How to Use the Ice Maker

Before First Use:

1. Remove all packaging materials, such as plastic bags and foam inserts. Check to ensure that all parts and accessories are included before throwing out the packaging.
2. Read and remove any stickers on the ice maker except for the rating label, which should remain on the unit.
3. Wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel and dry thoroughly. Wash the removable ice basket and ice scoop with a sponge and warm, soapy water, and dry completely.
4. Place the ice maker on a level surface away from direct sunlight and other heat sources. Keep at least 6 inches of clearance on all sides of the unit to ensure proper ventilation. NOTE: If using the unit outdoors, be cautious of weather and extreme temperatures (ideal ambient temperature is between about 50°F/10°C and 90°F/32°C), as these can affect the ice-making process or damage the unit.
5. IMPORTANT: Wait 2 hours for the refrigerant fluid to settle before plugging the unit in for the first time.
6. Before making ice for the first time, prime the ice maker by running the self-cleaning function (see Keep It Clean on p. 12).

Quick Start: How to Make Ice

The ice maker completes a batch of easy-to-make, restaurant-style ice in about 8 minutes, perfect for all of your ice needs.

1. Make sure the drain plug on the bottom of the unit is closed. If it is not, push it firmly into place.
2. Set the ice maker on a hard, level surface away from any sources of heat, with at least 6 inches of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation. Plug in the ice maker. NOTE: If the ice maker has been moved since its last use, let it sit for 30 minutes before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant fluid to settle.
3. Open the front cover and lift out the ice basket.
4. Fill the water reservoir with filtered or bottled water up to but not exceeding the MAX fill line. To ensure sanitation, be sure to change the water in the reservoir once a day. CAUTION: Only use cold to room temperature water, as hot water can damage the unit.
5. Replace the ice basket and close the front cover.
6. Press the START | STOP button. The ICE indicator light will illuminate, and ice-making will begin. The ice maker will run continuously until it is turned off or the ice basket is full. It will begin producing ice in about 8 minutes and should produce a full basket in as little as 1 hour and 40 minutes (when filled to the MAX line), depending on ambient temperature and water temperature.
7. Use the ice scoop to remove and serve ice. The ice maker will not keep ice cold for extended periods of time. Store extra ice in the freezer for later use, if desired, or allow the unused ice to melt. Melted ice will drip back into the water reservoir and be reused during the ice-making process.
8. When the ice basket is full, the FULL indicator light will illuminate, and ice-making will stop. Once enough ice is removed, the ice-making cycle will restart automatically. NOTE: You do not need to wait for the ice basket to be full before removing ice. Ice can be used at any time throughout the cycle.
9. If there is not enough water to complete an ice-making cycle, the REFILL indicator light will come on, and ice-making will stop. Refill the reservoir, close the front cover, and ice-making will resume automatically.
10. If using the ice maker daily, conserve energy by unplugging it or powering it off overnight and when not needed for immediate use.

Keep It Clean

To keep your ice tasting fresh and your ice maker in prime condition, we recommend changing the water in the reservoir once a day and cleaning your ice maker at least once per week.

1. Make sure the ice maker is unplugged and at room temperature.
2. Place the unit over a proper drainage area and remove the ice basket. Pull out the drain plug on the bottom of the unit to empty the water from the reservoir. Wipe down the interior with a cloth or paper towel soaked in a mixture of water and vinegar. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Replace the drain plug, pushing it firmly into place.
3. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel, using a mild dishwashing soap, if necessary. Do NOT put the unit in the dishwasher or submerge it in water or any other liquid. Do NOT use abrasive cleansers, or you could damage the finishes.
4. Wash the removable ice basket and scoop with a sponge and warm, soapy water, and dry completely. The basket and scoop are not dishwasher safe.
5. To clean the ice maker’s internal parts, follow the instructions below to activate the self-cleaning feature when needed.
6. Always empty the water reservoir and dry completely for storage or if the ice maker will not be used for an extended period of time. This will prevent mold and mildew from forming.

Self-Cleaning Feature

The ice maker is equipped with a self-cleaning feature to ensure complete sanitation. After 100 hours of use, the CLEAN indicator light will illuminate in ice-making mode as a reminder to run the cycle. Even if used for fewer hours, we recommend running the cycle at least once a week.

1. If necessary, remove any ice and empty the water reservoir by pulling out the drain plug. Replace the drain plug, pushing it in firmly to ensure it is closed properly.
2. Fill the water reservoir to the MAX line with clean water.
3. Press the HOLD TO CLEAN button for about three seconds until the CLEAN indicator light illuminates. The cleaning function will begin automatically and run for approximately 5 minutes.
4. When the cleaning cycle is complete, empty the water reservoir by pulling out the drain plug. Follow the instructions to begin making ice, or dry completely for storage.
