicable): If your model offers different ice cube sizes, press the "SELECT" or "SIZE" button to choose your desired size (e.g., Small, Large). The corresponding indicator light will illuminate.
5. Monitor Indicators:
   • "ICE FULL" Indicator: When the ice basket is full, the machine will automatically stop ice production, and the "ICE FULL" indicator will light up. Remove ice to resume production.
   • "ADD WATER" Indicator: When the water level in the reservoir is too low, the machine will stop, and the "ADD WATER" indicator will light up. Add more water to resume production.
6. Harvesting Ice: Use the provided ice scoop to remove ice cubes from the basket. For best results, transfer ice to a freezer for storage as the ice maker is not a freezer and will melt ice over time.
7. Stopping Operation: To stop the ice maker at any time, press the "ON/OFF" button. Unplug the unit when not in use for extended periods.
