TIPS FOR YOUR ICE MAKER

Opening the lid for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
It is normal for the compressor and condenser surface to reach temperatures between 70°C and 90°C during operation and surrounding areas may be very hot.
Due to fast freezing, ice cubes may become opaque. This is due to air becoming trapped in the water and will not affect the quality or taste of the ice.
Do not use with water that is micro biologically unsafe or of unknown quality. Always use fresh water before starting ice production either at initial installation or after a long shut-off.

MAINTENANCE

If the unit fails to operate efficiently, is broken or other problems arise, unplug and do not operate.
