UNPACKING AND SETTING UP YOUR ICE MAKER
- Remove the exterior and interior packaging. Make sure that you unpack and remove the tape that holds the ice shovel, ice basket, and ice scoop in place.
- Put the ice maker on a flat, level surface away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat (such as a stove, furnace, heating ducts, or radiator).
- Make sure that there is at least a four inch gap between the back and sides and surrounding walls with adequate air circulation behind it.
- Position the ice maker so that the plug is accessible.
- Wait four hours for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging the ice maker in.
- Plug in your ice maker.
CLEANING YOUR ICE MAKER
- Before using your ice maker for the first time, make sure to clean the ice maker thoroughly.
- Clean the ice maker at least once a week or every three days if your water quality is poor.
-
To run the self-cleaning cycle, fill the reservoir to the MAX water line with clean water, then press the ON/OFF button for more than five seconds. The self-cleaning cycle starts.
-
When the self-cleaning cycle is done (about 30 minutes), unplug the drain plug on the front bottom to drain the water.
-
Clean the exterior and interior with diluted detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water.
CAUTION: Do not use bleach or vinegar to clean the internal components. -
Insert the water drain plug back in place and secure before filling with water.
-
Run two to three cycles of ice and dispose of them to help remove any first time plastic odor or residue.
USING YOUR ICE MAKER
WARNINGS:
- Your ice maker must be grounded and comes equipped with a grounding-type power cord with a three-prong plug that plugs into a standard, three-prong wall outlet.
- When using for the first time, wait four hours for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging the ice maker in.
- Fill with drinking water only.
-
Make sure that the water drain plug is in place and secure.
-
Open the cover, then pour drinking water into the reservoir through the ice basket. Add water up to MAX water line.
-
Close the cover.
-
Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
-
Press the ON/OFF button. The power indicator lights and the ice maker begins making ice.
Note: If the water level is too low, your ice maker stops automatically and the ADD WATER indicator light turns on. Turn off your ice maker, then fill the reservoir up to the MAX water line. Wait at least three minutes, then turn on your ice maker. -
Press the SELECT button to select the ice cube size. If the room temperature is lower than 60°F (16°C), it is best to select the small cube size to keep ice from sticking together. When the ice basket is full, your ice maker automatically stops making ice and the ICE FULL indicator lights.
Note: The ice making cycle lasts five to eight minutes, depending on the selected ice cube size and the ambient temperature. If the room is extremely hot, the cycle may take longer. -
Remove the ice from the basket and use or freeze the ice.
Note: After the ice is made it slowly begins to melt into the reservoir. Your ice maker recycles the water to make ice again.
USAGE TIPS
- Change the water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to make sure that the ice tastes good.
- If your ice maker is not in use, drain all water left in the tank.
TROUBLESHOOTING

The ICE FULL indicator is on.
- Remove ice from the ice basket. Ice cubes stick together.
- The ice cycle is too long for the room temperature. Stop your ice maker, then restart it when the ice melts. Select the small size ice cube and try making ice again.
- The water temperature may be too cold. Change the water in the reservoir. The best water temperature is between 40°F ~ 90°F (4.4°C ~ 32°C).
The ice making cycle is normal, but no ice is made.
-
The room temperature or water temperature may be too high. The room temperature should be 50°F ~ 105°F (10°C ~ 40°C). The water temperature should be 40°F ~ 90°F (4.4°C ~ 32°C).
