PROPERTY.
This appliance is not intended for use by people (including children) with

knowledge of its operation, unless well instructed or under supervision of a
person responsible for their safety with clear understanding of the hazards
involved. Same applies to cleaning and maintenance of appliance.
This product is NOT a toy.
•Do not place hands or objects on or near the ice maker’s evaporator when it
is in operation.
•Do not operate the appliance if the cord is damaged. If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer in order to avoid hazard.
•Connect ice maker to proper outlets only. There should be no other
appliance plugged into the same outlet. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted
into the outlet.
•Do not run the cord over carpeting or other heat insulators. Do not cover the
cord. Keep cord away from traffic areas and do not submerge in water.
•Unplug ice maker before cleaning or making repairs.
•Close supervision is required if appliance is being used near children or pets.
•Do not clean your ice maker with flammable or corrosive fluids, fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.

•Do not place anything in the interior when not in use. The appliance is not
designed to store other items.
•Appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications, such
as staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other working environments;
farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels, and other residential type
environments; bed and breakfast type environments; catering and similar
non-retail applications.
•To use this product, place it on a flat surface.
•After unpack the ice maker, DO NOT turn on the Ice Maker. Wait 24 hours to
stabilize the refrigerant inside the ice maker before first time use.
•Please make sure that the rear drain is firmly plugged before adding water to
the water tank.
•The ice cubes produced will be relatively small at first. Do not be concerned
as this is not a defect. The unit will take a few cycles to produce the intended
size.
•Do not use near heat or excessive dust.
•Do not immerse machine in water, use it in bathrooms or places where it
may be splashed with water.
•Do not dismantle or modify machine.

•Disconnect the power supply and drain out the remaining water from the
rear drain if ice maker will not be used for an extended period.
•We suggest using an ice maker cleaning agent or citric acid to clean
appliance before first use to avoid resulting ice from having dirt and/or odor
due to machine components being manipulated during assembly. If not
cleaned before use resulting ice may have dirt and/or odor that will
disappear after several cycles. DO NOT consume any ice with dirt and/or an
odor. This is not a defect.
•Do not alter cooling circuit (piping).

•Do not use damaged power plugs or loose sockets.
•If the supplied power cord is damaged, please contact customer service.
Allow damaged supply cords to be replaced by the manufacturer, service
agent or a similarly qualified person to avoid hazard to yourself.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ICE MAKER
1. Ice Basket and Scoop: used for storing and serving the ice.
2. Ice Window: allows you to check how much ice has been produced
without having to open the top and letting warm air in.
3. Air Vents: Located on the back and sides of the unit, these vents help
prevent the unit from overheating. Please leave at least six inches of space
all around the unit for proper ventilation.
4. Water Drain: allows you to empty the water from the tank easily.
5. Max Fill Line: Inside the water tank below the ice tray is a line marking
labeled “MAX.” Do not fill the water tank above this line.
6. Controls/Indicator Lights:
•STANDBY MODE: Once you plug in your ice maker, a red LED ring will
light up to indicate the unit is waiting to produce ice. It will not make
batches until the unit has been activated with the power button.
•POWER BUTTON: Press the power button once to turn on your ice
maker. Once on, a blue LED ring will light up and the unit will begin to
make ice. To turn the unit OFF, hold the power button for 3 seconds.
The red LED ring will light up and the ice maker will go back to standby
mode.
•ICE FULL: There is an infrared sensor that helps detect when the ice
tray is full. When the tray is full, ice production will stop, the unit will

turn off, and the “Ice Full” indicator will light up. To restart the ice
production process, empty the ice basket, and press the power button
twice. The first press of the button will put the ice maker in standby
mode, the second will turn the unit on and it will start to make ice
again.
•ADD WATER: When the “Add Water” indicator lights up, the unit will
turn off and you will need to pour more water into the water tray
below the ice basket. After you have refilled the water tray, press the
power button twice to restart the ice production process. The unit will
continuously produce ice if there is water in the tank and the ice tray
is not full.

CONNECTING YOUR ICE MAKER
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of
electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, please do not
attempt to use the unit, contact customer service for assistance.

If there is not enough water in the tank to produce ice, the ice maker
will stop automatically, and the “Add Water” indicator will light up. Fill
water up to the “MAX” line, press the power button to enter standby
mode and press the power button again to resume ice production.
