1. Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging. Verify that you have two ice cube trays, one lid with an integrated press plate, one storage bin, and one ice scoop.
  2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all components (ice trays, lid, bin, and scoop) thoroughly by hand with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse completely and allow to air dry. Do NOT use a dishwasher for cleaning.
  3. Assembly: The product comes pre-assembled. No additional assembly is required.

2. Operating Instructions

  1. Fill Ice Trays: Fill each ice cube tray with water up to the indicated water level line. Avoid overfilling to prevent cubes from sticking together.
  2. Place in Freezer: Carefully place the filled ice trays into your freezer. For best results, ensure they are placed on a flat surface.
  3. Freezing Time: Allow approximately 4 hours for the ice cubes to freeze completely. Freezing time may vary depending on your freezer's temperature.
  4. Release Ice Cubes:
    • Place a frozen ice tray upside down onto the storage bin.
    • Align the lid (with the press plate facing down) over the inverted ice tray.
    • Gently press down on the lid. The spikes on the press plate will push the ice cubes out of the silicone bottom of the tray and into the storage bin below.
  5. Store Ice: Once released, the ice cubes will collect in the storage bin. Use the provided scoop to serve. The lid can be placed on the storage bin to keep ice fresh and prevent freezer odors.
