SHORT CABLE INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cable is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping over a longer cable. Longer detachable power-supply cables or extension leads are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension lead is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension lead should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension lead should be a grounding-type 3-wire cable; and
3. The longer cable should be arranged so that it will not drape over the worktop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

DO NOT alter the plug for use in a 2-prong socket. If the plug will not fit into a socket, have a proper socket installed by a qualified electrician.

POWER CABLE SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on the cable or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the socket.
3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the socket.
4. Never use the product if the power cable shows signs of abrasion or excessive wear. Contact Chefman® Customer Support for additional guidance and support.
5. Never wrap the cable tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cable where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CABLE SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

Do not place the appliance on a hob or any other heatable surface, even if hob is not on. Doing so is a fire hazard.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE
For best results, follow these steps before using your ice maker for the first time.

1. Remove all packaging materials, such as plastic bags and foam inserts. Check to ensure that all parts and accessories are included before throwing out packaging.
2. Read and remove any stickers on the ice maker except for the rating label, which should remain on the unit.
3. Wipe down the unit’s exterior and reservoir with a damp cloth or kitchen roll, and dry thoroughly. Wash the ice basket and scoop with a sponge and warm, soapy water, and dry completely. CAUTION : Never immerse the ice maker, its base, cable or plug in water or any other liquid, and do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
4. Place the ice maker on a level surface away from direct sunlight and other heat sources. Keep at least 15 cm of clearance on all sides of the unit to ensure proper ventilation. NOTE: If using the unit outdoors, be cautious of weather and extreme temperatures (ideal ambient temperature is between about 10°C and 32°C), as these can affect the ice-making process or damage the unit.
5. MPORTANT : Wait 2 hours for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging the unit in for the first time.
6. Before making ice for the first time, prime the ice maker by running the self-cleaning function (see Cleaning and Maintenance on p. 17).
7. If desired, attach the handle for portability. Grasp both sides of the handle and gently pull outward. Align the knobs on the inner sides of the handle to the corresponding attachment ports on the sides of the ice maker. Press firmly inward until the handle knobs lock into the attachment ports. Make sure the handle is secure by pulling slightly upward as if to raise the unit. If the handle remains, it is properly attached. NOTE : To remove, gently pull the sides of the handle outward until the knobs release from the ports.

HOW TO USE THE ICE MAKER
The ice maker completes a batch of ice in less than 10 minutes and is equipped with an attachable handle for easy portability, creating a quick and convenient ice-making experience.

1. Make sure the drain plug is closed. If it is not, push it firmly into place.

2. Set the ice maker on a hard, level surface away from any sources of heat. Leave at least 15 cm of clearance on all sides of the unit for proper ventilation.
   NOTE : If the ice maker has been moved since its last use, let it sit for 30 minutes before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant fluid to settle.

3. Plug the power cable into an earthed socket. The unit will enter standby mode with the LARGE indicator light blinking and the ICE indicator off, signaling that the unit is plugged in but not yet in ice-making mode.

4. Fill the water reservoir. Open the front cover and gently lift out the ice basket. Fill the reservoir with filtered or bottled water up to but not exceeding the MAX fill line. To ensure sanitation, change the water in the reservoir once a day. CAUTION: Only use cold to room temperature water. Hot water can damage the ice maker.

5. Replace the ice basket and close the front cover.

6. Start the ice maker. Press the SELECT button to choose the desired ice size (small or large) and the indicator light for the selected size will illuminate. Press the START-STOP button. The ICE indicator light will illuminate, indicating that ice-making has started and the unit is no longer in standby mode. NOTE : The ice size can be changed while ice-making is underway. Simply press SELECT to choose a different size.

7. The ice maker will run continuously, making batches of 9 pieces of ice until it
   is turned off or the basket is full. Each cycle lasts approximately 7–10 minutes, depending on ambient temperature and water temperature.

8. Use the ice scoop to remove and serve ice. The ice maker will not keep ice cold for extended periods of time. Store extra ice in the freezer for later use, if desired, or allow the unused ice to melt. Melted ice will drip back into the water reservoir and be reused for the next ice-making cycle.

9. When the ice basket is completely full (which takes about 6–10 cycles depending on the ice size), the FULL indicator light will illuminate, the ICE indicator light will shut off, and ice-making will stop. When ice is removed (or melted ice drips back into the reservoir), ice-making will resume automatically. NOTE: You do not need to wait for the ice basket to be completely full before removing ice. Ice can be used after each cycle if desired.

10. If there is not enough water to complete an ice-making cycle, the REFILL indicator light will illuminate, the ICE indicator light will shut off, and ice-making will stop. Refill the reservoir, then select a size and press the START-STOP button to resume ice-making. NOTE : If water is added but the START-STOP button is not pressed, ice-making will automatically restart after 20 minutes.

11. If using the ice maker daily, conserve energy by unplugging it or switching it to standby mode overnight and when not needed for immediate use. (To switch to standby mode when ice-making is underway, press the START-STOP button.)

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

To keep your ice tasting fresh and your ice maker in prime condition, we recommend changing the water in the reservoir once a day and cleaning your ice maker at least once per week.

1. Make sure the ice maker is unplugged and at room temperature.
2. If residual water is in the ice tray (located above and behind the reservoir), gently push back the tray so the water can drain into the reservoir.
3. Place the unit over a proper drainage area and remove the ice basket. Pull out the drain plug on the bottom of the unit to empty the water from the reservoir. Wipe down the interior with a cloth or kitchen roll soaked in a mixture of water and vinegar. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Replace the drain plug, pushing it firmly into place.
4. Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or kitchen roll, using a mild dishwashing soap if necessary. Wash the removable ice basket and scoop with a sponge and warm, soapy water, and dry completely. The ice maker and its accessories are not dishwasher safe. CAUTION: Never immerse the ice maker, its base, cable or plug in water or any other liquid, and do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
5. To clean the ice maker’s internal parts, follow the instructions on p. 17 to activate the self-cleaning feature when needed.
6. Always empty the water reservoir and dry completely for storage or if the ice maker will not be used for an extended period of time. This will prevent mold and mildew from forming.

HOW TO USE THE SELF-CLEANING FEATURE
The ice maker is equipped with a self-cleaning feature to ensure easy and complete sanitation; this feature should be used at least once per week.

1. To activate self-cleaning, the ice maker must be in standby mode. Enter standby mode by doing one of the following: (1) If the ice maker is unplugged, plug in the unit; the LARGE indicator light will blink and the ICE indicator light will be off, indicating that the unit is in standby mode. (2) If the ice maker is plugged in and on (or in the middle of) an ice-making cycle, press START-STOP and the ICE indicator light will turn off. This means the ice maker has entered standby mode.
2. If necessary, remove any ice and empty the water reservoir by pulling out the drain plug. Replace the drain plug, pushing it in firmly to ensure it is closed properly.
3. Fill the water reservoir to the MAX line with clean water.
4. Press the SELECT button until the CLEAN light blinks, then press START-STOP. The CLEAN light will turn solid and the self-cleaning cycle will begin. The cleaning function runs for 6–8 minutes.
5. Empty the water reservoir by pulling out the drain plug. Follow the instructions to begin making ice, or dry completely for storage.

FAQS

Why is the water pump making noise and/or not pumping water?

The water pump (located inside the unit) is clogged, preventing water from pumping through smoothly and/or causing air to become trapped in the pump. The unit should be cleaned at least once per week to avoid buildup and to ensure that the parts continue to function properly. Use the self-cleaning function on p. 17 to unclog the pump, adding a small amount of mild dish soap or white vinegar if necessary.

Why does the ice have a strange taste?

The water is not fresh or the unit needs to be cleaned. Refill the reservoir with clean drinking water regularly (at least once per day). If the issue persists, follow the directions in Cleaning and Maintenance on p. 17, and use the self-cleaning feature to sanitize the ice maker’s interior parts.

Why is the unit producing low-quality (misshapen or broken) ice?

This can be due to poor heat distribution. For proper ventilation, ensure there is empty space (at least 15 cm) on all sides of the ice maker. Alternatively, the ambient or water temperature may be too high. Move the ice maker to a cooler area and refill the water reservoir with cold water.

Why is the ice-making cycle activated but no ice is being produced?

The ambient temperature is too high and/or the water is too hot. Move the ice maker to a cooler environment (between approximately 10°C and 32°C) and fill the water reservoir with cold water.

Why is the ice clumping together?

The unit is taking too long to make ice and/or the water temperature is too low. Press START-STOP to stop the ice-making cycle, and remove any accumulated ice. Empty the water reservoir and refill with cool or room-temperature water. Restart the unit and begin a new ice-making cycle.

Why is the FULL indicator light on when the ice basket is not full?

The small infrared sensors located on the inner sides of the ice tray are not working properly. Wipe away any foreign substances that may be blocking or covering them and restart the ice maker by unplugging or pressing START-STOP.

Why is the REFILL indicator light on when the water reservoir is full?

The water screen at the bottom of the water reservoir may be blocked. Follow the instructions for the self-cleaning feature on p. 17 to fix.
