2. Ice Production Cycle: The ice maker will begin producing nugget ice. The first batch typically takes about 6-10 minutes.

4. Add Water Indicator: If the water level is too low, the 'Add Water' indicator light will illuminate, and the machine will pause. Add more water to resume operation.
5. Continuous Operation: The ice maker features auto-continuous ice making. Ice production halts when the basket is full and resumes approximately 30 minutes after the ice level drops.

6.3 Descaling

To prevent mineral buildup and maintain ice quality, descale your machine every 3-4 months, or if your ice starts appearing cloudy. Use a dedicated ice machine cleaner and descaler. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully, typically involving running a cleaning solution through the machine and then discarding the first few batches of ice.
