OPERATING PROCEDURES & MAINTENANCE

UNPACKING YOUR ICE MAKER

1. Remove the exterior and interior packaging. Check that ice basket and ice scoop is included. If any parts are missing, please contact our customer service.

Turn off the unit and fill water again, then restart the unit to make ice cube. Or fill water directly and wait 20mins, the unit will restart.

Remark: The ice making cycle lasts about 13 to 25 minutes,depending on the ambient temperature. And for the first time, according to the initial water temperature, ice-making last time will be a little longer. In the extreme hot room temperature, ice-making time maybe vary a lot, but it will not exceed 35 minutes.

If you think the ice cube is not thick enough, during ice making,press the <+> and <-> to set the ice making lead time. Press one time and the ice making cycle will increase or reduce one min, 6min most. This can only start from the new cycle.
