Operating Procedures & Maintenance

Unpacking Your Ice Maker

1. Remove all exterior and interior packaging. Verify the ice basket and ice scoop are included. Contact customer service at 888-775-0202 if any part is missing.
2. Clean the interior with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Wash the ice basket in warm water.
3. Choose a location protected from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., stove, furnace, radiator). Place the unit on a level surface, ensuring at least 5 inches of space between the back/sides and the wall, and 8 inches at the top.
4. Allow one hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging in the unit.
5. Ensure the appliance is positioned so the power plug is accessible.

Connecting Your Ice Maker

DANGER: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, call customer service at 888-775-0202.

1. This unit requires proper grounding for safety, featuring a three-prong plug for standard grounded wall outlets.
2. Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Never cut or remove the third (ground) prong. Consult a certified electrician for any power or grounding concerns.
3. The appliance requires a standard 115 volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with a three-prong ground.

It is strongly recommended to clean the ice maker thoroughly before use.

Note: The ice maker is not designed for outdoor installation (e.g., garage, porch). Ambient temperatures below 45°F or above 90°F will negatively impact performance.

How to Clean

1. Remove the ice basket.
2. Turn the drain cap counter-clockwise to drain water.
3. Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth.
4. Clean the exterior regularly with a mild detergent solution and warm water.
5. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
6. Close the drain cap.
7. When the machine is not in use, open the water drain cap to drain the water reservoir completely.

Care and Maintenance

• Clean the ice maker on a regular basis (refer to "How to Clean").
• Ensure adequate ventilation space around the unit (minimum 5 inches at the rear and sides, 8 inches at the top) for proper performance, heat dissipation, efficiency, and low power consumption.
• Plug the appliance into a properly grounded 115V/60 Hz outlet.
• Do not modify the power cord to bypass grounding.
• Keep the power cord away from the compressor to prevent heat damage.
• Avoid installing the ice maker where it may contact water or moisture to prevent rusting of metal parts.
• Do not install near heat sources or in direct sunlight.

Using Your Ice Maker

1. Clean your ice maker thoroughly.
2. Open the lid, remove the ice basket, and pour fresh tap water into the tank. Keep the water level below the bottom of the ice basket.
3. Plug in the unit; the medium ice cubes indicator light will blink.
4. Press "Start" on the control panel to begin the ice making cycle. The medium ice cube indicator light will illuminate.
5. Select the desired ice cube size using the "Select" button. If the ambient temperature is below 60°F, it is recommended to select small or medium size to prevent ice sticking.
6. The ice making cycle typically lasts 7 to 14 minutes, depending on ambient temperature and selected ice size.
7. If the water level in the tank is low while the ice maker is operating, it will stop working, and the "Add water" indicator light will turn on. Fill the water storage tank, and the ice maker will resume automatically.
8. The ice maker automatically stops when the ice basket is full, and the "Ice" indicator will be illuminated.
9. Change the water in the reservoir every 24 hours for hygiene. Drain the tank reservoir if the unit is not in use.
10. When reinstalling the ice basket, push it down to its original position, ensuring the temperature sensor is above the basket for proper operation.
