Using Your Ice Maker
Before using your ice maker it is strongly recommended to clean it thoroughly. 
Read and follow the Cleaning and Maintenance section of the manual before 
proceeding. 
 
Follow the steps below to start using your ice maker. 
 
1. Open the top cover and remove any packaging tape that may be holding down 
the ice case, ice shovel, ice basket, and ice scoop. Remove the ice scoop. 
2. Remove the ice basket and clean it. 
3. Clean the water reservoir. 
4. Pour water into the water reservoir. Keep the water level below the “MAX” 
water mark. 
5. Insert the ice basket into the water reservoir. 
6. Close the lid. 
7. Plug the ice maker’s power plug in to a grounded outlet. 
8. Press the On/Off button on the Control Panel. 
9. Press the Select button on the Control Panel to choose between small and 
large sized cubes. If the room temperature is lower than 60°F, it is best to select 
the small size setting; otherwise, the ice cubes may stick together. The ice 
making cycle may take up to thirteen minutes for a single batch of ice. 
 
Notes: If the water pump is unable to detect or pump water, the unit will stop 
automatically, and the “Add Water” indicator will be lit. Add water to the unit and 
restart the unit by pressing the On/Off button twice. 
The ice maker will continue making ice until the ice basket is full. When the ice 
basket is full “Ice Full” indicator will be lit.
CAUTION: Direct sunlight may 
cause the ice full infrared sensor to 
malfunction. If the unit continues to 
produce ice even though the basket 
is full, you may need to move the 
unit away from the sunlight. 
IMPORTANT: Discard the first 
batch of ice produced by the 
portable ice maker.
