OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This portable icemaker uses a fully automatic control system, with an advanced microcomputer for

easy and convenient ice making. Making ice is simple and fast. Just add water, plug into an outlet, and

press the ON button. You can select one of the two ice cube sizes with the touch of a button.      

 

There are warning indicators that alert you to fill water when the reservoir is empty and to remove ice

when the ice basket is full. The icemaker also has built-in safeguards that can limit accidental damage, 

automatically shutting down the system when necessary.

BEFORE FIRST USE Please read carefully.

1. Unpack the appliance, then check and make sure that all the accessories including ice basket and 

ice scoop etc. are complete. Please contact with the customer service department if some accessories 

are missed.

2. Please ensure the ice maker is level and on a stable table or platform to avoid malfunction.

3. The incline angle of the ice maker cabinet should not exceed 45°during transportation or use. 

Do not turn the ice maker upside down. Doing so could 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. Before using the ice maker for the first time, please wait for 2 hours after 

the unit has been leveled and positioned in the proper place.

4. The appliance must be placed on a dry and level surface with sufficient ventilation, far from heat 

sources such as ovens, heaters and corrosive gases.Leave about a 6” (15cm) clearance on all sides 

of the ice maker for proper ventilation.

5. 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.
