4. Setup

4.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials. Ensure all components listed in Section 3.1 are present. Keep packaging for future storage or transport if needed.

4.2 Placement

• Place the ice maker on a flat, stable, and level surface.
• Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit (at least 5 inches of space on all sides).
• Avoid placing the unit near heat sources (e.g., ovens, radiators) or in direct sunlight.
• Do not place the unit in an enclosed cabinet.

4.3 Initial Cleaning

Before first use, clean the interior of the ice maker and all removable parts (ice basket, ice scoop, external water tank) with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Run the auto-cleaning cycle (see Section 6.2) with clean water before making ice for consumption.

4.4 Water Filling

You can add water in two ways:

1. Internal Reservoir: Open the lid and pour potable water directly into the internal water reservoir up to the MAX fill line.
2. External Water Tank: Fill the 1.5L external water tank with potable water and place it securely on top of the ice maker. The machine will automatically draw water from this tank.

Ensure the water level is sufficient before starting the ice-making process.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On and First Ice Cycle

1. Plug the ice maker into a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Add water using either method described in Section 4.4.
3. Press the ON/OFF button on the control panel to start the ice-making process. The ice-making indicator will illuminate.
4. The first cycle may take slightly longer, and the ice cubes might be smaller or irregular. This is normal. Discard the first few batches of ice.

5.2 Adjusting Ice Thickness

You can adjust the ice cube thickness to suit your preference:

• Press the "+" button to increase the ice-making time, resulting in thicker ice cubes.
• Press the "-" button to decrease the ice-making time, resulting in thinner ice cubes.
• Typical settings: Thin (approx. 8 mins), Medium (approx. 13 mins), Thick (approx. 20 mins).

5.3 Using the 24-Hour Timer

The timer function allows you to schedule when the ice maker starts or stops:

1. While the machine is running, press the Timer button (often indicated by a clock icon).
2. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to set the desired delay time (in hours) before the machine starts or stops.
3. Press the Timer button again to confirm the setting.

5.4 Indicator Lights

• Ice Full: The indicator will flash when the ice basket is full, and the machine will pause operation. Remove ice to resume.
• Water Shortage: The indicator will flash when the water level is low. Add water to the reservoir or external tank to resume operation.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your ice maker.

6.1 Daily Cleaning

• Empty the ice basket and clean it with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Rinse and dry.
• Wipe the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.

6.2 Auto-Cleaning Function

The auto-cleaning function simplifies internal cleaning:

1. Ensure the ice maker is empty of ice and water.
2. Add clean water to the internal reservoir up to the MAX fill line.
3. Press and hold the "+" button for 3 seconds to activate the auto-cleaning mode. The cycle will run for approximately 20 minutes.
4. Once the cycle is complete, drain the water from the unit (refer to the drainage port, usually at the bottom or back).
5. Rinse the interior with fresh water and drain again.

6.3 Regular Deep Cleaning (Descaling)

Depending on water hardness, descaling may be required periodically (e.g., monthly or every few months) to remove mineral buildup:

• Prepare a descaling solution (e.g., a mixture of water and white vinegar or a commercial descaling agent as per product instructions).
• Pour the solution into the water reservoir.
• Run the auto-cleaning cycle. For stubborn buildup, let the solution sit for 15-30 minutes after the cycle before draining.
• Drain the solution completely.
• Rinse the interior thoroughly with fresh water multiple times, running auto-cleaning cycles with plain water to ensure all descaling solution is removed.
