Use Guide

Initial Setup and Placement

1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Place the ice maker on a flat, stable, and level countertop. Ensure there is at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance on all sides for proper air circulation.
3. Allow the unit to stand upright for at least 2 hours before first use if it was transported on its side.
4. Wipe the interior and exterior with a soft, damp cloth.

Filling the Water Tank

Manual Fill Method:

1. Open the top lid.
2. Pour clean, drinkable water into the water tank. Do not exceed the maximum water level mark. It is recommended to use pure or filtered water to extend the appliance's life.
3. Close the lid securely.

Note: The unit is designed for manual water filling. The provided product HTML does not indicate a permanent water line connection feature.

Making Ice

1. Ensure the ice basket is correctly placed inside the unit.
2. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
3. The unit may begin its initial cycle. For the first batch of ice, wait approximately 5 minutes.
4. Ice will be dispensed into the ice basket.

Using the Self-Cleaning Function

1. Ensure the water tank is filled with clean water.
2. Press and hold the "CLEAN" button for 3 seconds. The cleaning indicator light will turn on.
3. The cleaning cycle will run for 15 minutes. The unit will not produce ice during this time.
4. After the cycle completes, discard the water from the ice basket and rinse the basket.
5. It is recommended to perform a cleaning cycle at least once a week.

Removing and Emptying the Ice Basket

1. Grip the handle of the ice basket and pull it straight out.
2. Use the provided ice scoop to dispense ice.
3. To empty, simply pour out the ice. The basket can be rinsed with warm water.
4. Dry the basket and reinsert it into the unit.

Care and Maintenance

• Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
• Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Regularly clean the ice basket and scoop with mild detergent and warm water.
• For mineral deposit buildup (scale), use a dedicated ice maker cleaner/descaler following the product's instructions. Do not use vinegar or other corrosive substances unless specified as safe by the manufacturer.
• If the unit will not be used for an extended period, empty and dry all components and store in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

• Unit does not start: Check that the power cord is securely plugged in.
• No ice is produced: Ensure the water tank is filled. The unit may be in cleaning mode or the ice basket may be full (infrared sensor will stop production).
• Ice is not dispensing: Check that the ice basket is correctly positioned and not overfilled, blocking the chute.
• Unusual noise: Ensure the unit is on a level surface. Some operational noise from the compressor and fan is normal.
• Water pump runs for 5 minutes before making ice: This is a protective cleaning cycle that activates if the unit is turned off and back on within 3 minutes.
