How to Operate

Before First Use:

1. Follow the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE steps.
2. Place the unit 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 the 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 level below the MAX mark. Drain excess water using the Water Drain Plug if necessary.
2. Press the POWER button on the LED Control Panel to start the ice-making cycle.
3. Select the desired ice cube size by pressing the SELECT button. For room temperatures below 60°F (16°C), small or medium cubes are recommended to prevent sticking.
4. Each ice-making cycle takes 6 to 15 minutes, depending on cube size and ambient temperature.
5. Periodically check the water level. If the pump cannot draw water, the unit will stop automatically, and the Add Water light will illuminate.
6. If the water level is low, turn the unit OFF, fill to the MAX level mark, and press POWER to restart.
7. The unit stops automatically when the Ice Basket is full, indicated by the ICE FULL light.
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 the 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 use or ice making, as this can cause severe burns.

Helpful Tips

Add Water Indicator:

• If the Add Water Indicator lights up, turn off the unit, add water, and press POWER to restart.
• There might be too much ice. Turn off the unit, remove some ice from the basket.

Ice Cubes Stick Together:

• The ice cycle may be too long. Stop and restart the Ice Maker 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:

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

LED Lights:

• Blinking LED lights may indicate a power disruption. Press POWER to stop the cycle. Let the unit sit for a few minutes to warm up, allowing ice to fall. Empty the water tray and wait three minutes before restarting.
