Press the “ON/OFF” button, fill water up to the maximum water level and press the “ON/OFF” button again to turn the unit back on. Allow the appliance to rest for at least 3 minutes before starting it again.
  7. If the “Ice Full” indicator is lit up, the unit will stop and the ice cubes must be removed from the basket.
  8. For reasons of hygiene, the water in the container should be changed at least once a day.
