8. The first ice making cycle will last approximately 8 - 13 minutes  
depending on the ice size that is selected. The ice making cycle starts  
with water being pumped into the Ice Tray (see #9 on Parts and  
Features list) situated below the Metal Fingers (see # 5 on Parts  
and Features list). Over the next 8 - 13 minutes ice forms on the Metal  
Fingers. Once this has completed, the Ice Tray will tilt backwards and  
the remaining water in the Ice Tray is drained back into the Water  
Reservoir. The ice cubes are then dropped from the Metal Fingers and  
pushed forward into the Ice Storage Basket. The Ice Tray will  
automatically move back into position under the Metal Fingers and  
start the next cycle.  
9. The “Ice Storage Basket Full” LED light will light up when the Ice  
Storage Basket is full and the Portable Ice Maker will stop the ice  
making cycle automatically. Gently remove the ice from the Ice Storage  
Basket with the Ice Scoop (see #8 on the Parts and Features list). Once  
the Ice Storage Basket has been emptied and the Cover closed, the unit  
will restart its ice making function automatically.
