PRODUCT STRUCTURE
FUNCTION AND OPERATION
Before First Use:
- Unpack Portable Ice Maker and check “Parts and Features” to make sure all parts were included.
- Clean interior with clean cloth or sponge with hot, soapy water before starting the device for the first time.
- Place Portable Ice Maker on a dry, flat surface away from any walls and direct sunlight.
- Allow one hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging the cord into an electrical outlet for the first time.
How to Make Ice:
- Open the transparent lid to 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 any excess water by removing the water drain plug.
- Under the running state, press the [ON/OFF Button] to switch ON, the ice maker will enter Standby mode and the yellow indicator light will be on.
- Under the running state, select Energy saving mode or Standard mode to make ice. Detailed operations are as follow:
- Press the [Set Button] for the first time to switch to Energy saving mode, and the green indicator light will be on.
- Press the [Set Button] for the second time to switch to Standard ice making mode, and the blue indicator light will be on.
- Press the [Set Button] for the third time to switch to the Standby mode, and the yellow indicator light will be on.
- When the ice basket is full, the buzzer will make a long beep.
- In Energy saving mode, the ice maker will stop running and the yellow indicator light will be on when the ice basket is full.
- In Standard mode, the blue indicator light will continue to be on and the ice maker will make ice circularly.
- When the reservoir is low in water the red indicator light will turn on and the buzzer will sound every 10 seconds.
Simple Operating Instructions

BATTERY OPERATION
Battery Models and Specifications
| Battery Model | Capacity | Rated Voltage | Charging Limited Voltage | Max Charging Current |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GH-2051 | 7.8AH | 11.1V | 12.6V | 4A |
| GH-2053 | 15.6AH | 11.V | 12.6V | 4A |
⚠️ WARNING: Each ice maker has an internal battery charger to ensure the battery is charged safely and correctly. It is recommended that the battery is charged by installing it into the ice maker first, then connecting the ice maker to the optional mains adapter or the car charger. The optional mains adapter or car charger CANNOT be connected directly to the battery, as this could damage the battery or cause fire. There is an optional battery charger, which is designed ONLY to charge the battery when it is not installed in the ice maker. Do not disassemble, impact, squeeze, crush, or throw or misuse the battery, do not dispose of in fire, any of which may result in short circuit and fire or explosion. If there is swelling and heating of the battery do not continue to use, it may result in fire or explosion, do not use the battery if it is wet or damp.
Battery Charging
All data below based on 15.6AH battery:
Note: When the ice maker is running, the power is mainly used for the compressor operation, and the charging is relatively slow. If you need to charge quickly, please charge the ice maker in the standby mode. The charging input power should be higher than the working power (about 65-75W) of the ice maker, or switch off the power button to put the ice maker into standby mode, otherwise the battery will gradually run out.
Discharging time (for reference only): When the battery is fully charged, the ice maker can be used continuously for 2.5 hours. When the battery is not in use, unplug or turn off the battery to prevent the battery from self-discharging.
