- Open the top cover and turn it upside down.
- Press down on the center of the ice maker box and pull out the ice block. If the ice is difficult to remove, partially soak the ice maker box in hot water to loosen it.
- Place the ice block in the bowl (ice container) of the appliance with the flat surface facing down.
- Place the motor block on the bowl filled with ice. Do not force it if the motor block lifts slightly due to the amount of ice.
