Before First Use

1. Unpack the ice maker and all accessories.
2. Clean the interior of the ice maker, ice basket, and ice scoop with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
3. Place the ice maker on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure there is at least 4 inches of clearance around the unit for proper ventilation.
4. Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 1 hour before plugging it in, especially if it was transported horizontally. This allows the refrigerant to settle.

3. Fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.

4. Add Water Indicator: If the water level in the reservoir is too low, the "ADD WATER" indicator will light up. Add more water to the reservoir and the unit will resume operation.
5. Ice Full Indicator: When the ice basket is full, the "ICE FULL" indicator will light up, and the ice maker will pause operation. Remove ice from the basket to resume production.
