Important Safeguards:

• Read all instructions before operating.
• Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles or knobs.
• This appliance is NOT A TOY.
• Unsupervised young children and cognitively challenged individuals should never operate this appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Do not immerse cord, plug, or any part of this unit in water or other liquids to protect against electrical shock.
• Unplug from outlet 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 has been damaged. Return to the nearest repair shop.
• Use only manufacturer-recommended attachments.
• Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
• For household use only; do not use outdoors.
• Do not place on or near hot gas or electric burners, or in a heated oven.
• Do not let the cord hang over edges of tables or counters, or touch hot surfaces.
• Never leave the unit unattended while in use or plugged in.
• Use extreme caution when moving an appliance containing hot food.
• Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn controls to "off" then remove the plug.

Additional Important Safeguards:

• Do not touch the Evaporator during use or ice making; it can cause severe burns.
• Do not clean with flammable liquids; 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.

Electrical Cord and Plug:

• The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) for reduced electrical shock risk. It fits into a polarized outlet only one way. If it doesn't fit, reverse the plug. If it still doesn't fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug.
• A short power supply cord reduces entanglement or tripping risks.
• If using an extension cord: ensure it is used with care, its electrical rating is at least as great as the appliance's, and it does not drape where it can be pulled or tripped over.
• Manufacturer does not recommend use in countries not supporting 120V AC, even with adapters.

How to Operate

Before First Use:

1. Follow Cleaning & Maintenance steps.
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 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-sized cubes are recommended to prevent sticking.
4. Each ice-making cycle lasts 6 to 15 minutes, depending on cube size and ambient temperature. Hotter temperatures may increase cycle 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 the water level is low, turn the unit OFF, fill water to the 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 an ice-making 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 and remove some ice from the Ice Basket.

Ice Cubes Stick Together:

• If the ice cycle is too long, stop the Ice Maker and restart when cubes melt. Select smaller cube sizes.
• 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 produced:
• 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 a blocked cooling system pipe. Contact a qualified technician.

LED Lights:

• If LED lights blink, there may be a power interruption. Press POWER to stop the cycle. Let the unit rest for a few minutes to warm up, allowing ice to fall. Empty the water tray and wait three minutes before restarting.
