• Remove all interior and exterior packaging materials.
• Open the lid and remove the tray and inserts from the ice maker cavity. Wash the tray and inserts by hand using warm water and soap. Carefully clean the inside of the lid using warm, soapy water and a cloth.
• The ice maker must be placed on a dry, stable and level surface with sufficient ventilation, far from heat sources such as ovens, heaters and corrosive gases.
• Leave an 8-inch clearance on all sides of the ice maker for proper ventilation.
• For best performance, ice maker should be run in an environment between 65-72°F (18-22°C). Temperatures above 72°F (22°C) may increase freeze times 0-3 hours beyond the typical cycle time of 8-12 hours. Do not operate in environments greater than 80°F (27°C).
• Do not fill the tray with hot water. This may damage the ice maker. It is best to fill the tray with room temperature water.
• Do not place other liquids or solids into the tray as it may damage the mixer or other components of the ice maker. Use for anything other than water will result in a void of the warranty.

• Plug the ice maker into a 120V wall outlet. This will turn on the ice maker. The digital display will illuminate with the Klaris logo and then default to the idle screen. The screen will read “Idle – Press to Start”
• Fill the tray to the “Fill Line.” Do not over or under fill.
• Install the inserts into the tray until the inserts are flush with the bottom of the tray. Make sure all air bubbles are removed from underneath the inserts.
• Carefully place the tray assembly into the cavity of the ice maker and close the lid.
• If the digital display is no longer showing the progress screen, rotate the knob until it appears.
• Push down on the knob to start the process. The screen will change from “Idle – Press to Start” to “Chilling.”
• To initiate Delayed Start – From the “Idle – Press to Start” screen, rotate the knob. Additional screens showing different delay times will appear (ie “Delay Start – 4hrs”). Push the knob in to initiate the desired delayed start time. A countdown timer to the start of the run will appear.
• If for any reason the process needs to be stopped during the delayed start or processing time period, rotate the knob and follow the on screen instruction to cancel the run.
• At the top of the screen, the overall process time will be displayed.
• Do not open the lid during the ice making process otherwise an alarm will trigger.
• Ice making should be completed in 8-12 hours, assuming an ambient environment of 65-72°F (18-22°C). Temperatures above 72°F (22°C) may increase freeze times 0-3 hours. When the ice making cycle is complete, the machine will beep 3 times to notify the user and the screen will read “Ice Ready.”
• The machine will actively cool the ice for up to 6 hours after completion. A hold timer will be displayed below “Ice Ready” telling the user how long they have to retrieve their ice.
• At any point during these 6 hours, the user can open the lid and remove the tray from the ice maker. For best results, try and retrieve the ice within 0-3 hours. Note: residual water and ice will be present in the tray. Drain residual water from the tray.
• Carefully remove the inserts and ice from the tray, then peel ice away from the inserts.
• Store extra cubes and/or enjoy immediately.
• If the ice is not retrieved within the 6 hour window, the machine will transition to a Timeout state and stop actively cooling the ice. See Error Table for further instructions.
• To turn the ice maker off, unplug from the outlet.

When an error message is triggered on the display screen:

• Screen will display the error description.
• Machine will beep 3 times.
• Machine will shut down the cooling cycle and any ice and/or water in the tray will no longer be actively cooled.

To clear an error:

• Note the error code and review the corresponding error description. Determine the action needed.
• Remove the tray from the machine and empty its contents. CAUTION: The lid should open easily. If not, do not try to pry open the lid as this can damage the mixer and the ice measurement probe. Unplug the machine and let it thaw completely (~ 24 hours). Do not restart a cycle until all ice has thawed, the tray has been removed, and ice/water contents emptied.
• CAUTION: If the tray is not removed and emptied of its contents, ice overgrowth could occur in the next cycle, potentially damaging the machine. Ice overgrowth is defined as ice that has formed higher than designed for machine use.
• Once complete, follow the onscreen instructions (may need to rotate knob in either direction) to acknowledge the error and progress the machine back to the “Idle – Press to Start” screen.
• Fill the tray with water. Re-install the inserts into the tray and place into the machine. The machine is now ready to start a new cycle.

The steps to clear an error are displayed as:
