Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport.

3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the interior of the ice maker.
   • Remove the ice basket and ice scoop. Wash them with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry.
   • Wipe the interior of the water reservoir and ice collection area with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet (220-240V).

Operating Instructions

1. Fill Water Reservoir: Open the lid and fill the water reservoir with clean, potable water up to the "MAX" fill line. Do not overfill.
2. Power On: Press the "ON/OFF" button on the control panel to turn on the ice maker. The "POWER" indicator light will illuminate.
3. Select Ice Cube Size: Press the "SELECT" button to choose between small (S) or large (L) ice cubes. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate.
4. Ice Production: The ice maker will begin its first ice-making cycle. The first batch of ice cubes may take slightly longer (approx. 6-13 minutes) and might be smaller or irregularly shaped. Subsequent cycles will produce ice more consistently.
5. Indicator Lights:
   • "ADD WATER" (Red): This light illuminates when the water reservoir is empty. Refill the reservoir with water, and the ice maker will automatically resume operation.
   • "ICE FULL" (Green): This light illuminates when the ice basket is full. The ice maker will pause operation. Remove ice from the basket, and the machine will automatically resume.
6. Removing Ice: Once ice cubes are formed, they will drop into the removable ice basket. Use the provided ice scoop to remove ice as needed.
7. Turning Off: To turn off the ice maker, press the "ON/OFF" button again.
