3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Initial Placement

Upon receiving the ice maker, place it in its desired location. It is crucial to allow the machine to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in or operating it. This allows the refrigerant to settle, ensuring optimal performance and preventing damage to the compressor.

3.2 Water Inlet Connection

The ice maker supports two water inlet methods: direct tap water connection or bottled water supply.

• Tap Water Connection: Connect the provided water filter and hose to a tap water source. Ensure the blue water inlet switch inside the machine is set to the horizontal position for tap water.
• Bottled Water Supply: Place a standard bottled water jug on the top inlet. Ensure the blue water inlet switch inside the machine is set to the vertical position for bottled water.

Caution: Do not connect an external water source when the internal valve is open, as this may cause an overflow.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Starting Ice Production

1. Ensure the machine is properly set up and connected to a water source and power.
2. Press the ON/OFF button on the control panel to start the ice-making process. The "ice making" indicator light will illuminate.
3. The machine will automatically begin producing ice.

4.2 Adjusting Ice Thickness

After pressing the ON/OFF button, use the '+' and '-' buttons on the control panel to adjust the ice thickness. A higher number typically corresponds to thicker ice, requiring a longer freezing time.
