Setup

1. Placement

Place the ice maker on a stable, level surface. Ensure there is adequate space (several inches) on the sides and back of the unit for proper ventilation. This is crucial for the appliance's cooling system and efficient operation.

2. Initial Cleaning

Before first use, it is recommended to perform a self-cleaning cycle. Refer to the "Maintenance" section for detailed instructions on using the self-cleaning function.

3. Add Water

Open the top lid and fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the maximum fill line. The unit does not connect to an external water source, so manual refilling is required.

2. Descaling

To prevent mineral buildup, especially in hard water areas, descaling is recommended:

• Moderately Hard Water Areas: Descale once a month.
• Hard to Very Hard Water Areas: Descale every two or three weeks.

Consult your local water provider for information on water hardness in your area.

3. Water Recycling System

The ice maker features a closed-loop system that reuses melted ice, ensuring maximum water efficiency and continuous ice production. This design minimizes water waste and the need for frequent refills.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ice maker, please refer to the following common solutions:

• No Ice Production: Check if the water reservoir is filled and if the ICE button has been pressed. Ensure the unit is plugged in and receiving power.
• "ADD WATER" Indicator On: Refill the water reservoir to the maximum fill line.
• "ICE FULL" Indicator On: Empty the ice basket. The machine will resume ice production automatically.
• Ice Melts Quickly: This ice maker is not a freezer. Ice will melt over time. The melted water is recycled. For long-term storage, transfer ice to a freezer.
• Unusual Noise: Ensure the unit is on a stable, level surface. Check for any obstructions in the ice-making mechanism.
• Poor Ice Quality: Perform a self-cleaning cycle and consider descaling if you are in a hard water area. Use filtered or distilled water for best results.
