Setup

  1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging. Remove all protective films and packing materials from the unit, including any inside the ice basket or water reservoir.
  2. Placement: Place the ice maker on a flat, stable, and well-ventilated surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for proper air circulation. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
