Important: Before Using Your Portable Ice Maker for the First Time
- Do not turn this device upside down, as this may damage the compressor.
- Place device on a flat level surface. Allow 6" of space on the top, back and sides for proper ventilation.
- Let the device sit for at least 2 hours, with the front lid open.
Control Panel Operation
ON/OFF: Turns unit ON or OFF.
ICE FULL: This light will come on with a “BEEP-BEEP” noise when the ice has reached the maximum capacity of the storage cabinet. Remove ice with the scoop and press ON/OFF to resume ice making.
ICE: This light will turn solid green when the ice is being made.
ADD WATER: This light will come on with a long “BEEP” noise when the reservoir is empty. If you wish to make more ice, turn the device off, add water and turn it back on.
Operating Instructions
- Open the lid and fill the reservoir with water. Use clean, potable water only. Make sure the water level in the water reservoir is not over the ice collecting tray.
- Plug the device into an AC outlet.
- Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on. The ice maker begins to work and the ICE button will light up constant green.
- The first batch of ice will be ready in approximately 10 minutes. For the first three cycles, the ice may be small and irregular in size. This is normal. Due to fast freezing, ice cubes may appear "Cloudy." This is air trapped in the water and will not affect quality or taste of ice.
Important: If there is water in the reservoir but no ice is being made, there may be air in the line. Remove the rubber stopper to let a few drops of water out. The rubber stopper is accessible from inside the reservoir.
- When the ice tray is full, you will hear a “BEEP-BEEP” noise, and the ICE FULL light will illuminate. Please remove some ice with the scoop. Press ON/OFF to resume making ice. Do not allow the ice tray to overfill.
- Although this unit makes ice, it is NOT a freezer. Ice that is left in this device will melt and then be re-frozen. You must remove the ice as it is made, and store it in a freezer or cooler. If the compressor stops for any reason such as water shortage, too much ice, power failure, etc. do not start the system right away. Wait 3 minutes, and then re-start the ice maker.
CAUTION: It is normal for the compressor and condenser surface to become warm or hot. Please exercise caution, and make sure there is proper ventilation (at least 6" around the top, back and sides).
CAUTION: This device is not a toy. Keep out of reach of children at all times.
Care and Maintenance
- Wipe the inside and allow to air dry thoroughly after every use.
- Do not allow water to stagnate inside the device.
- Clean the interior with a diluted solution of water and vinegar.
- Do not immerse in water.
- Do not spray ice maker with chemicals.
- Rinse thoroughly before starting. Remove the rubber stopper and allow excess water to drain out the bottom.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Suggested Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| “ADD WATER” light is on. | 1. Water level too low. 2. There is air in the line. | 1. Press the ON/OFF button, fill reservoir with water. Wait 3 minutes and press the ON/OFF button to restart. When the water has reached the fill line, the ice maker will restart automatically. 2. Remove the rubber stopper and let several drops water runs out. |
| The ice cubes are too large / ice cubes are sticking together. | Ice from previous cycles is left in the water tray. | Turn the unit OFF and allow ice in the system to melt. |
| The "ICE FULL” and “ADD WATER” lights are on simultaneously. | Water tray is blocked by an ice cube. | Clear the ice cube from under the ice shovel. Remove the plug from the AC outlet and plug it back in. Press the "ON/OFF” button. The machine will restart within two minutes. |
