Thank you for choosing the NORTHCLAN Ice Makers Countertop. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your new ice maker. Please read it thoroughly before first use and retain it for future reference.

2. Safety Instructions

To ensure safe operation and prevent damage, please adhere to the following guidelines:

• Initial Placement: Keep the machine upright for at least 24 hours before its first use to allow refrigerants to settle.
• Water Only: Only fill the water tank with potable water. Do not use any other liquids such as coffee, juice, or carbonated beverages, as this can damage the internal components and void the warranty.
• Do Not Tilt: Avoid tilting the machine during operation or immediately after unboxing.
• Ice Storage: This ice maker is not a refrigerator. Ice cubes will melt if left in the basket for extended periods. Transfer ice to a separate freezer for long-term storage.

4. Setup

4.1 Unboxing and Initial Placement

Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging. Before plugging it in or adding water, ensure the unit remains upright for at least 24 hours. This allows the refrigerant to stabilize, preventing potential damage and ensuring optimal performance.

4.2 Filling the Water Tank

Once the unit has rested, open the lid and fill the water tank with clean, potable water up to the 'MAX' water line. The tank has a 2-liter capacity. Do not overfill.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Operation

The NORTHCLAN Ice Maker features a simple one-button operation. After filling the water tank and plugging in the unit, press the 'ON' button to begin the ice-making process. The control panel will indicate when ice is being made, when the ice basket is full, or when more water needs to be added.

5.2 Ice Production and Collection

The ice maker will produce its first batch of 9 bullet-shaped ice cubes in approximately 5-8 minutes. It will continue to produce ice until the basket is full or the water tank is empty. The transparent lid allows you to monitor the ice level.

When the 'Ice Full' indicator illuminates, use the provided ice scoop to remove the ice from the basket. For prolonged storage, transfer the ice to a freezer immediately, as the ice maker does not keep ice frozen.

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your ice maker. The unit is designed for easy cleaning.

• Daily Cleaning: Wipe the interior and exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
• Draining Water: The compact size makes it easy to move and drain any remaining water from the tank.
• Automatic Self-Cleaning: The ice maker features an automatic self-cleaning function to easily clean inner hard-to-reach areas. Press the POWER button for more than 5 seconds to activate it. Press POWER again to end the self-clean cycles.
