Adjusting Ice Size (Thickness)

The ice maker allows for 10 levels of adjustable ice thickness. This is achieved by controlling the ice-making duration.

• During the ice-making cycle, use the Adjust Plus (+) or Adjust Minus (-) buttons to increase or decrease the ice-making time.
• Each press adjusts the time by approximately 1 minute, within a range of -5 to +5 minutes from the default setting.
• A shorter duration results in thinner ice, while a longer duration produces thicker ice.

Using the 24-Hour Timer

The 24-hour timer function allows you to schedule ice production in advance.

• Press the Timer Button.
• Use the Adjust Plus (+) or Adjust Minus (-) buttons to set the desired delay time (up to 24 hours) before the ice making cycle begins.
• The display will show the countdown. Once the timer reaches zero, the ice maker will start producing ice.
