IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
-1-
PREPARING YOUR ICE MAKER FOR USE
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided important safety information in this manual. Always read and
obey all safety information.
This is the safety alert symbol:
All safety information will follow the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING”.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed to
reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and injury to persons or property. Read all
instructions before using any appliance.
These words mean:
If you do not follow the instructions strictly, you may endanger your life or be seri-
ously injured.
The safety information will inform you of the potential dangers associated with the
incorrect use of the product, how to minimize the possibility of injury, and the possi-
ble consequences of not following the instructions.
Do not operate this or any other appliance with a damaged cord. If the supply
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent,
or a similarly qualied person in order to avoid a hazard. This ice-maker must be
positioned so that the plug is accessible. Connect to properly polarized outlets
only. No other appliance should be plugged into the same outlet. Be sure that
the plug is fully inserted into the electrical outlet.
Do not run the power cord over carpeting or other heat insulators. Do not
cover the cord. Keep the cord away from trac areas, and do not submerge it in
water.
We do not recommend the use of an extension cord, as it may overheat and
become a risk of re. If you must use an extension cord, use a No. 14 AWG mini-
mum size with a rating of no less than 1875 watts.

- CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR ICE MAKER
*Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the
power cord is damaged, please call our customer service.
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this
appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which connects with standard
three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electric shock.
Plug your device into a dedicated, properly installed, grounded wall outlet.
Under no circumstances should you cut or remove the third (ground) pin on the
power cord. Any questions about power and/or grounding should be directed
to a certied electrician.
This appliance requires a standard 110–120V, 60 Hz, 3-prong electrical outlet.

USING YOUR ICE MAKER
MAKING THE ICE -CUBE
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 cubes in order to avoid the possibility of ice sticking together.
Press “POWER” on the control panel to begin the ice-making cycle.
The ice-making cycle lasts 6 to 12 minutes, depending on the selected size of
the ice cube.
If the water pump cannot supply more water, the ice maker will stop automati-
cally, and the "ADD WATER" Indicator will light up on the control panel. Please
check the water bottle and replace it with a full bottle of water. Press the
“POWER” button again to resume the ice-making cycle. Allow the refrigerant
liquid inside the compressor to settle for at least 3 minutes before restarting.
When the ice basket is full, the "ICE" indicator on the control panel lights up and
the ice maker automatically stops operating.
