Adding Water:
The ecozy ice maker features a patented anti-overflow system for easy and spill-free water refilling.
- Open the water inlet cover.
- Pour potable water directly into the water reservoir up to the 'MAX' fill line. Do not overfill.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| "ADD WATER" indicator light is on. | Water reservoir is empty or low. | Add potable water to the reservoir up to the MAX line. |
| "ICE FULL" indicator light is on. | Ice basket is full. | Remove ice from the basket. The unit will resume ice production. |
| Ice is not forming or is very thin. | Ambient temperature is too high; water temperature is too high; insufficient water. | Ensure the unit is in a cool environment. Use cold water. Check water level. |
| Unit is noisy during operation. | Normal operation sounds (compressor, water pump). | This is normal. If sounds are excessive or unusual, contact support. |
| Ice cubes are sticking together. | Ice is melting and refreezing; unit is in a warm environment. | Transfer ice to a freezer immediately after production. Ensure proper ventilation. |
