Operating Instructions

1. Making Ice

1. Ensure the unit is plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Fill the water reservoir with potable water as described in the Setup section.
3. Press the ON/OFF Key on the control panel to start the ice making process. The unit will begin producing ice within minutes.

2. Ice Collection

Once ice is produced, it will drop into the ice bin. The front ice drawer allows for easy access to the nugget ice. Use the provided ice scoop to retrieve ice.

3. Melted Ice Recycling

The Dreamice X3 features a melted ice recycling system. If ice in the bin melts, the water will drain back into the reservoir to be re-used for ice production. This minimizes water waste.

• Plan A (Storage): If you plan to store ice for more than 2 hours, it is best to transfer it to a freezer. The ice bin does not have insulation for extended storage.
• Plan B (Continuous Production): When the "Ice Full" light is on, do not remove ice if you want the machine to automatically remake ice once the melted water returns to the reservoir.

• Red Light (Add Water): Always flashing when water needs to be added.

• Ice Full Light: Illuminates when the ice bin is full.
