Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the ice maker from its packaging. Remove all packing materials, tape, and any protective film.
2. Placement: Place the ice maker on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit (at least 4 inches of space on all sides). Do not place it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, perform a self-cleaning cycle. Refer to the "Maintenance" section for detailed instructions.
4. Fill Water Reservoir: Open the top lid and fill the water reservoir with potable water up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.
5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet (120V).

Operating Instructions

1. Start Ice Production: After filling the water reservoir and plugging in the unit, press the ON/OFF button on the control panel to begin ice production. The "Ice" indicator light will illuminate.
2. First Batch: The ice maker will produce its first batch of nugget ice in approximately 7 minutes.
3. Continuous Production: The unit can produce up to 35 pounds of ice per day under optimal conditions. It will continue to make ice as long as there is water in the reservoir and the ice basket is not full.
4. Indicator Lights:
   • "Ice Full" Indicator: This light illuminates when the ice basket is full. The ice maker will pause production until some ice is removed. If ice blocks the dispenser, manually remove it to prevent the machine from stopping prematurely.
   • "Add Water" Indicator: This light illuminates when the water reservoir is low. Refill the reservoir with potable water, and the ice production will resume automatically.
5. Collecting Ice: Use the provided ice scoop to retrieve ice from the detachable ice basket.
