Please Note
After opening the box, please do not use it
immediately. Let the ice machine stand upright
for 24 hours first.
This is because the ice machine has experienced a long time of shipping. This
will cause uneven distribution of refrigerant in the compressor. If you use it
immediately after receiving it, it may cause damage to the compressor, and
we will not bear this compensation.
