Operation
Control Panel
Making Ice
Note: Before using for the first time, clean the water tank, ice basket and ice basket shelf. Use the first 3 ice making cycle to flush out the system. Discard the water and ice created from the first 3 cycles.
Each time the appliance is refilled, the first ice making cycle is used to reduce the water temperature. This results in uneven ice cube production which is perfectly normal. You may wish to discard ice created in the first two production cycles.
-
Lift the access lid and fill the water tank up the level of the ice basket shelf.
-
Connect the appliance to the power and press the “POWER” button.
-
Press the “SELECT” button repeatedly to scroll through the ice cube sizes. Stop when the required size is illuminated.
Note : The ice making cycle will vary depending on the size of cube selected. Larger cubes will take longer to produce. -
The appliance will run a start-up routine and then begin ice production.
Note : If the water level is too low, the ADD WATER indicator lights up and the appliance stops working. Fill the water tank and the appliance will restart automatically. -
When the cubes reach the ice sensor the appliance will stop production. Production resumes once ice has been removed.
Cleaning, Care & Maintenance
- Always switch off and disconnect the power supply before cleaning.
- Warm, soapy water is recommended for cleaning. Cleaning agents may leave harmful residues. DO NOT wash the base unit, instead wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
- A Nisbets Essentials agent or qualified technician should carry out repairs if required.
- Clean the water filter regularly with a small brush, particularly in hard water areas. The water filter is located in the pump inlet at the bottom of the water tank, remove by pulling out with fingers.
- If the appliance is to be left unused for longer than 24 hours, loosen the drain screw and drain the water from the tank.
- The inner removable parts and water tank should be cleaned regularly.
Automatic cleaning
- Remove the ice basket. Then add dilute cleaner into the water tank. Note: Choose ice maker specific cleaner and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Press the “CLEAN” button. The “CLEAN” indicator flashes and auto cleaning cycle starts. After auto- cleaning done, the “CLEAN” indicator will go out.
- Turn the unit off and disconnect from power supply. Loosen the drain screw to drain the solution.
Note : After auto-cleaning, use the first 3 ice making cycles to flush out the system. Discard the water and ice created from these initial cycles.
