3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Unpacking

• Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging.
• Remove all packing materials, including any tape or protective film.
• Check for any damage during transit. If damaged, do not operate and contact customer support.
• Ensure all accessories are present: ice basket and ice shovel.

3.2 Placement

• Place the ice maker on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface.
• Allow at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clearance around the machine for proper ventilation.
• Avoid placing near heat sources (ovens, radiators) or in direct sunlight.

3.3 Water Supply

The Advwin Ice Cube Maker offers two convenient ways to add water:

Figure 3.1: Two methods for water input.

This image clearly illustrates the two methods for adding water to the ice maker. Method 1 shows "Manual Water Fill," where water is poured directly into the machine's reservoir. Method 2 depicts using an "External Water Bottle" (suitable for 2-5 L bottled water) placed on top of the machine, allowing for automatic water drawing. This visual guide simplifies the water supply process for users.

1. Manual Water Fill:
   • Open the lid of the ice maker.
   • Pour potable water directly into the water reservoir until it reaches the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.
2. External Water Bottle (Automatic):
   • Place a compatible 2-5 liter bottled water jug onto the designated slot on top of the ice maker.
   • The machine will automatically draw water as needed.
   • Note: If there is no water in the internal tank, the machine will automatically switch to drawing water from the external source if connected.

After adding water, allow the appliance to stand upright for at least 1 hour before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 First Use

Before first use, it is recommended to clean the ice maker. Refer to the "Maintenance and Cleaning" section for instructions.

4.2 Making Ice

1. Ensure the ice maker is plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Add water using either the manual fill or external bottle method (see Section 3.3).
3. Press the ON/OFF button on the control panel to start the ice-making cycle. The indicator light will illuminate.
4. The machine will begin producing ice. The first batch may take slightly longer.
5. Ice cubes will be ready in approximately 13 minutes.
6. When the ice basket is full, the ICE FULL indicator will light up, and the machine will automatically pause. Remove ice to resume production.
7. If the water level is low, the ADD WATER indicator will light up, and the machine will pause. Add more water to resume.
8. To stop ice production, press the ON/OFF button again.

4.3 Using the Timer Function

The ice maker features a 1-24 hour timer for scheduled operation.

This image visually represents the "Create Personalized Schedules" feature of the Advwin Ice Cube Maker. It shows a clock icon on the left, symbolizing the timer function, and ice cubes on the right, indicating scheduled ice production. The machine's control panel is central, with a digital display showing "88," suggesting a time setting. This highlights the convenience of pre-setting ice-making times.

1. With the machine on standby (plugged in but off), press the TIME button.
2. Use the + and - buttons to set the desired delay time (in hours) before the machine starts or stops.
3. Press the TIME button again to confirm the setting. The timer indicator will light up.

4.4 Adjusting Ice-Making Time (Ice Thickness)

You can adjust the ice-making duration to produce thinner or thicker ice cubes.

Figure 4.2: Ice thickness customization.

This image illustrates how users can customize ice cube thickness based on their needs. It shows three examples: "11 Mins → Thin" for blending smoothies, "15 Mins → Medium" for preserving food, and "20 Mins → Thick" for chilling drinks. This visual guide helps users understand the relationship between ice-making time and the resulting ice cube size/density.

• While the machine is making ice, press the + button to increase the ice-making time (for thicker ice).
• Press the - button to decrease the ice-making time (for thinner ice).
