Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging. Remove all packing materials, including any tape or protective films.
- Placement: Place the ice maker on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface away from direct sunlight and other heat sources. Ensure there is at least 15 cm (6 inches) of space around the unit for proper ventilation.
- Refrigerant Settling: After transport, allow the ice maker to stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle properly, ensuring efficient operation.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the interior of the ice maker. Refer to the 'Maintenance' section for detailed cleaning instructions.
- Drain Plug: Ensure the drain plug located at the bottom of the unit is securely closed before adding water.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to operate your CUMEOD Ice Maker:
- Add Water: Open the lid and pour potable water into the water reservoir. Do not exceed the 'MAX' fill line indicated inside the reservoir. The water tank capacity is approximately 1.3 liters.
- Power On and Select Ice Size: Plug the ice maker into a grounded electrical outlet. Press the ON/OFF button on the control panel to turn on the unit. Then, press the SELECT button to choose your desired ice cube size: SMALL or LARGE.
- Ice Production: The ice maker will begin the ice-making cycle. The first batch of 9 bullet-shaped ice cubes will be ready in approximately 6 minutes. Subsequent cycles may be faster.
- Ice Full Indicator: The infrared sensor will detect when the ice basket is full, and the 'ICE FULL' indicator light will illuminate. The machine will pause ice production until some ice is removed.
- Add Water Indicator: If the water level in the reservoir is too low, the 'ADD WATER' indicator light will illuminate, and the machine will stop ice production. Refill the reservoir to resume operation.
- Retrieve Ice: Use the provided ice shovel to remove ice from the basket. For best results, transfer freshly made ice to a freezer for storage, as the ice maker's basket is not a freezer and ice will melt over time.
