Familiarize yourself with the control panel and basic operations.
6.1 Control Panel Overview
Image Description: A detailed close-up of the ice maker's LCD control panel. The panel displays temperature and ice-making status. Buttons are labeled with their functions: 'LIGHT' (turns on blue light), 'TIMER' (for reservation time setting), 'CLEAN' (press for 5 seconds for self-cleaning), 'ON/OFF' (power button), and '+/-' (adjusts ice making process and time).
- LIGHT: Activates the internal blue light.
- TIMER: Press to enter the reservation time setting for delayed ice production.
- CLEAN: Press and hold for 5 seconds to initiate the self-cleaning function.
- ON/OFF: Powers the unit on or off.
- +/-: Used to adjust ice making duration or set timer values.
6.2 Initial Start-up
- After connecting water and power, press the ON/OFF button to start the machine.
- The machine will begin its first ice-making cycle. The first few batches of ice may be smaller or irregular; discard them.
6.3 Ice Production
- The machine produces up to 64 pieces of ice per cycle.
- Cycle duration is typically 13-20 minutes, depending on ambient temperature and water temperature.
- Use the +/- buttons to adjust the ice-making time, which influences the thickness of the ice cubes. Longer times result in thicker ice.
