Setup
Unpacking
- Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging.
- Remove all packing materials, including any tape or protective films.
- Inspect the appliance for any damage. If damaged, do not operate and contact customer support.
Placement
- Place the ice maker on a firm, level countertop or table.
- Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit (at least 5 inches of space on all sides).
- Avoid placing near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
- Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
Initial Cleaning
- Before first use, clean the interior of the ice maker. Refer to the 'Maintenance' section for detailed cleaning instructions.
- Perform a self-cleaning cycle as described in the 'Maintenance' section.
Operating Instructions
Adding Water
- Open the lid of the ice maker.
- Fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.
- Close the lid securely.
Making Ice
- Plug the ice maker into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Press the 'ICE CLEAN' button once to start the ice making process. The status indicator will illuminate.
- The first batch of nugget ice will be ready in approximately 6 minutes.
- The ice maker will continue to produce ice until the ice basket is full or the water reservoir is empty.

Understanding Indicators
- Ice Basket Full: When the ice basket is full, the ice maker will automatically pause production. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate. Once ice is removed, production will resume.
- Water Tank Empty: If the water reservoir is empty, the ice maker will stop production and the 'Water Tank Empty' indicator light will illuminate. Refill the reservoir to resume ice making.

Manual Cleaning and Descaling
The ice maker features a detachable top for easier access during manual cleaning or descaling.
- Unplug the appliance and remove the ice basket.
- Drain any remaining water from the reservoir.
- Wipe down all accessible interior surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Rinse thoroughly.
- For descaling, use a solution of water and white vinegar or a commercial descaling agent according to product instructions. Run a cleaning cycle with the descaling solution, then rinse thoroughly by running several cycles with clean water.
- Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling and storing.
Hard Water Considerations
Hard water can lead to mineral buildup, affecting ice maker performance. Descaling frequency depends on water hardness in your area.
Image: A map of the United States indicating regional water hardness levels. It recommends descaling monthly in moderately hard water areas and every two to three weeks in hard to very hard water areas, based on calcium carbonate concentration.
- Moderately Hard Water (61-120mg/L): Descale monthly.
- Hard to Very Hard Water (121-250mg/L): Descale every two to three weeks.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ice maker, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Ice maker not producing ice. | No water in reservoir; power not connected; ambient temperature too high. | Fill water reservoir; ensure unit is plugged in; operate in a cooler environment. |
| Ice production is slow. | Water temperature too high; poor ventilation; mineral buildup. | Use colder water; ensure proper ventilation; descale the unit. |
| Ice has an unusual taste or odor. | Unit needs cleaning; stale water. | Perform a thorough cleaning and self-cleaning cycle; use fresh, potable water. |
| Unit is making unusual noises. | Normal operational sounds; mineral buildup. | Some sounds are normal during ice production. If persistent or loud, descale the unit. |
