OPERATION

Before first use

1. Unpack the appliance, then check to ensure that all the accessories are included. If not, contact Kogan Support.
2. Install the ice maker on stable, level surface with sufficient ventilation (at least 25cm), far from heat sources such as ovens, heaters and corrosive gases to ensure good operation.
3. The ice maker cabinet should never exceed 45°. Do not turn upside down. This can cause the compressor or refrigerating system to operate incorrectly. Please allow time for the fluids in the compressor to settle after the ice maker is moved or transported (at least 30 minutes). Before using the ice maker for the first time, please wait for 2 hours after installation.

Notes:

• Clean before first use. (See “Cleaning & Care”)
• Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water. This may damage the ice maker. It is best to fill the water reservoir with water of room temperature or lower.
• Do not use the appliance in very cold environments (lower than 5°C).

How to use

Ensure that the drain plug at the bottom of water reservoir is closed well.

1. Plug the ice maker into the wall outlet: the “Ice” indicator will blink.

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

3. Fill the water reservoir with drinking water.

4. Replace the ice basket and close the top lid.

5. Press “On/Off” and the “Ice” indicator will become solid.

6. The ice-making cycle will last approximately 7-15 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature and water temperature.

7. The ice-making cycle starts with water being pumped into the ice tray situated below the evaporator. Over the next 7-15 minutes ice forms on the evaporator. Once this has 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.

8. The “Ice Full” indicator will light up when the ice basket is full and the ice maker will stop the ice-making cycle automatically. Gently remove the ice from the ice basket with the ice scoop. About 5 seconds later, the ice maker will restart its ice making function automatically.

9. The “Add Water” indicator will light up when the water reservoir is out of water and the ice-making cycle will stop automatically. At that time, remove the ice basket and add water to the water reservoir, and then press “On/Off” again to restart the icemaking cycle.

10. When the desired amount of ice has been made, stop the ice making cycle by pressing “On/Off” and unplug the unit from the wall outlet.

11. Open the top lid and transfer the ice to a freezer. Note: The ice will last in the ice maker for up to 18 hours, depending on ambient temperature.

12. Allow the ice maker to reach room temperature.

13. It is best to replace the water once a week. Empty the water reservoir if the ice maker
    will not be used for a long time.

SPECIFICATIONS

CLEANING & CARE

To keep your ice tasting fresh and your ice maker looking great, it is recommended to clean the ice maker once per week.

1. Stop the ice-making cycle by pressing “On/Off”, unplug the ice maker from the wall outlet and allow it to warm up to room temperature.
2. If residual water is found in the ice tray, gently push the ice tray back so that all water drains into the water reservoir.
3. Move the appliance 75mm away from the working table and open the drain plug to drain out excess water (see images below).
4. Remove the ice basket.
5. Clean the ice maker interior with a soft cloth soaked with warm water and vinegar, then rinse with clean water and then drain all the water.
6. Replace the drain plug firmly. Wash the ice basket and ice scoop in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.
7. Clean the exterior of the ice maker with a soft damp cloth. Use a mild dishwashing soap, if necessary.
   

Notes:

• Do not use organic solvent, boiled water, detergent, strong acid and strong alkali etc. for cleaning.
• Do not clean the evaporator.
• Please empty the water reservoir and dry it for storage if the ice maker is not use for a long time.
