- The ice maker will begin the ice-making cycle. The "Ice-Making" indicator (white light) will be illuminated.
- The first batch of ice cubes will be ready in approximately 6 minutes. Subsequent batches may be faster.
Monitoring Ice Production
- Low Water Indicator (Red Light): If the water level in the tank is too low, the red indicator light will illuminate, and the ice maker will stop production. Refill the water tank to resume operation.

Regular Cleaning

- Interior: Periodically clean the water tank and ice basket with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
- Descaling: If you notice reduced ice production or mineral buildup, perform a descaling process using a mixture of water and vinegar or a commercial descaling solution, following the product's specific instructions.
