This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
To protect against electrical shock, this appliance is equipped with a cord having a
3-prong grounding-type plug for insertion into a proper grounding-type electrical
outlet. DO NOT alter the plug for use in a 2-prong outlet. If the plug will not t into an
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
For best results, follow these steps before using your ice maker for the rst time.
1. Remove all packaging materials, such as plastic bags and foam inserts. Check to
ensure that all parts and accessories are included before throwing out packaging.
2. Read and remove any stickers on the ice maker except for the rating label, which
should remain on the unit.
3. Clean the unit’s exterior, reservoir, ice basket, and scoop, following the directions
in Cleaning and Maintenance on p. 16.
4. Place the ice maker on a level surface away from direct sunlight and other heat
sources. Keep at least 6 inches of clearance on all sides of the unit to ensure
proper ventilation. NOTE: If using the unit outdoors, be cautious of weather and
extreme temperatures (ideal ambient temperature is between about 50°F/10°C
and 90°F/32°C), as these can affect the ice-making process or damage the unit.
5. IMPORTANT: Wait 2 hours for the refrigerant uid to settle before plugging the
unit in for the rst time.
6. Before making ice for the rst time, prime the ice maker by running the self-
cleaning function (see Cleaning and Maintenance on p. 17).

7. If desired, attach the handle for portability. Grasp both sides of the handle and
gently pull outward. Align the knobs on the inner sides of the handle to the
corresponding attachment ports on the sides of the ice maker. Press rmly inward
until the handle knobs lock into the attachment ports. Make sure the handle is
secure by pulling slightly upward as if to raise the unit. If the handle remains, it is
properly attached. NOTE: To remove, gently pull the sides of the handle outward
until the knobs release from the ports.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO USE THE ICE MAKER
The ice maker completes a batch of ice in less than 10 minutes and is equipped with
an attachable handle for easy portability, creating a quick and convenient ice-making
experience.
1. Make sure the drain plug is closed. If it is not, push it rmly into place.
2. Set the ice maker on a hard, level surface away from any sources of heat. Leave
at least 6 inches of clearance on all sides of the unit for proper ventilation. NOTE:
If the ice maker has been moved since its last use, let it sit for 30 minutes before
plugging it in, to allow the refrigerant uid to settle.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. The ICE indicator light will blink as
the ice maker enters standby mode, signaling that the unit is plugged in but not
yet powered on.
4. Fill the water reservoir: Open the front cover and gently lift out the ice basket. Fill
the reservoir with ltered or bottled water up to but not exceeding the MAX ll
line. To ensure sanitation, change the water in the reservoir once a day. CAUTION:
Only use cold to room temperature water. Hot water can damage the ice maker.
5. Replace the ice basket and close the front cover.
6. Start the ice maker: Press the SELECT button to choose the desired ice size (small
or large) and the indicator light for the selected size will illuminate green. Press the
START button. The ICE indicator light will illuminate green, indicating that the ice
maker is on and no longer in standby mode. NOTE: The ice size can be changed
while ice-making is underway. Simply press SELECT to choose a different size.
7. The ice maker will run continuously, making batches of 9 pieces of ice until it
is turned off or the basket is full. Each cycle lasts approximately 7–15 minutes,
depending on ambient temperature and water temperature.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8. Use the ice scoop to remove and serve ice. The ice maker will not keep ice cold
for extended periods of time. Store extra ice in the freezer for later use, if desired,
or allow the unused ice to melt. Melted ice will drip back into the water reservoir
and be reused for the next ice-making cycle.
9. When the ice basket is completely full (which takes about 10 cycles), the FULL
indicator light will illuminate red and the ICE indicator light will blink green,
indicating that ice-making has stopped, and the unit has entered standby mode.
NOTE: You do not need to wait for the ice basket to be completely full before
removing the ice. Ice can be used after each cycle, if desired.
10. If there is not enough water to complete an ice-making cycle, the REFILL indicator
light will illuminate red, and ice-making will stop automatically. Rell the reservoir,
then select a size and press START to resume ice-making.
11. If using the ice maker daily, conserve energy by unplugging it or switching it to
standby mode overnight and when not needed for immediate use.

14
TROUBLESHOOTING/FAQS
Why is the REFILL indicator light on when the water reservoir is full?
The water screen at the bottom of the water reservoir may be blocked. Follow the
instructions for the self-cleaning feature on p. 17 to x.
Why is the FULL indicator light on when the ice basket is not full?
The small infrared sensors located on the inner sides of the ice tray are not working
properly. Wipe away any foreign substances that may be blocking or covering them and
restart the ice maker by unplugging or pressing START.
Why is the ice clumping together?
The unit is taking too long to make ice and/or the water temperature is too low. Press
STOP to stop the ice-making cycle and remove any accumulated ice. Empty the water
reservoir and rell with cool or room temperature water. Restart the unit and begin a new
ice-making cycle.

15
TROUBLESHOOTING/FAQS
Why is the ice-making cycle activated but no ice is being produced?
The ambient temperature is too high and/or the water is too hot. Move the ice maker to a
cooler environment (between approximately 50°F/10°C and 90°F/32°C) and ll the water
reservoir with cold water.
Why is the unit producing low-quality (misshapen or broken) ice?
This can be due to poor heat distribution. For proper ventilation, ensure there is empty
space (at least 6 inches) on all sides of the ice maker. Alternatively, the ambient or water
temperature may be too high. Move the ice maker to a cooler area and rell the water
reservoir with cold water.
Why does the ice have a strange taste?
The water is not fresh, or the unit needs to be cleaned. Rell the reservoir with clean
drinking water regularly (at least once per day). If the issue persists, follow the directions
in Cleaning and Maintenance on p. 17, and use the self-cleaning feature to sanitize the ice
maker’s interior parts.
If a problem or issue persists after following the instructions on the Troubleshooting
pages, contact Chefman® Customer Support at [e-mail] for further
assistance.

16
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To keep your ice tasting fresh and your ice maker in prime condition, we recommend
changing the water in the reservoir once a day and cleaning your ice maker at least
once per week.
1. Make sure the ice maker is unplugged and at room temperature.
2. If residual water is in the ice tray (located above and behind the reservoir), gently
push back the tray so the water can drain into the reservoir.
3. Place the unit over a proper drainage area and remove the ice basket. Pull out the
drain plug on the bottom of the unit to empty the water from the reservoir. Wipe
down the interior with a cloth or paper towel soaked in a mixture of water and
vinegar. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Replace the drain plug, pushing it rmly
into place.
4. Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel, using a mild
dishwashing soap if necessary. Wash the removable ice basket and scooper with a
sponge and warm, soapy water, and dry completely. The ice maker and its accessories
are not dishwasher safe. CAUTION: Never immerse the ice maker, its base, cord, or
plug in water or any other liquid, and do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
5. To clean the ice maker’s internal parts, follow the instructions on p. 17 to activate the
self-cleaning feature when needed.
6. Always empty the water reservoir and dry completely for storage or if the ice
maker will not be used for an extended period of time. This will prevent mold and
mildew from forming.

17
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
HOW TO USE THE SELF-CLEANING FEATURE
The ice maker is equipped with a self-cleaning feature to ensure easy and complete
sanitation; this feature should be used at least once per week.
1. To activate self-cleaning, the ice maker must be in standby mode. Enter standby mode
by doing one of the following: 1) If the ice maker is unplugged, plug in the unit; the ICE
indicator light will blink green indicating the unit is in standby mode; 2) If the ice maker
is plugged in, and on (or in the middle of) an ice-making cycle, press STOP, and the ICE
indicator light will change from solid green to blinking green. This means the ice maker
has entered standby mode.
2. If necessary, remove any ice and empty the water reservoir by pulling out the drain
plug. Replace the drain plug, pushing it in rmly to ensure it is closed properly.
3. Fill the water reservoir to the MAX line with clean water.
4. Press the SELECT button until the CLEAN indicator light illuminates green, then press
START. The cleaning function runs for 7 to 10 minutes.
5. Empty the water reservoir by pulling out the drain plug. Follow the instructions to
begin making ice, or dry completely for storage.
