small ice chips may formed and lodge in the automatic shovel causing it to
jam. If this occurs, the ice chips may be removed by disconnecting the
power cord and gently pushing the shovel to the rear of the cabinet and
removing the ice chips, then restarting.

2. Please check if the water reservoir is flat when the ice shovel can not
