4.2 Adjusting Ice Thickness
To adjust the ice thickness, follow these steps:
- During the freezing cycle, locate and press the "Up" button on the display board.
- A small number will appear on the screen, indicating the current freezing time adjustment.
- Use the "Plus" (+) or "Minus" (-) buttons to adjust this number.
