Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the ice maker and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Placement: Place the ice maker on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
3. Refrigerant Settling: Before plugging in your ice maker, allow it to stand upright for at least 6 hours. This allows the refrigerant fluid to settle, which is crucial for proper operation and to prevent system failures.

3. Automatic Cycle Ice Production: The ice maker features an automatic cycle. It will stop making ice when the ice level reaches the infrared sensor (indicating the bin is full) and will resume after 30 minutes if the ice level drops below the sensor. This ensures a continuous supply of ice without constant monitoring.

4. Indicator Lights:
   • ADD WATER: This light illuminates when the water reservoir is low and needs refilling.
   • ICE FULL: This light illuminates when the ice bin is full, and the machine will pause ice production.
5. Soft Ice Button: Press the SOFT ICE button to select the desired ice texture.
6. Power Off: Press the POWER button again to turn off the ice maker.

Note: The ice maker does not have a refrigeration function for stored ice. It is recommended to transfer ice to a freezer for long-term storage.
