Use of the Ice Maker

Operating the Ice Maker
After installing your Ice Maker following the instructions above and making all necessary connections;

1. Make sure that the power outlet you are using for your ice-maker is live and has power.
2. Turn on the water.
3. Set the On-Off button at the front of your product to the On position. (When you set it to the On position, the power light on the button will turn on.)
4. The product will automatically go into a delay-time mode for 1 minute after it is turned on.
5. At the end of the delay-time mode, the product will start getting water and making ice.
6. Your product will complete the ice-making cycle after a certain time, depending on the ambient and water temperature.
7. To change the dimple size of the ice made by the ice maker, adjust the potentiometer in the direction of the arrow. (See Figure-2).

NOTE
To allow your product to make ice in the optimum dimple size and time, you need to wait for at least 2 hours after the installation, before turning on the machine.

Measuring the Mains Water Supply Hardness and Use of Water Filter

Use of test paper:

• Dip the test paper into the mains water for 1 second.
• Take the paper out of the water and shake.
• Compare what you see on the paper with the color scale.
• Consider our recommendations on the use of filters according to the hardness table.

The hardness is directly proportional to the lime the water contains. As the hardness increases, the number of lime increases. The lime in the water is inconvenient for the proper functioning of your lce Maker. Case of non-usage of a filter, it can cause very frequent maintenance and malfunctions that might require repairs out of warranty even in waters that can be classified as soft.

• The use of a filter is not required.
• The use of a filter is recommended for the life of your ice Maker.
• The filter has to be used. (!)

Should not be operated without a filter.
