3. Insert the plug into the mains wall socket (230V) and switch on the outlet.
4. Select the size cubes required: S = Small
M = Medium

light indicator will go on to indicate that the unit is operating under the high external
temperature setting.

fingers or any utensil into the processing chamber to free any trapped ice.
8. Once the ice tray is full, the ‘Ice Full’ indicator light will come on, and the unit will stop
producing ice. The unit will start producing ice again once the ice tray is emptied, after
a 10 minute delay.
