Using Your Ice Maker

Unpacking Your Ice Maker

1. Remove all exterior and interior packaging. Check if the ice basket and ice scoop are inside. If any parts are missing, please contact customer service.
2. Remove any tapes securing the ice shovel, ice basket, and ice scoop. Clean the tank and ice basket.
3. Place the ice maker on a level and flat countertop, away from direct sunlight and other heat sources (e.g., stove, furnace, radiator). Ensure there is at least a 4-inch gap between the back of the unit and the wall, and a 4-inch clearance on each side.
4. Allow one hour for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging the ice maker in.
5. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

WARNING: Fill with potable water only. Only use drinking water.

Connecting Your Ice Maker

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, please call customer service.

1. This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong plug that mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electric shock.
2. Plug your appliance into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician.
3. This appliance requires a standard 110-120volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with a three-prong ground.

Cleaning and Maintaining Your Ice Maker

Before using your ice maker, it is strongly recommended to clean it thoroughly.

1. Take out the ice basket.
2. Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth.
3. Rinse the inside parts with water and drain the water by unplugging the drain cap on the front bottom side.
4. The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent solution and warm water.
5. Dry the interior and exterior with a clean soft cloth.
6. When the machine is not to be used for a long time, drain all water completely and dry the interior.

Ice Making Process

1. Open the cover, remove the ice basket, and pour water into the tank. Keep the water level below the water level mark.
2. Press the "ON/OFF" button on the control panel to begin the ice making cycle.
3. Select the ice cube size by pressing the "SELECT" button. If the room temperature is lower than 60°F, it is recommended to select small ice cubes to avoid them sticking together.
4. The ice making cycle lasts approximately 6 to 13 minutes, depending on the selected ice cube size and the room temperature. The recommended room temperature is 50°F to 105°F.
5. If the water pump cannot inject water, the ice maker will stop automatically, and the "ADD WATER" indicator will illuminate. Press the "ON/OFF" button, fill water up to the max. water level mark, and press "ON/OFF" again to turn the unit on. Allow the refrigerant liquid inside the compressor at least 3 minutes to settle before restarting.
6. The ice maker stops when the ice basket is full, and the "ICE FULL" indicator will illuminate.
7. Warning: Direct sunlight or sunlight reflection may cause infrared sensor malfunction. If the unit does not stop even when ice cubes obstruct the sensor, move the unit to a location without direct sunlight.
8. Change the water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure a reasonable hygiene level. If the unit is not to be used, drain all the water and dry the tank.
