4.2 Making Ice

1. Ensure the water reservoir is filled.
2. Press the Power Button (right side) to turn on the machine.
3. The ice maker will automatically begin the ice production cycle. Four 2-inch ice balls are typically ready in approximately 40 minutes.
4. The machine will continue to produce ice until the ice storage capacity is reached or the water level is low.

4.3 Ice Storage

The ice maker has a storage capacity of approximately 30-40 ice balls. The machine is designed to keep ice cold longer through adaptive cooling and high-density PU foam insulation, but it is not a freezer. For long-term storage, transfer ice balls to a freezer.

4.4 Water Quality for Clear Ice

The clarity of the ice balls can be influenced by the quality of the water used. For best results and crystal-clear ice, distilled water is recommended. Filtered water also produces good results, while tap water may result in cloudier ice with more bubbles.
