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 fol-
lowed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons or prop-
erty. 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 seriously 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 possible 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 qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard. This ice-maker must be positioned so that the plug is accessi-
ble. 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 traffic areas, and do not
submerge it in water.
We do not recommend the use of an extension cord, as it may over-
heat and become a risk of fire. If you must use an extension cord, use a
No. 14 AWG minimum size with a rating of no less than 1875 watts.

USING YOUR ICE MAKER
Open the cover, remove the ice basket, and pour water into the
tank. Keep the water level below the maximum water level mark.
Press the ON/OFF button on the control panel to begin the
ice-making cycle.
Select the ice cube size by pressing the SELECT button. If the room
temperature is lower than 60°F, it is recommended to select the
small ice cube size in order to avoid the possibility of ice sticking
together.
The ice-making cycle lasts approximately 6 to 13 minutes, de-
pending on the selected size of the ice cube and the room tem-
perature. The recommended room temperature is between 50°F
to 105°F.
If the water pump cannot supply more water, the ice maker will
stop automatically, and the ADD WATER indicator will light up on
the control panel. Press the ON/OFF button and fill the water up to
the maximum water level mark. Press the ON/OFF button again to
restart the unit. Allow the refrigerant liquid inside the compressor
to settle for at least 3 minutes before restarting.
When the ice basket is full, the ice maker will stop and the ICE FULL
indicator on the control panel will light up. Warning: exposure to
direct sunlight or the reflections of sunlight may cause the infrared
sensor to malfunction. If the device cannot be paused even if ice
blocks the sensor, please move the device to a place without sun-
light.
Change the water in the water tank every 24 hours to ensure an
appropriate hygiene level. If the unit will not be used for a while,
drain all the water and dry the tank.
