4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging. Retain packaging materials for future transport or storage.

3. Stabilization Period: After transport, allow the ice maker to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant liquid to settle, ensuring efficient operation.

   • Fill the water reservoir with clean, potable water.
   • Plug in the appliance.
   • Press and hold the "ON/OFF" button for 5 seconds to activate the self-cleaning function (refer to Section 6 for details).
   • After the cleaning cycle, drain the water and discard the first 3-4 batches of ice produced to ensure any manufacturing residues are cleared.

5. Operating Instructions

Making Ice:

1. Add Water: Open the lid and fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.
