Frequently Asked Questions - NIM026MB00 NewAir

What to do if the ADD (Add Water) indicator is on?

The ADD light indicates low water in the reservoir. Stop the machine, fill water to the max level mark, then press the Power button again to restart.

What does the FULL indicator mean?

The FULL light turns on when the ice basket is full. Remove the ice for the machine to resume production automatically. You can also hold the Power button for 5 seconds to force 10 additional cycles.

Why are my ice cubes sticking together?

This can happen if the cycle is too long or the water is too cold. Try selecting the small size with the ICE SIZE button, or replace the water in the reservoir (recommended temperature: 40°F to 90°F).

The machine runs but does not produce ice, what should I do?

Check that the ambient temperature is between 50°F and 105°F and the water temperature is between 40°F and 90°F. If the problem persists, there may be a refrigerant leak or blockage; contact a qualified technician.

What type of water should I use?

Use only drinking water. Never pour other liquids into the reservoir. Change the water every 24 hours to maintain good hygiene.

How to clean the ice maker?

Remove the basket, clean the interior with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and mild detergent, then rinse with clean water. Drain the water by removing the drain plug at the front. Wipe the exterior with a clean cloth.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Only plug into a grounded outlet. Do not immerse the cord in water. Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space around the appliance. The refrigerant R600a is flammable: do not puncture the tubes and have repairs done only by a professional.

How long does it take to make ice?

The ice making cycle takes about 6 to 13 minutes, depending on the selected size and ambient temperature. The recommended ambient temperature is 50°F to 105°F.

Can I use an extension cord?

It is not recommended to use an extension cord as it may overheat. If necessary, use a cable of at least 14 AWG and a power rating of at least 1875 watts.

What to do if the ice level sensor does not stop?

Direct sunlight or reflection can interfere with the infrared sensor. Move the appliance to a location away from direct sunlight.
