4. Setup

4.1 Unpacking and Initial Placement

  • Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging. Due to its weight (55 lbs), it is recommended to have assistance.
  • Place the unit on a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.
  • Important: After unpacking, allow the ice maker to stand upright for at least 2 hours before plugging it into a power outlet. This allows the refrigerant fluid to settle, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

4.2 Initial Cleaning

  • Before first use, wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Rinse the interior of the ice storage bin and water reservoir with warm, soapy water. Ensure all soap residue is thoroughly rinsed away.
  • The unit has a drain outlet at the back to facilitate water drainage during cleaning.

4.3 Water Connection

The Joy Pebble V2.0 offers two methods for water supply:

  • Direct Tap Water Connection: Connect the provided water inlet hose to a potable tap water supply. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
  • Bottled Water Connection: For convenience, you can use an external gallon bottled water source. Connect the provided hose with the nozzle to the water intake port and place the other end into the bottled water.
