Important Safeguards

Read all instructions before operating. Do not touch hot surfaces. This appliance is not a toy. Unsupervised children and individuals with cognitive limitations should not operate. Close supervision is necessary when used by or near children. Do not immerse the cord, plug, or unit in water or other liquids. Unplug when not in use, before removing parts, and before cleaning. Allow to cool before handling parts or cleaning. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance malfunctions or is damaged; return to nearest repair shop. Manufacturer does not recommend accessory attachments. Do not use outdoors; for household use only. Do not place near heat sources. Do not let the cord hang over edges or touch hot surfaces. Never leave unattended while in use or plugged in. Use extreme caution when moving an appliance with hot food. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn to "off" then remove plug from outlet.

Additional Important Safeguards

Operating Safety Precautions: Do not touch the Evaporator during use or ice making (risk of severe burns). Do not clean with flammable liquids. Check Ice Hopper for foreign objects. Do not turn unit upside down while in use or 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; it fits a polarized outlet only one way. If it doesn't fit, reverse it. If it still doesn't fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug. A short power supply cord reduces entanglement/tripping risk. If using an extension cord, 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. Use in countries not supporting 120V AC is not recommended, even with adapters.

Parts & Assembly

Before first use, remove all packaging and follow cleaning steps.

Diagram Description: The ice maker unit features a clear lid, ventilation slots, a water reservoir, a water drain plug, an ice scoop, and an ice basket. The LED Control Panel is located on the front.

LED Control Panel Functions:

• ADD WATER: Illuminates when water needs to be added to the Water Reservoir.
• ICE FULL: Illuminates when the Ice Basket is full.
• S: Indicator for small ice cubes.
• L: Indicator for large ice cubes.
• SELECT: Press to choose the ice cube size.
• POWER: Press to turn the unit ON/OFF.

How to Operate

Before First Use:

1. Follow Cleaning & Maintenance steps.
2. Place on a flat, level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure at least four inches of empty space on all sides.
3. Allow one hour for refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging in 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 below the MAX level mark. Drain excess water via the Water Drain Plug if needed.
2. Press the POWER button on the LED Control Panel to start the ice-making cycle.
3. Select the desired ice cube size using the SELECT button. For room temperatures below 60°F (16°C), small cubes are recommended to prevent sticking.
4. Each cycle takes 6 to 15 minutes, depending on cube size and room temperature. Hotter temperatures may increase time.
5. Periodically check the water level. If the pump cannot supply water, the unit stops automatically, and the Add Water light illuminates.
6. If water level is low, turn OFF the unit, fill to MAX level, and press POWER to restart.
7. The unit stops automatically when the Ice Basket is full, and the ICE FULL light illuminates.
8. Change water in the Water Reservoir every 24 hours for hygiene. If not in use, drain all water.

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

Warning: 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 is on:

• Turn off the unit, add water, and press POWER to restart.
• There might be too much ice. Turn off the unit and remove some ice from the basket.

Ice Cubes Stick Together:

If ice cycles are too long, stop and restart when cubes melt. Select smaller cube size.

Water temperature in the reservoir may be too low. Change water. Room temperature should be between 45°F - 90°F.

Ice Maker Not Working:

If the cycle runs but no ice is made:

• Ambient or water temperature may be too high. Unit requires environment below 90°F. Use colder water (45°F - 90°F).
• If changing water or cooling doesn't work, there might be a refrigerant leak or blocked cooling system pipe. Contact a qualified technician.

LED Lights:

If LED lights blink, there may be a power disruption. Press POWER to stop the cycle, let the unit warm up, empty the water tray, and wait three minutes before restarting.
