SECTION 1: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 General Safety Instructions
Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Please carefully read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol:
Failure to comply with safety instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
1.2 Additional Safety Tips
As with any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions must be followed in order to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and/or injury to persons or property. Please read all instructions before using this appliance and observe the following safety tips:
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord.
• Only connect the ice maker to a properly polarized outlet. No other appliance should be plugged into the same outlet. Also make sure the plug is fully inserted into the receptacle.
• Do not place hands or objects on or near the ice maker’s evaporator when it is in operation.
• Do not cover the power cord or run it under carpeting or heat insulators. Keep the cord away from high traffic areas and never submerge it in water.
• Always turn off and unplug the ice maker from the power supply before cleaning or servicing.
• Close supervision is necessary if the ice maker is used near children.

SECTION 3: PREPARING YOUR ICE MAKER FOR USE
3.1: Unpacking Your Ice Maker
1. Remove the ice maker’s exterior and interior packaging, and remove any tape from the unit. Do not discard the unit’s box. Keep it for future storage purposes.
2. Check to make sure the components shown in the list of main parts are included (see Section 2.1).
3. Clean the interior with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. 4. Find a location for your ice maker that is positioned away from direct sunlight and other heat
sources such as stoves, furnaces and radiators.
3.2 Electrical Hazards
This appliance requires a standard 115 volt, 60 Hz electrical outlet. Consult a certified electrician for any questions regarding power and/or grounding issues.
SECTION 4: USING YOUR ICE MAKER
4.1 How to Start the Unit
1. Open the water reservoir access door and pour clean drinking water into the water reservoir. Keep the water level below the “MAX” water level mark.
2. Press the “POWER” button on the control panel to begin the ice making cycle. 3. The default ice cube size is set to large. To select a different ice cube size, press the “SELECT” button.
If the ambient room temperature is lower than 60°F, we recommend selecting the small size ice cubes, as this will prevent the ice from sticking together.
4. The ice making cycle lasts anywhere from 6 to 13 minutes, depending on the size of the ice cubes selected and the ambient temperature. The ice making time may vary significantly if the unit is being used in extremely warm temperatures.
5. While the ice maker is on, periodically verify the water level in the reservoir. If there is not enough water in the reservoir, the ice maker will automatically stop, and the “ADD WATER” indicator light will turn on.
6. Once this occurs, turn off the ice maker by pressing the “POWER” button. Allow the refrigerant inside the compressor to settle for 3 minutes. Fill the reservoir with water up to the water level mark and press the “POWER” button again to restart the unit.
7. If the ice maker is full of ice, the unit will automatically stop making ice and the “ICE FULL” indicator light will turn on.
4.2 How to Dispense Ice Cubes
1. Use a glass, cup or other receptacle to gently push the ice dispensing lever forward (part #5 in the parts diagram). Ice cubes will be dispensed into your glass or cup from the ice cube tap. Please Note: When dispensing ice cubes, always make sure the transparent viewing window located on top of the ice maker is closed, as the ice maker will not dispense ice cubes if the window is left open.
2. When the ice dispensing lever is pushed, a blue indicator light will turn on. If this light does not turn on, the ice maker will not dispense ice cubes.

4.3 Draining Your Ice Maker
Unplug the drain cap
5.1 Operating Your Ice Maker
1. Clean the ice maker’s interior (water reservoir, ice shaft, etc.) with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
2. Position your ice maker away from direct sunlight and other heat sources such as stoves, furnaces and radiators. Place the ice maker on a flat, level surface and make sure there is at least 6 inches of space in between the back and sides of the ice maker and the wall.
3. Allow the refrigerant inside the ice maker’s cooling system to settle for approximately one hour before plugging your ice maker in for the first time.
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in electric shock. If the power cord is damaged, please contact customer service.
1. This unit’s plug should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord is equipped with a threeprong plug which is compatible with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the risk of electric shock.
2. This appliance requires a standard 115volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with a threeprong ground. 3. Plug the ice maker into a dedicated, grounded wall outlet. Do not, under any circumstances, remove
the third (grounded) prong from the power cord. Direct any questions concerning power and/or grounding to a certified electrician.
5.2 Cleaning and Maintaining Your Ice Maker
1. Unplug the unit from the power supply.
2. Place a small container or receptacle under the drainage port and clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth. First pour the warm water with diluted detergent into the internal water reservoir and then into the space below the clear viewing window.
3. Use this water and detergent solution to clean the rest of the ice maker’s interior and drain out the water by unplugging the drain cap located on the bottom of the unit. Dry the interior with a soft cloth.
4. Use warm water and diluted detergent to clean the exterior of the ice maker. Dry the exterior with a soft cloth.
!
There is not enough water in the water reservoir.
Turn off the ice maker, fill it water and press the “POWER” button again to restart the unit.
The “ICE FULL” indicator is on. There is too much ice in the machine.
Remove ice from the ice basket.
The ice cubes stick together.
The ice cycle is taking too long.
Turn off the ice maker and restart it once the ice melts. Select small size ice cubes for the next cycle.
The water temperature in the inner tank is too cold.
Change the water in the inner tank. For best results, use water
that is between 45°F-90°F.
There are ice cubes inside the machine, but the ice maker won’t dispense ice cubes.
The clear viewing window is open.
Close the clear viewing window.
The moving ice shaft is blocked. Release the ice dispensing lever for 3 seconds, and then try pushing it again.
The ice making cycle is starting but no ice is being made.
Either the ambient temperature or the water temperature in the inner tank is too high.
Move the ice maker to an area with an ambient temperature under 90°F and pour cooler water into the tank.
The refrigerant is leaking. Consult a technician.
The pipe in the cooling system is blocked.
Consult a technician.
