Warnings for the Use of the Appliance

WARNING:
The refrigerant circuit of the appliance uses the refrig-erant isobutane (R600a), a flammable natural gas with high environmental sustainability. When transporting and installing the appliance, prevent the appliance from falling down. The refrigerant circuit must not get damaged.

CAUTION:
Please observe a waiting period of 2 hours before initial operation and after moving the appliance for the refriger-ant to settle. Otherwise the compressor can be damaged.

If the Refrigerant Circuit is Damaged

• Open flames and ignition sources must be avoided.
• Disconnect the mains plug.
• Ventilate the room in which the appliance is installed.

Notes for Use

• Location

  • Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, water-resist-ant and level surface. Maintain a gap of at least 15 cm to walls or objects.
  • Do not place the appliance on or directly next to heat sources such as ovens, radiators, etc.

• Electrical Connection

  • Insert the appliance plug of the power supply cord into the socket on the back of the appliance.
  • Before inserting the plug into the socket. Make sure that the mains voltage to be used matches that of the appli-ance. You can find this information on the nameplate.
  • Connect the appliance to a properly installed wall outlet. A signal tone will sound. The appliance is in standby mode.

• Standby (Standby Mode)

  • The buttons ON / OFF and MODE are illuminated in the display.
  • The ice cube size that was last set is flashing.

• Using the “Touchscreen”
  The appliance is operated through the touchscreen. Touch the displayed buttons ON / OFF and MODE gently with your finger to execute the functions.

• Ice Cube Size
  You may choose between 3 sizes:

  • small (S)
  • medium (M)
  • large (L)

• Eco Save (Power Saving Mode)
  Once the ice cube container is full the appliance switches into standby mode.
  You benefit from better safety and lower energy consumption.

Operation

Making Ice Cubes

1. Refer to figure A on page 3. Pull the ice cube container about half way.
2. Using the supplied measuring beaker as a guide, pour at least 0.8 litres drinking water, to a maximum of 1.7 litres, into the water tank through the ice cube container.
   • You can also pull out the ice cube container com-pletely. By doing so you pour the drinking water directly into the water tank.
   • The FULL mark can be found on the water tank.
   • For best results, aim for a water temperature of between 7 °C and 20 °C as well as an ambient tem-perature of between 16 °C and 25 °C.
   • If you want clear ice cubes, use chilled drinking water which has firstly been boiled.
3. Close the ice cube container.
4. Start ice cube production by touching ON / OFF on the display. The control lamp rotates. The ice cube size that was last set is flashing
5. Touching MODE on the display allows you to select the desired ice cube size.
   • For hygienic reasons do not use the ice cubes from the first cycle.
   • The first few ice cubes will be small depending on the water temperature and ambient temperature. The ice cubes will only grow larger in the following cycle.
   • Due to fast freezing the ice cubes can look “milky”. This is the air trapped in the water and does not influ-ence the quality of the ice cubes.
6. Keep the ice cube container closed during ice cube making. An ice cube making cycle lasts between 8 and 12 minutes.

Stop Ice Cube Production
Touch ON / OFF on the display to stop ice cube production.
– If operation is manually interrupted, water which is no longer needed is fed back to the water tank. Only then will the appliance stop. Half-finished ice cubes remain suspended on the cooling rods. As soon as it is suffi-ciently thawed, it will fall off and drop into the ice cube container.

Control Lamp (Ice Cube Container Full)
As soon as the ice cube container is full, the sensor stops production.

The control lamp then lights up and you hear several signal tones. The appliance switches into standby mode.

• Remove the ice cubes with the supplied ice cube scoop. When removing the ice cube container, some water will drip through the holes onto the floor.
• The control lamp turns off and a few moments later ice cube production starts again.

Control Lamp (Water Refill)
The control lamp turns on if the water tank is nearly empty and a beep tone sounds. Ice cube production is automati-cally halted.

1. Empty the ice cube container.
2. Refill with potable water as described in chapter “Making Ice Cubes”. Since there may still be water in the appli-ance, check the FULL mark in the water tank.
3. Close the ice cube container.
4. Touch ON / OFF two times on the display to resume the ice cube production. The control lamp turns off.

Troubleshooting

Plug in the mains plug correctly.
Check the main circuit breaker.
The appliance is faulty.| Contact our service centre or a specialist.
Compressor noisy.| Mains power supply too low.| Turn the appliance off and check the mains power supply.
Control lamp  flashes.| Water refill.| Add water as described in the chapter “Operation”

“Making Ice Cubes”.

The control lamp lights up.| The ice cube container is full.| Empty the ice cube container.
The ice cubes are too small.| Surrounding temperature is too high.| Place the appliance in a cooler location. Make sure there is

adequate air circulation around the appliance.
