Setup

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging. Remove all protective film and packaging materials.
  2. Placement: Place the ice maker on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure there is at least 5 inches of space around the unit for proper ventilation.
  3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, it is recommended to run a self-cleaning cycle. Fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the MAX line. Press and hold the 'Ice/Clean' button for 5 seconds to activate the self-cleaning mode. Once complete, drain the water using the drain plug at the bottom of the unit.
  4. Add Water: Open the lid and pour potable water into the reservoir up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.

Operating Instructions

  1. Start Ice Production: After adding water, press the 'Ice/Clean' button briefly. The indicator light will turn white, signifying that ice production has started. The first batch of nugget ice will be ready in approximately 7 minutes.
  2. Retrieve Ice: Once the 'Ice Full' indicator light illuminates, the ice basket is full. Open the lid and use the provided scoop to retrieve the ice. The ice basket is detachable for easy serving.
  3. Continuous Ice Making: The ice maker will continue to produce ice as long as there is water in the reservoir and the ice basket is not full. If ice melts, the water will drain back into the reservoir for reuse.
  4. Self-Cleaning Function: To activate the self-cleaning mode, press and hold the 'Ice/Clean' button for 5 seconds. The unit will run a cleaning cycle for about 15 minutes.

Maintenance

  1. Regular Cleaning: Perform the self-cleaning cycle regularly (e.g., once a week or as needed) to prevent mineral buildup. For a deeper clean, use a solution of white vinegar and water (50/50 ratio) in the self-cleaning cycle, then run a cycle with fresh water to rinse.
  2. Drain Water: After cleaning or when storing the unit, ensure all water is drained from the reservoir using the drain plug located at the bottom.
  3. Clean Ice Basket and Scoop: Wash the ice basket and scoop with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before placing back into the unit.
  4. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the ice maker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
