Important Safeguards

Read all instructions before operating this appliance. Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles or knobs. This appliance is not a toy. Unsupervised young children and individuals with cognitive limitations should never operate this appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or any part of the unit in water or other liquids. Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before removing parts, and before cleaning. Allow the unit to cool before handling parts or cleaning. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged. Return the appliance to the nearest repair shop. The manufacturer does not recommend accessory attachments other than those provided. Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use. For household use only; do not use outdoors. Do not place on or near hot surfaces. Do not let the cord hang over edges or touch hot surfaces. Never leave the unit unattended while in use or plugged in. Use extreme caution when moving an appliance containing hot food. Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn controls to "off," then remove the plug from the wall outlet.

Additional Important Safeguards

• Do not touch the Evaporator during operation or ice making; this could cause severe burns.
• Do not clean with flammable liquids, as fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Check the ice basket and water reservoir for foreign objects before use.
• Do not turn the unit upside down while in use or when filled with ice.

Electrical Cord and Plug Instructions

The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) for electrical shock risk reduction. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce entanglement risks. If a longer cord or extension cord is used, ensure its electrical rating is at least as great as the appliance's, and that it does not drape where it can be pulled or tripped over.

How to Operate

Before First Use:

1. Follow the steps in CLEANING & MAINTENANCE.
2. Place the unit on a flat, level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure at least six inches of clearance on all sides.
3. Allow one hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging in for the first time.

Using Your Ice Cube Maker:

1. Ensure the Water Drain Plug is inserted.
2. Open the Clear Lid, remove the Ice Basket, and pour water into the Water Reservoir, keeping the level below the MAX mark. Drain excess water if needed using the Water Drain Plug.
3. Replace the Ice Basket and close the Clear Lid.
4. Press the ON/OFF button on the LED Control Panel to start the ice-making cycle. The unit will automatically start making ice after 20 minutes if not manually restarted after filling.
5. Select the desired ice cube size (S for small, L for large) using the SELECT button. For room temperatures below 60°F (16°C), small cubes are recommended to prevent sticking.
6. Each ice-making cycle takes 7 to 15 minutes, depending on cube size and ambient temperature.
7. Monitor the water level. If the pump cannot draw water, the unit will stop automatically, and the Add Water light will illuminate.
8. When the water level is low, turn the unit OFF, refill to the MAX level, and turn it back ON.
9. The unit stops automatically when the Ice Basket is full, indicated by the ICE FULL light.
10. Change the water in the Water Reservoir every 24 hours for hygiene. Drain the reservoir when the unit is not in use. Refer to the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section for deeper cleaning.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If power is disconnected or LED lights blink during the cycle, press ON/OFF to stop. Unplug the unit, let it warm up for a few minutes to allow ice to fall, empty the Water Tray, and wait three minutes before restarting.

CAUTION: Do not touch the Evaporator during operation or ice making, as this can cause severe burns.

Helpful Tips

Add Water Indicator:

• If the Add Water Indicator lights up, turn off the unit, add water, and restart.
• Ensure there isn't too much ice in the basket; remove some if necessary.

Ice Cubes Stick Together:

• If the ice cycle is too long, stop and restart when cubes melt. Select smaller cubes.
• If the water temperature is too low, change the water. Maintain room temperature between 45°F - 90°F.

Ice Maker Not Working:

• If the ice-making cycle runs but no ice is produced, check ambient or water temperature. The unit should be in an environment below 90°F. Try using colder water (45°F - 90°F).
• If changing water or cooling doesn't help, there might be a refrigerant leak or a blocked cooling system pipe. Contact a qualified technician.

LED Lights:

• Blinking LED lights may indicate a power disruption. Press ON/OFF to stop the cycle, unplug, let the unit warm up, empty the water tray, and wait three minutes before restarting.
