Installation

Note: If the unit has not been stored or moved in an upright position, let it stand upright for approximately 12 hours before the operation. If in doubt allow standing.

1. Remove the appliance from the packaging and remove the protective film from all surfaces.
2. When positioning the ice maker, maintain a distance of 10cm between the appliance and walls or other objects for ventilation. NEVER LOCATE NEXT TO OR NEAR A  HEAT SOURCE.
3. If necessary, adjust the screw legs of the ice maker to make it level. The efficiency of the ice maker can be reduced if the appliance is unevenly located.

Operation

Control Panel

Making Ice
Note: Before using it for the first time, clean the water tank, ice basket, and ice basket shelf. Use the first 3 ice-making cycles 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.

1. Lift the access lid and fill the water tank up the level of the ice basket shelf.

2. Connect the appliance to the power and press the START button.

3. Press the HAND button repeatedly to scroll through the ice cube sizes. Stop when the required size is illuminated.
   Note: The ice-making cycle takes between 6-12 minutes, depending on the size of the cube selected. Larger cubes will take longer to produce.

4. The appliance will run a startup routine and then begin ice production.
   Note: If the water level is too low, the Water Low indicator lights up and the appliance stops working. Fill the water tank and the appliance will restart automatically.

5. When the cubes reach the ice sensor the appliance will stop production. Production resumes once ice has been removed.

6. Press the STOP button at any time to halt the ice-making process.

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 POLAR 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.

Descaling

In hard water areas, limescale can build up within the appliance after prolonged use. To de-scale the appliance:

• Switch off and disconnect the power supply.
• Remove the ice basket and water filter for cleaning.
• Add dilute cleaner into the water tank. (Note: Choose ice maker-specific cleaner and follow  the manufacturer’s instructions.)
• Clean the water box, evaporator (metal), and water tank with a soft brush.

• Loosen the drain screw to drain the solution.
• Flush out the system thoroughly with clean water to remove any cleaner residue.
• Re-locate all removable parts.

Note: After descaling, use the first 3 ice-making cycles to flush out the system. Discard the water and ice created from these initial cycles.  POLAR recommend this appliance is descaled monthly or more frequently in hard water area.
