Additional Important Safeguards

Operating Safety Precautions

• DO NOT touch the Evaporator while the unit is in use or during the ice making process. This could cause severe burns.
• DO NOT clean unit with flammable liquids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Check Ice Hopper for presence of foreign objects prior to use.
• DO NOT turn unit upside down while in use, or when filled with ice.

Instructions for the Electrical Cord and Plug

• 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.
• A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled or tripping over a long cord.
• If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
  • Extension cords can be used if care is exercised in their use.
  • 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.

Parts & Assembly

The ice maker unit includes:

• LED Control Panel
• Clear Lid
• Ventilation
• Water Reservoir
• Water Drain Plug
• Ice Scoop
• Ice Basket

LED Control Panel Explanation:

• ADD WATER = illuminates when time to add water to Water Reservoir

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. 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 mark. Drain excess water via the Water Drain Plug if necessary.
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. For room temperatures below 60°F (16°C), select small-sized cubes to prevent sticking.
4. Each ice-making cycle lasts 6 to 15 minutes, depending on cube size and ambient temperature.
5. Periodically check the water level. If the pump cannot inject water, the unit stops automatically, and the Add Water light illuminates.
6. If the water level is low, press POWER to turn OFF, fill water to the MAX level, and press POWER again to turn ON.
7. The unit stops automatically when the Ice Basket is full, and the ICE FULL light illuminates.
8. Change the water in the Water Reservoir every 24 hours for hygiene. If not in use, drain all water.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If power is disconnected during an 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 evaporator fingers. Empty the Water Tray and wait three minutes before restarting.

⚠️ 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: Turn off the unit, add water, and press POWER to restart.
• There may be too much ice: Turn off the Ice Maker, remove some ice from the Ice Basket.

Ice Cubes Stick Together

• Ice cycle may be too long: Stop the Ice Maker, restart when cubes melt. Select smaller sized ice cubes using the SELECT button.
• Water temperature in the Water 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:
  • Ambient or water temperature may be too high. Unit must be in an environment below 90°F. Try pouring colder water (45°F - 90°F).
  • If changing water or cooling the unit doesn't work, there may be a refrigerant leak or a blocked cooling system pipe. Take to a qualified technician.

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.
