Product Information
Full details
The Daewoo 12kg Countertop Ice Maker is designed for home entertainers, families, and office breakrooms, providing a constant supply of ice without the inconvenience of traditional freezer trays. Its primary benefit is the rapid production cycle, churning out nine bullet-shaped cubes in just six minutes, though users should note that as a countertop model, it requires regular manual water refills and does not maintain the ice in a frozen state like a freezer, meaning it should be used immediately or stored in a separate freezer.

FAQs
Does this machine need to be connected to a water supply?
No, this is a manual-fill unit. You simply pour water into the internal reservoir.
Can I leave the machine running all day?
Yes, but once the 'Ice Full' sensor is triggered, the machine will stop production until you remove the ice from the basket.
What is the benefit of the two ice size options?
Small cubes are ideal for cocktails and quick chilling, while large cubes melt slower, making them better for sodas or water.
How often should I run the self-cleaning cycle?
It is recommended to run the self-cleaning cycle once every few weeks, or whenever you notice any mineral buildup.
Is the ice maker noisy?
It emits a soft hum during the cooling process and a clicking sound when the ice is released, which is standard for compressor-based ice makers.
Troubleshooting
The 'Add Water' light is on even though the tank is full.
Ensure the water sensor at the bottom of the reservoir is clean and not obstructed by debris or scale.
The ice cubes are melting quickly.
The ice storage basket is not refrigerated; transfer ice to a freezer immediately after production if it is not being used right away.
The machine is producing ice very slowly.
Check that the room temperature is not too hot and ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit's cooling vents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before the first use, wipe the interior with a soft cloth and run the self-cleaning programme to ensure the system is sanitized. Place the unit on a flat, stable surface with at least 10cm of clearance on all sides to allow for adequate ventilation. To care for the machine, always use fresh, filtered water to prevent scale build-up. Regularly empty and wipe down the removable basket with mild detergent. When the 'Add Water' indicator illuminates, pause the cycle, add water to the fill line, and restart. When moving the device using the handle, ensure the water reservoir is completely empty to prevent spills.
