Location

• Before using the Ice Maker for the first time, please wait 2 hours after positioning it, and keep the transparent lid open for at least 2 hours.
• For indoor use only. Do not use outdoors or near water.
• Always locate your appliance away from the edge of the worktop.
• Do not upend this product or incline it over a 45° angle. Ensure that the appliance is used on a firm, flat surface.
• Keep the appliance 15 cm from other objects to ensure the heat generated is released.
• Do not use the appliance close to flames, hot plates, or stoves.

Power cord

• WARNING: This appliance should NOT be used with extension leads and/or power boards.
• WARNING: When positioning the appliance, ensure the power cord is not trapped or damaged.
• WARNING: This appliance should NOT be used with extension leads and/or power boards.
• The power cord should reach from the socket to the appliance without straining the connections.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Remove the plug from the socket, grasp the plug, and pull out the power cord; do not pull on the cord directly.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, and keep it away from any hot surfaces.
• Do not let the cord run across an open space, e.g., between a low socket and a table.

Personal safety

• WARNING: To protect against fire, electric shock, and personal injury, do not immerse the cord, plug, or appliance in water or any other liquid.
• WARNING: The appliance surface is subject to residual heat after use.
• WARNING: Fill with potable water only.
• The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating.

• Do not move the appliance while switched on.
• Do not use accessories that are not recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not touch the evaporator when using the ice maker, as the user may suffer from frostbite.
• Due to fast freezing, ice cubes may become opaque. This is due to air becoming trapped in the water and will not affect the quality or taste of the ice.
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality. Always use fresh water before starting ice production, either at initial installation or after a long shut-off.

Electrical requirements

• Check that the voltage on the rating label of your appliance corresponds with your house electricity supply, which must be A.C.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packaging materials and read all instructions.
2. Check that all accessories are complete and the appliance is not damaged.
3. Clean all parts to remove any dust or manufacturing residue.
4. Clean the water tank, ice basket, and scoop with clean water.
5. The incline angle of the ice maker should not exceed 45° during transportation or use. Do not turn the ice maker upside down. Doing so could cause the compressor or refrigerating system to operate incorrectly. Please allow time for the liquid in the compressor to settle after the ice maker is moved or transported. Before using the ice maker for the first time, please wait for 2 hours after the unit has been positioned on a level surface.
6. The appliance must be placed on a dry and level surface with sufficient ventilation, far from heat sources such as ovens, heaters, and corrosive gases. Leave around 15 cm clearance on all sides of the ice maker for proper ventilation.
7. Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water. This may damage the ice maker. It is best to fill the water tank with water that is room temperature or lower. The water quality added to the tank should be drinkable.
8. Do not use the appliance in a very cold environment (lower than 5°C).
9. Run the Clean Program, as described in more detail on page 12.

USING YOUR ICE MAKER

1. Ensure the drainage plug at the bottom of the water tank is closed securely.
2. Plug the ice maker into a wall outlet. The POWER indicator will blink. NOTE: The appliance should be rested for 30 minutes before plugging into a wall outlet, if it has been moved.
3. Open the transparent lid, remove the ice basket, and fill the water tank with drinkable water. NOTE: Do not fill above the MAX water level mark.
4. Replace the ice basket and close the transparent lid.
5. If you want to clean the appliance, press the SELECT button and select CLEAN during the standby mode, then press the ON/OFF button to start the cleaning program.
6. The ice-making cycle will last approximately 7–15 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature and water temperature.
7. The ice-making cycle begins with water being pumped into the ice tray situated below the evaporator. Over the next 7–15 minutes, ice forms on the evaporator. Once this has completed, the ice tray will tilt backwards, and the remaining water in the ice tray will be drained back into the water tank. Ice cubes are then dropped from the evaporator and pushed forward into the ice basket by the ice shovel. The ice tray will automatically move back into position under the evaporator and start the next cycle.
8. The ICE FULL indicator will illuminate when the ice basket is full, and the ice maker will stop making ice automatically. Gently remove the ice from the ice basket with the ice scoop. The ice maker will restart its ice-making function automatically after approximately 5 minutes.
9. The ADD WATER indicator will light up when the water tank is out of water, and the ice-making cycle will stop automatically. Remove the ice basket and add water to the water tank, then press the ON/OFF button again to restart the ice-making cycle. The appliance will start working automatically after 20 minutes if the user forgets to restart the appliance after refilling water.
10. When you have the desired amount of ice, stop the ice-making cycle by pressing the ON/OFF button and unplugging the unit from the wall outlet.
11. Open the transparent lid and transfer the ice to a freezer.
12. Allow the ice maker to reach room temperature before storing.

CARE & CLEANING

• Clean the water tank if the appliance has water in the tank unused for 48 hours.
• If the appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the lid open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
• Tilt the appliance around 30° and move it forward to the place where the drainage plug is about 60 mm away from the countertop. Open the drainage plug and drain the excess water (see below).
• To clean the unit manually, remove the ice basket and clean the ice maker interior with a soft cloth soaked with warm water and vinegar, then rinse with clean water and drain all the water by pulling out the drainage plug (see page 11).
• Replace the drainage plug securely in position. Wash the ice basket and ice scoop in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
• Clean the exterior of the ice maker with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild dishwashing soap, if necessary.

NOTE: Do not use organic solvents, boiling water, detergent, strong acid, strong alkali, etc., for cleaning.

Clean Program

• The ice maker is equipped with a cleaning program that can be selected at any time when the unit is in standby mode. If the ice maker is in the ice-making cycle, press the On/Off button to cancel the ice-making process and allow the unit to return to the standby mode.
• Press the SELECT button until the CLEAN indicator light appears, and the CLEAN program will begin running water from the tank through the ice maker and will run for 5 cycles, with each cycle taking 60 seconds.
• The ice maker will return to standby mode when the CLEAN program finishes.
• Empty the water reservoir and dry it for storage if the ice maker will not be used for a long time.

TROUBLESHOOTING

TIPS FOR YOUR ICE MAKER

• Opening the lid for long periods can cause a significant increase in the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• If the appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the lid open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
• It is normal for the compressor and condenser surface to reach temperatures between 70°C and 90°C during operation, and the surrounding areas may be very hot.

NOTE: The ice-making output will vary based on the ambient room and water temperature. Below is a guide to how much ice can be produced and how often each ice-making cycle runs.
