Warnings for the Use of the Appliance

WARNING:
The refrigerant circuit of the appliance uses the refrigerant 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 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.

Electrical Connection

1. 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.
2. Connect the appliance to a properly installed wall outlet.

Standby (Standby Mode)
If no control lamp is lit, the appliance is in standby mode.

Ice Cube Size

You may choose between 2 sizes:

• small ( – small icon)
• large ( – large icon)

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

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

1. Make sure that the water tank cap on the bottom of the appliance is tightly closed.

2. Open the lid and take out the ice cube container.

3. 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.

4. Now put the ice cube container back in and close the lid.

5. Press the button to start ice cube production.

6. Select the desired ice cube size with the button. The corresponding control lamp lights up.
   – 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.

7. Keep the lid closed during ice cube production. An ice cube making cycle lasts between 9 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 Cube Container Full)

As soon as the ice cube container is full, the sensor stops production.
The 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 turns off and a few moments later ice cube production starts again.

Control Lamp (Water Refill)

The control lamp displays when there is too little water in the water tank. Ice cube production is automatically interrupted.

1. Press the button to switch off the appliance.
2. Open the lid.
3. Empty the ice cube container.
4. 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.
5. Now put the ice cube container back in and close the lid.
6. Press the button to resume ice cube production. The control lamp 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.
• For hygienic reasons exchange the water in the tank after 24 hours.
• Remove the ice cube container after use. If the water tank remains open no mould or bacteria can form.

Self-Cleaning

1. Fill the water tank with water up to the MAX mark.
2. Press the button. Select the cleaning programme with the button. The control lamps and light up.
3. After the programme is finished, the appliance switches back to standby mode and all control lamps go out.
