• 3) ICE FULL: Ice full alarm
• When the ice reaches the maximum capacity of the ice storage container, the “ICE FULL” light flashes, and the machine stops. At this time, the ice needs to be poured out. When the ice position is lower than the full sensor position, the machine will restart automatically.
• 4) ICE MAKING: Ice making
• When this light is always on, it means that the ice maker is making ice.

USE YOUR ICE MAKER

Step 1

• Open the lid and take out the basket and add water to the reservoir.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Please note, if a power failure occurs due to disconnection of the power cord, or the power button has been pushed off during an ice making cycle, 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 remove the ice to ice basket. If not, please push the ice shovel gently by finger, then press POWER button to restart.
