5. Operating Instructions

Making Ice:

1. Add Water: Open the lid and fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.
2. Start Ice Making: Press the power button. The indicator light will illuminate, and the ice making process will begin.
3. First Batch: The first batch of nugget ice will typically be ready in about 5 minutes. Subsequent batches will be produced continuously.
4. Ice Full Indicator: The "Ice Full" indicator light will turn on when the ice basket is full. The machine will automatically pause ice production.
5. Add Water Indicator: The "Add Water" indicator light will turn on when the water reservoir is low. Add more water to resume ice production.
6. Storing Ice: Nugget ice melts slower than traditional ice, but it will still melt if left in the basket. For longer storage, transfer the ice to an ice bag (provided) and store it in your freezer.

Self-Cleaning Function:

The self-cleaning feature helps maintain the hygiene and efficiency of your ice maker.

1. Initiate Cleaning: Ensure the water reservoir is filled with clean water. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to activate the self-cleaning cycle.
2. Cycle Duration: The cleaning cycle lasts approximately 15 minutes.
3. Drain Water: After the cycle completes, unplug the bottom drain plug to empty the wastewater.
4. Rinse: For best results, rinse the reservoir with clean water and drain again.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your ice maker.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, drain any remaining water and wipe the interior with a soft, damp cloth.
• Weekly Cleaning: Perform the self-cleaning cycle once a week, especially if used frequently.
• Descaling: If you live in an area with hard water, mineral deposits (scale) can build up. Descale the unit monthly in moderately hard water areas, or every two weeks in very hard water areas. Use a descaling solution specifically designed for ice makers or a mixture of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio). Run the self-cleaning cycle with the descaling solution, then rinse thoroughly with clean water multiple times.
• External Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: If storing the ice maker for an extended period, ensure it is completely dry. Drain all water, clean the interior, and leave the lid slightly ajar to prevent mold and mildew growth. Store in a cool, dry place.
