4. Setup
Before initial use, ensure the ice maker is placed on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Allow adequate ventilation around the unit.
4.1 Water Connection
The ice maker supports two methods for water supply: direct tap connection or using a bottled water dispenser. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
Figure 2: Illustration of the two water inlet methods: direct tap connection via the tap connector and using a water bottle on top of the unit.
4.1.1 Direct Tap Connection
- Connect the water inlet hose to a suitable water faucet.
- Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the 'IN' port on the back of the ice maker, typically after the water filter.
- Ensure the water filter is properly installed in the line.
4.1.2 Bottled Water Connection
- Place a compatible water bottle (e.g., 5-gallon) onto the top dispenser area of the ice maker.
- Ensure the bottle is seated correctly and the water flows into the internal reservoir.
4.2 Drainage Connection
Connect the thickened drainage pipe to the 'OUT' port on the back of the ice maker. Route the drainage pipe to a suitable drain or collection container to prevent water overflow.
4.3 Power Connection
Plug the ice maker into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the appliance's requirements.

5. Operating Instructions
The ice maker features intuitive touch controls for easy operation.

5.1 Power On/Off
Press the 'On/Off' button on the control panel to start or stop the ice making process.
5.2 Adjusting Ice Thickness
Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the control panel to adjust the thickness of the ice cubes. Thicker ice cubes take longer to produce but melt slower.
5.3 Ice Collection
Once ice is produced, it will drop into the storage bin. Use the provided stainless steel ice scoop to retrieve ice from the bin. The blue light inside the bin illuminates the ice for easy viewing.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your ice maker.
6.1 Automatic Cleaning
The ice maker features an automatic cleaning function. Refer to the control panel diagram for the specific button to initiate the cleaning cycle. This function helps maintain hygiene and prevents mineral buildup.

6.2 Regular Cleaning
Periodically clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For the interior, use a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before resuming operation. Ensure the water filter is replaced as recommended by the manufacturer to maintain ice quality.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter. For problems not listed here, please contact customer support.
