- Operation: After plugging in, the appliance enters standby mode with the "ICE-MAKING" indicator flashing green. Press the power button once to start ice production in big ice cube mode (indicator stabilizes green). To switch to small ice cube mode, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds during an ice-making cycle (indicator turns yellow). The machine will remember the last used ice cube size.
- Stopping Operation: During an ice-making cycle, quickly press the power button once to stop operation (indicator flashes green).

- "ADD WATER" (B): Lights up red when water is insufficient.
- "ICE FULL" (C): Lights up red when the ice box is full.
- "POWER" (D): On/Off button.
- Automatic Shut-off: The machine automatically stops when the ice box is full or when water is insufficient. It restarts when ice is removed or water is refilled (after pressing the power button to restart if due to low water).
- Troubleshooting: If "ICE FULL" and "ADD WATER" indicators flash simultaneously, it indicates an error, and the user should refer to the troubleshooting page.
- Storage: When not in use, turn off the ice maker, unplug the power cord, and remove any remaining water from the drainage outlet. Dry the interior with a clean soft cloth.
Maintenance Features:

- Power Disconnection: Always cut off the power supply and pull out the plug before cleaning.
- Cleaning Agents: Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents, which can damage the machine or cause harmful substances.
- Exterior Cleaning: Do not rinse the outside of the machine directly with water; wipe with a wet cloth instead.
- Interior Cleaning: Dry the inside and outside of the machine with a soft and clean cloth.
- Drain Plug: Check regularly whether the drain plug is loose to prevent leakage. Clean it after first time use or long time left idle.
- Disinfection Solution: Use water and vinegar, or citric acid (ratio: 10:1).
- Evaporator (Icing Column) Cleaning: Wipe the interior with a neutral cleaning agent, including the hand-touchable evaporator.
- Ice Cube Removal: After ice-making water, run the ice maker and discard the ice cubes produced in the first four cycles. Then remove the remaining water from the drain and reinstall the drain plug to ensure that the plug is in place.
- Soft Cloth Cleaning: Re-use clean, soft cloth to clean the remaining watermarks. Finish cleaning.
- Strange Smell: If the ice has a strange taste, or if the ice has a disgusting or mildew odor, refer to the steps above to clean the inside of the machine.
