Electrical Cord and Plug Instructions:

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

• If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used: Extension cords can be used if care is exercised. The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. When using a longer cord or extension cord, make sure that the cord does not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on or tripped over unintentionally.
• The manufacturer does not recommend using this machine in countries that do not support 120V AC, even if a voltage adapter, transformer, or converter is in use.

How to Operate

Before First Use:

1. Follow the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE steps before using this unit.
2. Place the unit on a flat, level surface protected from direct sunlight and other heat sources (e.g., stove, furnace, radiator). Ensure at least four inches of empty space on all sides of the unit.
3. Allow one hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging the cord into an electrical outlet for the first time.

Using Your Ice Cube Maker:

1. Open the Clear Lid, remove the Ice Basket, and pour water into the Water Reservoir. Keep the water level below the MAX level mark. If water levels exceed the MAX level mark, drain excess water by removing the Water Drain Plug.
2. Press the POWER button on the LED Control Panel to begin the ice-making cycle.
3. Select the desired ice cube size by pressing the SELECT button. If the room temperature is lower than 60°F (16°C), it is recommended to select the small-sized ice cubes to prevent them from sticking together.
4. Each ice-making cycle lasts 6 to 15 minutes, depending on the selected ice cube size and the ambient room temperature. In extremely hot temperatures, ice-making time may vary considerably.
5. While the ice maker is on, periodically check the water level. If the water pump is unable to pump water, the unit will stop automatically, and the Add Water light will illuminate.
6. If the water level is low, press the POWER button to turn the unit OFF, fill water up to the MAX level mark, and press the POWER button again to turn the unit ON.
7. The unit automatically stops working when the Ice Basket is full, and the ICE FULL light will illuminate.
8. To ensure a reasonable hygiene level, change the water in the Water Reservoir every 24 hours. If the unit is not in use, drain all water left in the Water Reservoir.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that the power is disconnected during the ice-making cycle or that the LED lights on the Control Panel are blinking, press the POWER button to stop the ice-making cycle. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Allow the unit to sit for a few minutes to warm up and allow ice to fall from the evaporator fingers. Empty the Water Tray and wait three minutes before restarting the unit.

! DO NOT touch the Evaporator while the unit is in use or during the ice-making process. This could cause severe burns.

Helpful Tips

Add Water Indicator:

• If the Add Water Indicator comes on, try the following: Turn off the unit, add water, and press the POWER button again to restart the unit.
• There may be too much ice. Turn off the Ice Maker, remove some ice from the Ice Basket.

Ice Cubes Stick Together:

• The ice cycle may be too long. Stop the Ice Maker, then restart it when the ice cubes melt. Select the smaller sized ice cubes using the SELECT button.
• The water temperature in the Water Reservoir may be too low. Change the water in the Water Reservoir. The room temperature should be between 45°F - 90°F.

Ice Maker Not Working:

• If the ice-making cycle seems to be running properly, but no ice is being made, try the following: The ambient temperature or water temperature in the Water Reservoir may be too high. The unit must be in an environment below 90°F. Try pouring colder water (between 45°F - 90°F) into the Water Reservoir.
• If changing the water or allowing the unit to cool does not work, there may be a leakage of the refrigerant fluid, or a pipe in the cooling system may be blocked. Please take your ice maker to a qualified technician for repair.

LED Lights:

• If the LED lights on the Control Panel are blinking, there may be a disruption in the power source. Press the POWER button to stop the ice-making cycle. Let the ice maker sit for several minutes to warm up and allow ice to fall from the evaporator fingers. Empty the Water Tray and wait three minutes before restarting the unit.
