SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  

 

Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this appliance, always exercise 
basic safety precautions, including the following: 

 

Do not use if the power supply cord is damaged. If damaged, it must be replaced by qualified 
technician/electrician.  

 

Ensure the ice maker is unplugged before cleaning or if not in use. 

 

To clean the ice maker use only mild detergents or glass cleaning products.  Never use harsh 
chemicals or solvents. 

 

Do not use this ice maker with an extension cord or power strip. Please ensure that the 
appliance is plugged directly into the electrical outlet.  

 

Close the ice maker door immediately after opening. 

 

Avoid placing the ice maker near external heat sources or direct sunlight. 

 

Make sure the ice maker is placed on a flat, level, and solid surface. 

 

Make sure that the surface on which the ice maker is placed is strong enough to hold the ice 
maker once it is fully loaded with ice. 

 

The ice maker is an electrical appliance. To avoid serious injury from electrical shock, do not 
operate the ice maker with wet hands, while standing on a wet surface, or while standing in 
water.  

 

Do not expose this appliance to rain or excessive moisture. 

 

Do not turn the ice maker upside down, on its side, or 45° or more off level.  

 

Never pull the power cord to disconnect the unit from an outlet. Grasp the plug directly and pull 
it from the outlet. 

 

This ice maker is designed for non-commercial use only. 

 

When use for the first time or when restart after long period of unused, the ice made for the first 
two times is not edible 

 

Do not plug this ice maker into the power socket before setup is completed. 

 

The cord should be secured behind the unit and should not be left exposed or dangling. 

 

Do not move this ice maker without securing the door. 

 

Performance may vary based on operational and ambient conditions.
