Setup Instructions

  1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future storage or transport.
  2. Placement: Place the ice maker on a flat, stable, and level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
  3. Initial Settling: After transport, allow the ice maker to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant fluids to settle properly, ensuring optimal performance and preventing damage to the compressor.
  4. Adding Water: Open the top lid and fill the water reservoir with clean, potable water up to the "MAX" fill line. Do not overfill.

Operating Instructions

  1. Power On: Press the "ON/OFF" button to start the ice-making process. The indicator light will illuminate.
  2. Ice Production: The machine will begin producing ice. The first batch of nugget ice typically takes about 6-10 minutes.

  3. Ice Full Indicator: The "Ice Full" indicator light will illuminate when the ice basket is full, and the machine will automatically pause ice production. Once ice is removed, production will resume.
  4. Add Water Indicator: If the "Add Water" indicator light illuminates, the water reservoir is low. Refill the reservoir to continue ice production.
  5. Storing Ice: The ice maker is not a refrigerator and does not keep ice frozen indefinitely. It is recommended to transfer the produced ice to a freezer for long-term storage.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your FOHERE Nugget Ice Maker, especially if using hard water.

  1. Self-Cleaning Function:
    • Quick Clean (5 mins): Press the "CLEAN" button for 1 second.
    • Deep Clean (30 mins): Press and hold the "CLEAN" button for about 3 seconds.
    This function circulates water through the system to help remove mineral buildup. For best results, use a descaling solution or a mixture of water and vinegar during the deep clean cycle.
  2. Draining Water: After cleaning or when storing the unit, ensure all water is drained from the reservoir. Locate the drain plug at the bottom of the unit and remove it to empty the water.

    Video: This video demonstrates the self-cleaning function and how to properly drain the ice maker after use or cleaning.

  3. External Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  4. Frequency: It is recommended to clean your ice maker every two weeks or more frequently, depending on water hardness and usage.
