TEFCOLD TC57 Ice Makers

Location: The ice machine must be located inside temperature controlled room. Running the ice machine outdoors or in an area that the temperature can go outside of the working limits may harm the machine, and your warranty may become void. Ice machines are designed and built with the highest respect for security.

Location: In case the unit is located in an area with no side ventilation, ice maker does not work properly. Leaving enough room around the unit will allow the unit work properly. Normal ice-production capacity is directly relevant with the condenser air delta temperature, water temperature, states of the condenser air channel and age of the machine.

Dear Customer,
Please always have your Ice Maker installed by an Authorized Service.
Your manufacturer’s warranty might become void in the case your Ice Maker has been installed by a third party service.

Measuring the Mains Water Supply Hardness and Use of Water Filter

(I) 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 filter according to the hardness table.
(I) The hardness is directly proportional to the lime the water contains. As the hardness increases, the amount of lime increases. The lime in the water is inconvenient for the proper functioning of your Ice Maker. In case of non- usage of a filter, it can cause very frequent maintenances and malfunctions that might require repairs out of warranty even in the waters that can be classified as soft.

• Use of filter is not required.
  ** Use of filter is recommended for the life of your Ice Maker. *** Filter has to be used. (!) Should not be operated without filter.
