BEFORE FIRST USE

This portable icemaker uses a fully automatic control system, with an advanced
microcomputer for easy and convenient ice making. Making ice is simple and
fast. Just add water, plug into an outlet, and press the ON button. You can
select one of the two ice cube sizes with the touch of a button. When first
turning on the unit or during icemaking cycles, the compressor will stay idle for
3 minutes, while energizing.

There are warning indicators that alert you to fill water when the reservoir is
empty and to remove ice when the storage basket is full. The icemaker also
has built-in safeguards that can limit accidental damage, automatically shutting
down the system when necessary.

The incline angle of the icemaker cabinet should not exceed 45˚ during

transportation or use. Do not turn the icemaker upside down.
Doing so could cause the compressor or refrigerating system to operate
incorrectly. When the icemaker is moved or transported, please allow time for
the fluids in the compressor to settle. Before using the icemaker for the first
time, please wait 2 hours after the unit has been leveled and positioned in its
proper place.
Please ensure the icemaker is level and on a stable table or platform
to avoid malfunction.
The machine must be placed on a dry and level surface with sufficient
ventilation, far from heat sources such as ovens, heaters and corrosive gases.
Leave an 8-inch clearance on all sides of the icemaker for proper ventilation.
Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water. This may damage the icemaker.
It is best to fill the water reservoir with water of room temperature or lower.
