Warnings for the Use of the Appliance

WARNING:
The appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane (R600a) in the refrigerant circuit, a natural gas with high environmental compatibility, which is flammable. When transporting and setting up the appliance, make sure that the appliance does not fall down. The refrigerant circuit should not be damaged.

If the Refrigerant Circuit is Damaged:

• Avoid open flames and sources of ignition at all costs.
• Pull the appliance’s mains plug out of the socket.
• Ventilate the room in which the appliance is located.

CAUTION:

• Be sure to observe the waiting time of 2 hours when using the appliance for the first time or after transport, so that the refrigerant can settle. Otherwise, the refrigeration compressor would be damaged.
• If you interrupt ice cube production with the  button, wait at least 3 minutes before switching the appliance on again to avoid damaging the compressor.
• Do not disconnect the appliance from the mains while the cleaning programme is running!
• Never operate the appliance without the filter sieve!

Notes for Use

Location

• Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, water-resistant and level surface. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm from walls or objects.
• Do not place the appliance on or in the immediate vicinityof heat sources such as stoves, radiators, etc.

Electrical Connection

• Check that the mains voltage you intend to use matches that of the appliance. You will find the information on the type plate.
• Only connect the appliance to a properly installed earthed socket.

Standby Mode (Ready state)
The control lamp SMALL flashes.

Eco Save (Energy Saving Mode)
The appliance switches off when the ice cube container is full. You benefit from increased safety and lower power consumption.

Interruption of Operation
After an interruption due to lack of water, full ice cube container, manual stop or power failure, the compressor starts with a delay of 3 minutes after it is switched on again.

Ice Cubes

• You can choose between two sizes:

  • SMALL (small)
  • LARGE (large)

• Ice cubes from the first production cycle should not be used for hygienic reasons.

• The best results are achieved at a water temperature between 7 °C and 20 °C and an ambient temperature between 16 °C and 25 °C.

• Depending on the water and ambient temperature, the first ice cubes are smaller. Only in the following cycles do the ice cubes become larger.

• Due to the rapid freezing, the ice cubes may look “milky”.
  This is air trapped in the water. This does not affect the quality of the ice cubes.

• If you want ice cubes with a clear appearance, use drinking water that has previously been boiled and cooled.

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”. Use the appliance’s  cleaning programme.

Making Ice Cubes

1. Make sure that the water drain opening at the bottom of the appliance is tightly closed.

2. Open the lid and remove the ice cube container.

3. There is a filter at the bottom of the water tank. Make sure that it is firmly inserted.

4. There is an arrow in the water tank below the MAX mark.
   Fill approx. 1 litre of fresh water into the water tank, up to a maximum of below the arrow (minimum quantity: 500 ml). Only use drinking water to make ice cubes.

5. Reinsert the ice cube container and close the lid.

6. Insert the mains plug into the socket.

7. Press the  button once. The control lamps LARGE and SMALL flash alternately. The appliance is in ice cube size selection mode.

8. When the control lamp of the desired ice cube size lights up, press the button again. The compressor switches on. Ice cube production starts.
   • Keep the lid closed during ice cube production.
   • One ice cube production cycle takes between 8 and 10 minutes.

Interrupting Ice Cube Production
Press the button to stop ice cube production. The control lamp SMALL flashes.

• If operation is interrupted manually, the water that is not needed is returned to the water tank. Only then does the appliance switch off. Half-finished ice cubes remain stuck on the cooling bars. As soon as they have thawed a little, they detach and fall off.
• Please note that ice splinters can form and block the ice cube slide. In this case, after switching on, the mechanism is moved back and forth until it is free again.
  • If you want to remove the ice splinters yourself, first pull the mains plug out of the socket.
• Note the waiting time of at least 3 minutes if you want to continue the operation.
• You can change the size of the ice cubes as long as the compressor is switched off.

ICE FULL Control Lamp (Ice Cube Container Full)
As soon as the ice cube container is full, production stops.
The ICE FULL control lamp lights up. The compressor switches off.

1. Remove the ice cubes. If necessary, use the enclosed ice scoop. When removing the ice cube container, some water drips through the holes at the bottom.
2. After the ICE FULL control lamp goes out, ice cube production starts again automatically after a while.

ADD WATER Control Lamp (Water Shortage)
The control lamp indicates when there is not enough water in the water tank. Ice cube production is automatically interrupted.

1. Open the lid.
2. Empty the ice cube container.
3. Refill with drinking water as described in “Making Ice Cubes”. As there may still be residual water in the appliance, observe the MAX marking in the water tank.
4. Reinsert the ice cube container and close the lid.
5. Press the button. The ADD WATER control lamp goes out. The appliance is in standby mode again. You can continue with the operation.

Ending Operation

1. Press the button to stop ice cube production. The control lamp SMALL flashes.
2. Unplug the mains plug from the socket.
3. Remove the ice cube container.
4. Drain the remaining water as described in “Cleaning and Maintenance”.
5. Leave the lid of the appliance open so that no fungal cultures or bacteria can form.

Cleaning Programmed
With this programme, the water system is rinsed several times. The process takes about 5 minutes.
Important! The appliance should not be disconnected from the mains during the cleaning programme.

1. There is an arrow in the water tank below the MAX mark. Fill approx. 1 litre of fresh water into the water tank, up to a maximum of below the arrow.
2. While the appliance is in standby mode, press and hold the button for about 2 seconds. The appliance starts the cleaning programme. The four control lamps flash alternately.
3. The appliance automatically switches to standby mode when the cleaning programme is finished.

Filter Sieve
Clean the filter sieve at regular intervals to remove limescale deposits.

1. Pull the filter sieve off the bottom of the water tank.
2. Rinse the filter sieve under running water. You can use a nylon brush to help.
3. Put the filter sieve back on the pins at the bottom of the water tank.
