Setup

1. Unpacking and Placement

• Remove all packaging materials and inspect the ice maker for any damage.
• Place the ice maker on a flat, stable surface, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure there is at least 5 inches of clearance around the unit for proper ventilation.
• Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 1 hour before plugging it in, especially if it was transported horizontally. This allows the refrigerant to settle.

2. Initial Cleaning

• Before first use, clean the interior of the ice maker. Remove the ice basket and wash it with warm water and a mild detergent.
• Wipe the interior with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a small amount of vinegar or mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
• Dry all parts completely before reassembling.

3. Filling the Water Tank

• Open the top lid and fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.
• Close the lid securely.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On and Ice Size Selection

• Plug the ice maker into a grounded electrical outlet.
• Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the appliance. The power indicator will illuminate.
• Press the SELECT button to choose your desired ice cube size: SMALL or LARGE. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate.

2. Ice Making Process

• The ice maker will begin the ice production cycle automatically. The first batch of ice typically takes 6-10 minutes, depending on the selected size and ambient temperature.
• The ice will drop into the ice basket.

3. Indicator Lights

• ADD WATER: This indicator will light up when the water reservoir is low. Add more potable water to continue ice production.
• ICE FULL: This indicator will light up when the ice basket is full. The ice maker will automatically pause production. Remove ice from the basket to resume operation.

4. Interior Lighting

5. Bullet Ice Characteristics

The bullet-shaped ice produced by this machine is designed to melt slowly, keeping your beverages chilled longer without excessive dilution. Two sizes are available for different uses:

• Small Ice: Ideal for juices, coffee, and soda.
• Large Ice: Suitable for whisky, chilling seafood, or use in ice packs.
