OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MAKING ICE
1. Open the unit’s cover, remove the ice basket, and pour water into the
water reservoir. Keep the water level below the “MAX” line marked inside
the reservoir.
2. Plug in the unit to the grounded power supply outlet.
3. Press the “ON/OFF” button on the control panel to begin the ice making
cycle.
4. Select the size of the ice cube by pressing the “SELECT” button. If the room
temperature is lower than 60°F, it is recommended to select small or
medium ice in order to avoid the ice sticking together.
5. The ice making cycle lasts anywhere from 7 to 13 minutes, depending on
the size of the ice cubes you select and the ambient room temperature. Ice
making time may vary significantly in extremely high room temperatures.
6. Periodically verify the water level in the water reservoir when the ice
maker is on. If the water level is too low, the ice maker will automatically
stop and the “Add Water” indictor light will flash in the LCD display
window. Press the “POWER” button to stop the unit and unplug it. Fill the
reservoir with water up to the level mark. Plug it in and press the “POWER”
button again to restart the unit. Allow at least 3 minutes for the
refrigerant inside the compressor to settle before restarting.
7. The ice maker automatically stops working when the ice basket is full. The
“Ice Bucket Full” indicator will also turn on at this time.
8. Change the water in the reservoir every 24 hours to ensure hygienic ice. If
the ice maker will not be used for an extended period of time, drain the
water from the reservoir by unplugging the drain off cap located on the
side of the ice maker.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Clean the outside of the ice maker with a mild detergent solution and warm
water. Use a soft cloth to wipe to avoid scratching or damaging the surface of
the unit. Use the unit’s self-clean function to clean the interior of the unit:
1. Remove the ice basket.
2. Add 1:1 mixture of water and vinegar.
3. Plug in the unit. Hold down the CLEAN button for at least 6 seconds and
release. The unit will automatically enter the self-clean program. This
process will last about 5-6 minutes, after which the unit will automatically
power down again. During this process the “Add Water Indicator” and the
“Self-Cleaning Indicator” will light in the LCD display window, and the fan
blades in the self-clean symbol will always rotate. This process will rinse
the inside parts of the ice maker thoroughly.
4. After the self-clean program is completed, drain out the water by
unplugging the drain cap on the side. Then close the drain cap.
5. Unplug the unit and add fresh water into the interior tank, up to the water
level mark.
6. Re-plug the unit to the power supply, and rerun the self-cleaning program
again as described in Step 3.
7. When the self-cleaning program is completed, unplug the unit and drain
out the water by unplugging the drain cap on the side.
8. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
9. Tighten the drain cap. Replace the ice basket and plug the unit in again.
To remove the build-up of calcium or other impurities, add a capful of vinegar
or lemon juice to the water in the reservoir and run for two or three ice-making
cycles. Drain and refill the reservoir with clean, warm water. Run two more
cycles to rinse the vinegar or lemon-juice. When the machine is not in use open
the water drain cap to completely drain the water reservoir.
STORAGE
Before storing your ice maker, clean it according to the directions above and
allow it to dry thoroughly –at least 24 hours –in order to prevent the growth
of mold or mildew. Store your ice maker in the original packaging, or cover with
a soft cloth or plastic sheet.

EN
www.newair.com 16
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
The ice cubes are too
small.
The ambient
temperature or water
temperature may be
too high.
Select large sized ice
cubes by pressing the
“SELECT” button.
The compressor may
need to warm up.
If this is the first time
the unit is being used,
allow the ice maker to
cycle a few times. This
should result in larger
cubes.
The ice has a “plastic”
taste.
The unit’s interior may
need to be cleaned.
Add a tablespoon of
lemon juice or vinegar
to a full tank of water
and allow the ice maker
to cycle a few times.
The unit produces a
large block of ice
instead of cubes.
The ambient
temperature may be
too low.
Unplug the unit and let
the ice thaw out. Allow
the ice maker to defrost
for a few hours and
restart the unit.
The ice cubes have a
cloudy appearance.
There may be trace
minerals in your water
or ice is being
produced too quickly.
Ice cubes may develop
cloudiness when water
is frozen quickly. As ice
develops on the surface
of water, certain gases
can no longer remain
dissolved and begin to
surface as microscopic
bubbles. This cloudiness
is normal.
