The ice maker should be on a flat surface. Keep it dry. Avoid heat sources and direct sunlight. Close to a water sink would be better for easy draining and cleaning.

There is a small hidden water tank over the freezing components. The unit will pump water from the reservoir. Thus it's normal to see water flowing out from the top for the first 5 minutes.

Please press the Clean Bottom for 3 seconds to enter Defrosting Mode (it would take approx 30 min to complete).

Insert one end of the 1/4 inch diameter water line into the water inlet. Connect the other endto the water source. Use a faucet adapter if needed.

Clean every two weeks. Note: It is better to use the cleaning solution to clean. After cleaning, please fill with water to run 3-4 times (and change clean water every time) to remove all the cleaning solutions within the unit.

No, countertop ice makers use significantly less electricity compared to refrigerators. For example, a GEVI ice maker uses about 120 to 170 watts, while a refrigerator typically uses 300 to 800 watts.
