Do not immerse the cord, plug, or unit in water. Unplug when not in use, before cleaning, or before removing parts. Allow to cool before handling parts. Do not operate with a damaged cord or if the appliance malfunctions. Use only manufacturer-recommended attachments. Use only for its intended purpose. For household use only. Do not place near heat sources. Do not let the cord hang over edges. Never leave unattended. Use extreme caution when moving the unit with hot contents. Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn controls to "off" then remove the plug.

How to Operate
Before First Use: Follow cleaning instructions. Place the unit on a flat, level surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure at least four inches of clearance on all sides. Allow one hour for refrigerant to settle before plugging in.
Using Your Ice Cube Maker:
- Open the lid, remove the ice basket, and pour water into the reservoir, keeping it below the MAX level. Drain excess water if needed via the drain plug.
- Press the POWER button to start the ice-making cycle.
- Select the desired ice cube size using the SELECT button. Small cubes are recommended if the room temperature is below 60°F (16°C) to prevent sticking.
- Ice-making cycles last 6-15 minutes, varying with cube size and ambient temperature.
- The "Add Water" light will illuminate if the water pump cannot draw water; the unit will stop automatically.
- If the water level is low, turn the unit OFF, refill to the MAX level, and turn it back ON.
- The unit stops automatically when the ice basket is full, indicated by the "ICE FULL" light.
- Change water in the reservoir every 24 hours for hygiene. Drain if not in use.
Important Note: If power is disconnected during operation or indicator lights blink, press POWER to stop, unplug the unit, let it rest for a few minutes to warm up and allow ice to fall from the evaporator. Empty the water tray and wait three minutes before restarting.
⚠ Do not touch the Evaporator during operation or ice making, as this can cause severe burns.
Helpful Tips
Add Water Indicator: Turn off, add water, restart. Or remove excess ice from the basket.
Ice Cubes Sticking Together: If the cycle is too long, stop and restart when cubes melt. Select smaller cubes. Ensure water temperature is between 45°F - 90°F.
Ice Maker Not Working: If the unit runs but produces no ice, check ambient and water temperature. The environment should be below 90°F. Try using colder water (45°F - 90°F). If issues persist, check for refrigerant leaks or blocked cooling system pipes.
LED Lights Blinking: May indicate a power interruption. Press POWER to stop the cycle, unplug, wait a few minutes for the unit to warm up and release ice, empty the water tray, and wait three minutes before restarting.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Your ice maker has an automatic cleaning function. Follow these steps for maintenance:
- Remove the ice basket and drain any remaining water via the bottom drain plug. Replace the plug.
- Prepare a cleaning solution: Vinegar and water (1:1), Lemon and water (1:1), or a commercial ice maker cleaner.
- Ensure the unit is plugged in and the POWER light is off. Add the cleaning solution to the water reservoir.
- Press SELECT until the CLEAN indicator light is illuminated. The unit will automatically cycle the solution 5 times.
- After cleaning, drain the interior water via the drain plug and replace it.
- Clean the interior and exterior with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive towel.
