Setup

Unpacking and Initial Placement

Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the ice maker for any signs of damage. Place the unit on a flat, stable, and level surface, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Water Filling Options

• Manual Refill: Open the lid and pour potable water directly into the water reservoir. The anti-drip design helps prevent spills.
• Auto Refill: Connect the included 10ft 1/4" hose to a water supply line. This allows for continuous water supply without manual refilling. Ensure the connection is secure to prevent leaks.

Operation

First Use and Initial Cleaning

Before first use, it is recommended to run a cleaning cycle. Fill the water reservoir, then press the "Clean" button on the control panel. This will circulate water to clean the internal components. Drain the water after the cycle is complete.

Making Ice

Once the unit is set up and filled with water, press the "On/Off" button to start the ice making process. The ice maker can produce up to 30 lbs of ice in 24 hours, with ice ready in as little as 15 minutes. The ice basket has a capacity of 4.8 lbs, and the water reservoir holds 2.8L (3 quarts).

Note: The ice basket does not have a refrigeration system. For long-term storage of ice, transfer the nugget ice to a freezer.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your ice maker.

Daily Cleaning

After each use, or daily, empty any remaining water from the reservoir and wipe down the interior with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure the ice basket is clean and dry before replacing it.

Self-Cleaning Function

The ice maker features an automatic self-cleaning function to ensure fresh ice and help remove limescale buildup. To activate, ensure the water reservoir is filled, then press the "Clean" button. The cycle will run automatically.

Descaling

Limescale buildup can affect ice quality and machine performance. It is recommended to descale your ice maker once a month, or more frequently if you live in an area with hard water. Descaler is required for effective limescale removal.

Follow the instructions provided with your descaling solution. Typically, this involves adding the descaler to the water reservoir and running a cleaning cycle, followed by several rinse cycles with fresh water.

Long-Term Storage

If the ice maker will not be used for an extended period, drain all water from the reservoir and internal components. Run a cleaning cycle with fresh water, then drain completely. Dry the interior thoroughly with a soft cloth. Store the unit in a cool, dry place.
