• Please make sure that the ice maker is set upright on level surface. Keep the environment dry and stay away from heat sources such as ovens, heaters, and corrosive gases. Maintain at least 6 inch clearance on all sides of the ice maker for proper ventilation.

• Please keep it still and wait for 2 hours before plugging in.

• The unit should be running between 50°F (10°C) and 90°F (32°C) air temperature.

2. Plug into a 120V/60Hz wall outlet, check if the `Making’ indicator is flashing.
3. Open the transparent lid and remove the ice basket.
4. Add potable water into water reservoir, note not to exceed the `MAX’ line.
5. Put the ice basket back and close the lid.
6. Press the On/Off button and wait. Check if theMaking’ indicator is glowing white.
7. Wait for approx. 20 minutes to enjoy fresh nugget ice.

Cleaning

1. Remove all of the ice.
2. Empty the unit via the drain hoses at the back of it, then seal it back.
3. Obtain pre-mixed scale remover solution or mix a solution of scale remover with water according to solution direction. Approx 16 fl. oz. Solution is needed to complete the cleaning process.
4. Fill the water reservoir with scale remover solution and close the lid. Press and hold the `Clean’ button for 3 seconds to enter self-cleaning program. The solution will run inside the machine through all the way that water goes when making ice, to remove the water scale. You may run the program twice for deep clean.

8. Clean water reservoir, ice basket and ice scoop. This should be carried out on regular basis.
9. Clean the exterior of the unit with damp soft sponge.
10. Do not use organic solvent, boiled water, detergent, strong acid or strong alkali, etc. for cleaning.

Notes for Daily Use

• Although heat insulation layer is used for unit housing, it only helps in slowing down ice melting speed. Transfer ice to freezer if you wish to keep it for long.
• When the machine stops ice-making triggered by `Full’ (ice full), it will not go back to ice-making unless the ice is removed and the lid is open and closed. This is designed to save energy when ice melts and machine restarts ice-making but no one is around.
• Do clean the ice maker periodically, ex. once a month, to keep ice fresh and help the machine last longer.
• The incline angle should not exceed 45° during transport. Turning upside down is strictly forbidden. Doing so can cause damage to compressor or refrigerating system. After the jolt of transport, wait for 2 hours before plugging in.
• If the ice maker is not to be used for some time, empty the water reservoir, dry it for storage.
• The ice maker is designed to work quietly but will make some noise during operation.
