installation or after a long shut-off period.
Troubleshooting：
1. Please note, if a power failure occurs due to disconnection of the power
cord, or the power button has been pushed off during an ice making cycle,
small ice chips may formed and lodge in the automatic shovel causing it
to jam. Ifthis occurs, the ice chips may be removed by disconnecting the
power cord and gently pushing the shovel tothe rear of the cabinet and
removing the ice chips, then restarting.
2. Please check if the water reservoir is flat when the ice shovel can not
remove the ice to ice basket. If not, please push the ice shovel gently by
finger, then press POWER button to restart.
