How To Use A Countertop Ice Maker?
A Portable Ice Machine is usually a pretty easy-to-use device, regardless of the model or brand. There are a few principles to ensure proper and safe usage (it is always good to take a look at the user’s manual of your device). Below we have a step by step mini-guide that will help you with properly using a portable ice maker:
- Set up your darn machine xD
- Make sure the coolant is settled by letting your device stay still in a flat place overnight (the recommended time is 5 hours, but I personally let it sit for a whole day) before the first usage.
- Plug it into the power outlet and make sure the device is ON. As basic as that might sound people tend to oversee the most obvious things in life.
- Fill up the water tank, ideally with distilled water for better ice cubes.
- If your device has an option for different ice sizes, select the desired one.
- Drink a beer and let it do its magic, the ice cubes will fall into the ice tray.
- In the event your machine doesn’t have a sensor to automatically turn it off when the ice tray is full, you can manually switch it off.
- You can use the ice right away or put it into your cooler or freezer, otherwise, it’ll melt.
- Never shake or tilt your ice maker, make sure you give it its proper maintenance.
And that’s it, it’s not a big deal since free-standing ice machines are user-friendly and you can learn how to use them just by reading the buttons on the digital panel.
