SETTING UP YOUR ICE MAKER
1 Place your ice maker on a level surface in a location where your ice maker is
protected from direct sunlight and other sources of heat (such as a stove,
furnace, or radiator).
2 Make sure that there is at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between the back
and sides of your ice maker and the surrounding walls.
3 Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth, then
rinse with clear water.
4 Take out the ice basket and clean it.
5 Unplug the water drain cap to remove all water. Replace the water drain plug
before lling with water.
6 Before using your ice maker for the rst time, run two to three cycles of ice
and dispose of them to help remove any plastic odor or residue from the
manufacturing and shipping process.
USING YOUR ICE MAKER FOR THE FIRST TIME
WARNINGS:
• Your ice maker must be grounded. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding-type plug. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not t into
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Before plugging in your ice maker, wait one hour for the refrigerant uid to settle.
1 Make sure that the water drain plug is in place and secure.
2 Open the cover, remove the ice basket, then pour drinking water into the
reservoir. Make sure that the water level is below the MAX line.
WARNING: Fill with drinking water only
MAX line
3 Replace the ice basket, then close the cover.
4 Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
5 Press the ON/OFF button. The power indicator lights.
6 Press the SELECT button to select the ice cube size. If the room temperature is
lower than 60°F (16°C), we recommend that you select the small cube size to
keep ice from sticking together.
Notes:
• When the ice basket is full, your ice maker automatically stops making ice and the ICE
FULL indicator lights.
• After ice is made and goes into the ice basket, the ice begins to melt. To save the ice,
remove it from the basket and freeze it. Otherwise, the ice melts, the water goes back
into the reservoir, and your ice maker recycles the water to make ice again.
• The ice making cycle lasts 6 to 13 minutes, depending on the selected ice cube size and
the ambient temperature. If the room is extremely hot, the cycle may take longer.
• While your ice maker is on, check the water level periodically. If the water level is too
low, your ice maker stops automatically and the ADD WATER indicator light will
illuminate. Turn o your ice maker, then ll the reservoir to the level mark. Wait at least
three minutes for the refrigerant liquid inside the compressor to settle, then turn on
your ice maker.
• Change the water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure that the water is fresh
and the ice tastes good.
• If your ice maker is not in use, drain all water left in the tank.

To clean your ice maker, follow the instructions in steps 3-5 in SETTING UP YOUR ICE
MAKER.
• Clean the ice maker at least once a week or every three days if your water quality
is poor.
