You simply fill them with water, select the measure of ice you need and press begin. They can store a fair measure of ice (about 1 to 2 pounds), however relying upon the "brand" the quality stockpiling contrasts, implying that occasionally a portion of the ice softens.
The beginning cost is around a hundred bucks, which is significantly less costly than under the counter ice creators. The portables ones are likewise speedier at delivering ice than under the counter machines.

Put the ice plate back in and close the cover.
Push the "ON" catch and select the span of ice you'd like. The default is "Huge" (however we observed that to be the slowest for ice generation).

The other LED notices are "Include water" and "Full ice" which will illuminate red on the off chance that you have to include more water or if the ice plate is full and should be purged.
