BEFORE USE

Unpacking

Unpack the ice cube maker, then check to ensure that all the components are included. If components are missing, contact help.Kogan.com for assistance.

Cleaning

It is strongly recommended to clean the ice cube maker before first use.

• Remove the ice basket.
• Open the drain plug. Clean the interior with a soft cloth soaked with warm water and vinegar. Rinse with fresh water and drain.
• Wash the ice basket and ice scoop in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.
• Clean the exterior of the ice maker with a soft damp cloth. Use a mild dishwashing soap if necessary.

Placement

Place the ice cube maker on a stable, level surface with at least a 25cm clearance from heat sources (for example, ovens, heaters, and corrosive gases). Before first use, wait for at least two hours to allow the fluids in the compressor to settle. For subsequent uses, wait for at least 30 minutes to allow the fluids in the compressor to settle after the ice cube maker is moved or transported.

Notes:

• Do not turn the ice cube maker upside down.
• During winter, allow the appliance a few hours to warm to room temperature before plugging in.

OPERATION

Ensure that the drain plug at the bottom of the water reservoir is closed well. Before first use, wait for at least two hours to allow the fluids in the compressor to settle.

1. Plug the ice cube maker into the wall outlet and turn the outlet on. The “ICE” indicator will blink.

2. Open the top lid and remove the ice basket.

3. Fill the water reservoir with drinking water between 8–25°C.
   Note:
   Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water. It is best to fill it with water that is room temperature or colder.

4. Place the ice basket in and close the top lid.

5. Press the “ON/OFF” button and the “ICE” indicator will turn solid. One ice-making cycle will take approximately 7–15 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature and water temperature.
   • The ice-making cycle starts with water being pumped into the ice tray situated below the evaporator. Over the next 7–15 minutes, ice will form in the evaporator.
   • Once completed, the ice tray will tilt backwards and the remaining water in the ice tray is drained back into the water reservoir.
   • The ice cubes are then dropped from the evaporator and pushed forward into the ice basket by the ice shovel.
   • The ice tray will automatically move back into position under the evaporator and start the next cycle.

6. When the desired amount of ice is made, press the “ON/OFF” button to stop the ice-making process. Turn off the outlet then unplug the power cord. Open the top lid and collect the ice using the ice scoop.

Ice full indicator

The “ICE FULL” indicator will illuminate when the ice basket is full, and the ice-making cyclewill stop automatically.
Gently remove the ice from the ice basket with the ice scoop. About five seconds later, the ice cube maker will resume making ice automatically.

Add water indicator

The “ADD WATER” indicator will illuminate when the water reservoir is out of water. The ice-making cycle will stop automatically.

1. Remove the ice basket and add water into the reservoir.
2. Place the ice basket into the ice cube maker then press the “ON/OFF” button to restart the ice-making cycle.

CLEANING & CARE

It is recommended to clean the ice maker and replace the water once a week. Ensure the ice cube maker is turned off, unplugged, and at room temperature before cleaning.

1. If there is residual water found in the ice tray, gently push the ice tray back so that all water drains into the water reservoir.

2. Move the ice cube maker 75mm away from the surface it is used on and open the drain plug to drain out excess water.
   

3. Remove the ice basket.

4. Clean the interior with a soft cloth soaked with warm water and vinegar, then rinse with fresh water and drain.

5. Replace the drain plug firmly. Wash the ice basket and ice scoop in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.

6. Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth. Use a mild dishwashing soap if necessary, then wipe dry.
