Additional Important Safeguards

Operating Safety Precautions:

• DO NOT touch the Evaporator while the unit is in use or during ice making; this can cause severe burns.
• DO NOT clean with flammable liquids, as fumes can create fire or explosion hazards.
• Check the ice hopper for foreign objects before use.
• DO NOT turn the unit upside down while in use or when filled with ice.

Instructions for the Electrical Cord and Plug:

• The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) for reduced electrical shock risk. It is designed to fit a polarized outlet in only one way. If the plug does not fit fully, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug.
• A short power supply cord reduces the risk of entanglement or tripping.
• If using a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord: Use with care. Ensure the cord's electrical rating is at least as great as the appliance's. Make sure the cord does not drape where it can be pulled on or tripped over.
• The manufacturer does not recommend using this machine in countries not supporting 120V AC, even with adapters.

How to Operate

Before First Use:

1. Follow the steps under CLEANING & MAINTENANCE before using this unit.
2. Place the unit on a flat, level surface protected from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., stove, furnace, radiator). Ensure at least four inches of empty space on all sides.
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 water level below the MAX level mark. If levels exceed the MAX mark, drain excess water using 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's recommended to select small-sized cubes to prevent sticking.
4. Each ice-making cycle lasts 6 to 15 minutes, depending on cube size and ambient temperature. In very hot temperatures, ice-making time may vary considerably.
5. While the ice maker is on, check the water level periodically. If the water pump cannot 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 ON the unit.
7. The unit automatically stops when the Ice Basket is full, and the ICE FULL light will illuminate.
8. To ensure hygiene, change the water in the Water Reservoir every 24 hours. If the unit is not in use, drain all water from the reservoir.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If power is disconnected during the ice-making cycle or LED lights blink, press POWER to stop the cycle. Unplug the unit. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to warm up and let ice fall from the evaporator fingers. Empty the Water Tray and wait three minutes before restarting.

⚠ Safety Warning: DO NOT touch the Evaporator while the unit is in use or during the ice making process, as this could cause severe burns.

Helpful Tips

Add Water Indicator:

• If the Add Water Indicator comes on, try turning off the unit, adding water, and pressing POWER to restart.
• There may be too much ice; turn off the Ice Maker and remove some ice from the Ice Basket.

Ice Cubes Stick Together:

• The ice cycle may be too long; stop the Ice Maker and restart when cubes melt. Select smaller ice cubes using the SELECT button.
• Water temperature in the reservoir may be too low; change the water. Room temperature should be between 45°F - 90°F.

Ice Maker Not Working:

• If the ice-making cycle runs but no ice is made, the ambient or water temperature may be too high. The unit needs to be in an environment below 90°F. Try pouring colder water (between 45°F - 90°F) into the reservoir.
• If changing water or cooling the unit doesn't work, there might be a refrigerant leak or a blocked cooling system pipe. Contact a qualified technician for repair.

LED Lights:

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