4.2 Ice Full Reminder

The ice maker is equipped with a sensor that detects when the ice basket is full. When the ice reaches the alert level, the unit will automatically stop ice production to prevent overflow and save energy. Once ice is removed, the unit will resume operation.

4.3 Benefits of Nugget Ice

Nugget ice, also known as chewable ice, is soft and porous, making it ideal for various applications:

• Enhanced Flavor: Its porous nature allows it to absorb the flavor of beverages, providing a more integrated taste experience.
• Chewable Texture: The soft, chewable texture is preferred by many over traditional hard ice cubes.
• Fast Cooling: Provides rapid cooling for drinks.
