- When carrying the appliance by the handle, always carry it straight and with both hands to avoid tilting the handle.
CAUTION:
Please observe a waiting period of 2 hours before initial operation and after
moving the appliance for the refrigerant 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-resistant and level surface. Maintain a gap of at least 15cm to walls or objects.
- Do not place the appliance on or directly next to heat sources such as ovens, radiators, etc.
Assembly
Assemble the carrying handle by inserting the ends into the holes in the
housing. Make sure that it is firmly seated.
Note: Once the carrying handle has been fitted, it cannot be removed!
Electrical Connection
- Before inserting the plug into the socket. Make sure that the mains voltage to be used matches that of the appliance. You can find this information on the nameplate.
- Connect the appliance to a properly installed wall outlet.
Standby (Standby Mode)
- The POWER control lamp flashes.

Operation
When using the appliance for the first time or if you have not used it for a long time, clean the appliance as described in the chapter “Cleaning and Maintenance”.
Making Ice Cubes
- Make sure that the water tank cap on the bottom of the appliance is tightly closed.
- Open the lid and take out the ice cube container.
- There is a filter at the bottom of the water tank. Make sure that it is firmly inserted.
- Fill the container with water to no more than the MAX mark. Only use drinking water to make ice cubes.
- For best results, aim for a water temperature of between 7°C and 20°C as well as an ambient temperature of between 16°C and 25°C.
- If you want clear ice cubes, use chilled drinking water which has firstly been boiled.
- Now put the ice cube container back in and close the lid.
- Select the desired ice cube size with the button. The corresponding control lamp lights up.
- Press the button to start ice cube production.
- 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 influence the quality of the ice cubes.
- Keep the lid closed during ice cube production. An ice cube making cycle lasts between 8 and 10 minutes.
Stop Ice Cube Production
Press the button 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 sufficiently thawed, it will fall off and drop into the ice cube container
Control Lamp ICE FULL (Ice Cube Container Full)
The temperature sensor stops the ice cube production as soon as the ice cube
container is full.
The ICE FULL control lamp flashes. 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 ICE FULL turns off and a few moments later ice cube production starts again.
Control Lamp ADD WATER (Water Refill)
The control lamp displays when there is too little water in the water tank.
Ice cube production is automatically interrupted.
- Open the lid.
- Empty the ice cube container.
- Refill with potable water as described in chapter “Make ice cubes”. Since there may still be water in the appliance, check the MAX mark in the water tank.
- Now put the ice cube container back in and close the lid.
- Press the button to resume ice cube production. The control lamp ADD WATER turns off.
Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING:
- Switch off the appliance before cleaning and disconnect the mains plug.
- Never immerse the appliance in water to clean it. Doing so may lead to electric shock or fire.
CAUTION:
- Do not use wire brushes or other abrasive implements.
- Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
- Do not use chemicals, acids, petrol or oil products.

- Press and hold the button for approx. 5 seconds in standby mode. The appliance switches to self-cleaning mode and the CLEAN control lamp lights up.
- After 15 minutes, the appliance switches back to standby mode and the POWER control lamp flashes.
Ice Cube Container
Remove the ice cube container. Clean it in warm rinse water with a little hand
dishwashing liquid. Rinse with clean water.
Housing and Interior
- Clean housing and interior with a damp cloth.
- Use a diluted solution of vinegar and water.
Drain Residual Water
Drain the residual water if the appliance is not in use for a longer period of
time. Rest the appliance on a table edge. Take a bowl and hold it under the
drainage opening for the residual water.
- Pull out the cap at the bottom.
- After the remaining water has drained off, put the cap back into the opening.
