Regular Cleaning:

• Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ice maker, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Ice Production: Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure there is sufficient water in the tank. Verify that the ice basket is not full.
