2. Belangrike veiligheidsinstruksies
Om die risiko van brand, elektriese skok of besering te verminder wanneer u u ysmasjien gebruik, volg hierdie basiese voorsorgmaatreëls:
- Lees alle instruksies voor gebruik.
- Moenie die verdamper of ysmandjie aanraak terwyl die eenheid in werking is nie.
- Moenie die toestel, kragkabel of prop in water of ander vloeistowwe dompel nie.
- Noukeurige toesig is nodig wanneer enige toestel deur of naby kinders gebruik word.
- Ontkoppel die ysmasjien van die stopcontact wanneer dit nie gebruik word nie en voor skoonmaak.
- Moenie enige toestel gebruik met 'n beskadigde koord of prop, of nadat die toestel wanfunksioneer of op enige manier beskadig is nie.
- Moenie buite gebruik nie.
- Do not place the ice maker on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Ensure proper ventilation: Allow at least 4 inches of clear space around the unit for adequate airflow.
- Use only potable (drinkable) water. Filtered water is recommended to prolong the life of the unit and improve ice quality.
- After transporting the unit, allow it to stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle.
3. Aan die gang

- Druk die KIES button to choose your desired ice cube size: S (Klein) of L (Large). The corresponding indicator light will illuminate.
- The ice maker will begin the ice-making cycle. The first batch of ice may take 6-12 minutes. Subsequent batches will be faster.
- Wanneer die ysmandjie vol is, die YS VOL indicator will light up, and the ice maker will stop producing ice. Remove ice from the basket to resume operation.
- When the water level is low, the VOEG WATER BY indicator will light up. Add more water to the reservoir to continue ice production.

Berging van ys:
The ice maker is not a freezer and will not keep ice frozen indefinitely. For longer storage, transfer the ice cubes to the provided ice bags and store them in your freezer.
