4. Setup Instructions
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the machine from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Retain packaging for future transport if needed.
- Placement: Place the ice machine on a stable, level, and dry surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the machine (at least 10 cm on all sides) for proper air circulation and heat dissipation, especially around the air cooling grille.
- Power Connection: Connect the power cord to a grounded electrical outlet that matches the machine's voltage requirements (refer to specifications).
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean all parts that will come into contact with liquids, including the roller and ice catchment area, according to the cleaning instructions in Section 6.
- Liquid Reservoir: Place the liquid reservoir (bucket) securely on top of the machine. Ensure it is properly seated to allow liquid to flow into the ice-making mechanism.

5. Operating Instructions
- Fill Liquid Reservoir: Pour your desired liquid (e.g., sugar drinks, fruit juice, milk, alcoholic beverages with less than 10% alcohol content) into the 4L bucket placed on top of the machine.
- Power On: Press and hold the "ON/OFF" button on the digital LED touch screen for 2 seconds to start the machine. The machine will begin its pre-cooling cycle.
- Ice Production: After the pre-cooling phase (approximately 40 seconds), the machine will start producing snowflake ice. Ice will be released in about 3 seconds.
- Adjust Roller Speed (Ice Shape):

Use the up (▲) and down (▼) arrow buttons on the control panel to adjust the roller's rotation speed. Different speeds will produce different ice textures:
- Fine Snow Ice Shape: Typically achieved at higher roller speeds.
- Refreshing Spaghetti Shape: Achieved at moderate roller speeds.
- Smooth Waterfall Shape: Achieved at lower roller speeds.
The display screen will show the current roller rotation speed for monitoring.
- Stop Operation: To stop ice production, press the "ON/OFF" button again.
- Empty Ice Catchment: Regularly empty the ice catchment box to prevent overflow and ensure continuous operation.
