BEFORE USING:
Remove all packaging.
Clean the ice maker. Make sure the unit is off and unplugged.
Find a location for the appliance that is protected from direct sunlight and other sources of heat (i.e.
stove, furnace or radiators).
Place the ice maker on a level surface and ensure at least 15 cm (8”) of space at the top, back and
on each side of the ice maker for proper ventilation.
Allow the refrigerant fluid to settle for a few hours before plugging in the unit.
Ensure the voltage is in compliance with your plug.

CONTROL PANEL:
ON/OFF: Press the button to turn the unit on or off.
ADD WATER: This light will turn on, accompanied by a beeping sound, when the water level is too
low. Add water to the reservoir and press the ON/OFF button to restart the machine.

the water tank is not over the ice basket.
2. Close the top lid and connect the ice maker to the power.
3. Press ON/OFF button on the control panel to begin the ice making cycle.
4. The machine normally produces 9 cubes of ice with each batch. The first batch will take
approximately 20 minutes. After that, it takes around 10 minutes for each batch. Note that
the first three batches might be small and irregular in size.
5. Regularly check the “Add Water” indicator as the machine will automatically turn off if the
water pump cannot inject water, and the indicator will be on.NOTE: if no water is pumped up
to the water tray over two cycles, but there is enough water in the water tank, unplug the
silicone stopper and let several drops of water run out. Restart the unit.

CLEANING & CARE:
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO CLEAN THE ICE MAKER THOROUGHLY BEFORE
USING!
1. Remove the ice basket.
2. Unplug the water drain stopper to drain out leftover water.
3. Clean the exterior and interior of the ice maker regularly with a diluted solution of water and
vinegar. Do not spray the unit with chemicals and diluted agents such as acids, gasoline or oil.
Rinse thoroughly.
4. Dry the interior and exterior thoroughly before reassembling the unit.
5. When the appliance is not in use, unplug the water stopper to drain all water as mould can form
if moisture is trapped inside of the unit.

amount of water and the water indicator will turn on. Reset the ice maker by pressing ON/OFF
button.
NOTE: If the compressor stops for any reason (e.g. water shortage, excess of ice etc.), use
the ON/OFF button to restart the system. Always wait 3 minutes before turning the machine
back on.
