USING YOUR ICE MAKER
1.Select the size of the ice cube by pressing the “Select” button. If the room temperature is lower than 60°F, it is best to select the small or medium ice size, otherwise the ice cubes might stick together.
2.Open the cover, remove the ice basket and pour water into tank. Keep water level below the level mark.
3.Press “Power” on the control panel to begin the ice making cycle.
4.The ice making cycle lasts 6 to 14 minutes, depending on the size of the ice cubes selected.
5.While the ice maker is on, verify the water level periodically. If the water level is too low, the ice maker will stop automatically, and the “Water” indicator will turn on.
Press the “Power” button, fill the unit with water, and then press the “Power” button again. Allow the refrigerant inside the compressor at least 3 minutes to settle before restarting.
6.The ice maker automatically stops working when the ice basket is full.
7.Change the water in the water reservoir periodically to ensure cleanliness and hygiene.
8.It is best to use tap water or bottled drinking water in the ice maker. Distilled water may not work. If you do use distilled water and the ice maker will not function, try adding a little salt into the water (a small amount of salt added to the water should be imperceptible).
9.If the ice does not taste good, or the unit develops a musty odor, try running a few cycles of the ice maker with a mild white vinegar solution. Then empty out all the vinegar solution and run a few cycles with plain water to eliminate all traces of the vinegar.
If the ice maker will not be used for an extended period of time, you should drain the water from the reservoir.
