Adjusting Ice Thickness

The FOHERE Ice Maker allows you to select from three ice thickness levels to suit your preference:

• Thin Ice (approx. 10 min): Ideal for milk, tea, and other light beverages.
• Medium Ice (approx. 12 min): Suitable for whisky, cocktails, and mixology.
• Thick Ice (approx. 15 min): Best for spirits and applications requiring slower melting.

To adjust the thickness, press and hold the "+" or "-" button for 3 seconds until the desired thickness is selected on the control panel.

Using the Timer Function

The programmable timer allows you to schedule ice production to have fresh ice exactly when needed.

1. While the machine is in standby mode, press and hold the "Timer" button (often represented by a clock icon) for 3 seconds.
2. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to set the desired delay time for the machine to start or stop.
3. The ice maker will automatically begin or end production after the set time.

Automatic Defrost Function

The integrated automatic defrost function ensures that ice cubes fall individually and prevents them from sticking together, providing perfect ice every time.

Smart Infrared Sensor

The intelligent infrared sensor automatically stops ice production when the ice basket is full and restarts when the ice level is low, saving time and ensuring continuous supply.
