For subsequent uses, wait for at least 30 minutes to allow the fluids in the compressor to
settle after the ice cube maker is moved or transported.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Note:
• Do not turn the ice cube maker upside down.
• During winter, allow the appliance a few hours to warm to room temperature
before plugging in.

1. Ensure that the drain plug at the bottom of water reservoir is closed well.
2. Plug the ice maker into an electrical outlet, the “ ” indicator will blink.
3. Open the top lid and remove the ice basket.
4. Fill the water reservoir using potable water only.

below the evaporator. Over the next 7-15 minutes ice forms on the evaporator.
Once completed, the ice tray will tilt backwards and the remaining water in the ice
tray is drained back into the water reservoir. The ice cubes are then dropped from
the evaporator and pushed forward into the ice basket by the ice shovel. The ice
tray will automatically move back into position under the evaporator and start the
next cycle.
10. The “ ”indicator will light up when the ice basket is full and then the ice maker
will stop the ice-making cycle automatically. Gently remove the ice from the ice
basket with the ice scoop. About 5 seconds later, the ice maker will restart its ice

25°C.
TROUBLESHOOTING

The ice-making cycle
seems normal, but no ice is
produced.
The ice-making cycle
seems normal, but no ice is
produced.
The ambient temperature
or water temperature is too
high.
Start the ice-making cycle
at an environment with an
ambient temperature less
than 32°C and fill the water
reservoir with some cold
water.
Refrigerating system leaks
Contact help.Kogan.com
for support.
The ambient temperature
or water temperature is too
high.
Start the ice-making cycle
at an environment with an
ambient temperature less
than 32°C and fill the water
reservoir with some cold
water.
Poor ice-making result
Poor heat dissipation.
Leave an 8-inch (20cm)
clearance on all sides of
the ice maker for proper
ventilation.
The water temperature is
too high.
Fill the water reservoir with
water between 8°C and
28°C.
The ambient temperature
is too high.
Operate the ice maker at
an environment with an
ambient temperature
between 10°C and 32°C.

Water pump does not work
or produces noise.
Water pump is damaged.
Contact the after-sales
department for replacing
the water pump.
The appliance has not
been cleaned for a long
time, which has resulted in
the formation of mucoid
substance at the water
inlet of the water pump, so
that the water-pumping is
not smooth. There is air in
the water pipe, so there will
be resonance noise
produced when pumping
water.
The appliance should be
cleaned in one to two
weeks and some neutral
cleaning agents (such as
detergent and soapy water
etc.) can be added if
necessary.
