BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packaging and tape. Make sure that you have the Ice Basket
and Ice Scoop before discarding packaging.
2. Place the Ice Maker away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat,
such as a stove, furnace and or radiators.
3. Position the Ice Maker so that it is 12” (30 cm) away from the wall
on the left hand side.
4. After positioning the Ice Maker, wait 2 hours before starting.
5. Wash the interior, the Ice Basket and Ice Scoop. See the Care
and Cleaning section.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
In the event that the power to the Ice Maker is inadvertently disconnected
during the ice making cycle or there are warning lights blinking on the control
panel, press the Power Button once so that it is blinking, then unplug the unit.
Wait a few minutes until the Ice Maker warms up and the ice has fallen from
the Evaporator Fingers. Empty the Water Tray by following the directions in #2
of the Care and Cleaning section. Wait 3 minutes then plug the Ice Maker into
the wall outlet. Follow the directions in the How to Use section.

HOW TO USE
1. Ensure that the Drain Plug on the left side of the unit is closed.
2. Plug the Ice Maker into the wall outlet and the green power indicator
light will blink (approximately every 5 seconds).
3. Open the Cover and remove the Ice Basket.
4. Fill the Water Reservoir. NOTE: Do not fill above the water level
mark at the back of the Water Reservoir.
5. Replace the Ice Basket and close the Cover.

7. The first ice making cycle will last approximately 12 – 14 minutes depending
on the ice cube size that is selected. The ice making cycle starts with water
being pumped into the Water Tray situated below the Evaporator Fingers.
Over the next 12 – 14 minutes ice forms on the Evaporator Fingers. 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 Fingers and pushed forward into the Ice
Basket by the Ice Shovel. The Ice Tray will automatically move back into
position under the Evaporator Fingers and start the next cycle.
8. The red Ice LED will light up when the ice basket is full. The Ice Maker will
stop the ice making cycle automatically. Gently remove the ice from the Ice
Basket with the Ice Scoop. Once the Ice Basket has been emptied and
the Cover closed, the Ice Maker will restart the ice making cycle automatically.
9. The red “Add Water” LED will light up when there is no more water
in the Water Reservoir. The ice making cycle will stop automatically.
Press the Power Button once (the Power Button will flash every 5 seconds).
Remove the Ice Basket and add water to the Water Reservoir. NOTE: Do not
fill above the water level mark at the back of the Water Reservoir. Replace
the Ice Basket and close the Cover. Wait 3 minutes then press the Power
Button to restart the ice making cycle.
10. When you have finished making ice, stop the ice making cycle by pressing
the Power Button. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Open the Cover
and allow the Ice Maker to reach room temperature and follow the directions
in the Care and Cleaning section.

HELPFUL HINTS
1. To ensure the cleanliness of the ice cubes, water in the Water Reservoir
should be replaced every 24 hours.
2. If the compressor stops for any reason such as water shortage, too much
ice, power outage, etc., wait 3 minutes before restarting.
3. Clean your Ice Maker regularly. See the Care and Cleaning section.
4. Do not leave the Ice Maker Cover open for extended periods of time when
making ice.

5. Due to fast freezing, ice cubes may appear cloudy. This is trapped air
in the water and it will not affect the quality or taste of the ice.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Stop the Ice Making Cycle by pressing the Power Button. Unplug the Ice
Maker from the wall outlet. Allow the unit to warm up to room temperature.
2. If the Water Tray is not in the vertical position behind the Evaporator
Fingers, gently push the Water Tray back so that all water drains into
the Water Reservoir.
3. Open the Drain Plug and remove the Silicone Stopper to drain out excess
water. Replace the Silicone Stopped and Drain Plug.
4. Remove the Ice Basket.

dishwashing soap, if necessary.
8. The Water Filter inside the Water Inlet Tube should be clean periodically
(See illustration 1). Place your finger about 1/2” into the Water Inlet
Tube. The Water Filter will stick to your finger and can Ill. 1 Water Inlet
Tube
be pulled out. Rinse the Water Filter under clean
running water. If necessary, clean with a soft brush.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled

in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised
in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type,
the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top,
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
