CAUTION!
Ice made in the first cycle after cleaning should be removed for hygienic reasons and not used for drinks, because traces of cleaner could be left in the interior of the device.

WARNING! Risk of injury!
Never try inserting ice cubes under the blades of the ice crusher using your hands or other utensils.

If a larger piece of ice is stuck in the device and the blades cannot reach it, you should turn the ON/OFF switch to the “O” position and remove the cord from the outlet.
Pour hot water through the filling funnel until the embedded piece of ice melts and falls out.

When the crushing process is finished, you can remove the collection tray with crushed ice and pour the ice into an appropriate container or directly add it to the drinks.
When removing a collection tray with crushed ice the contact switch is automatically deactivated and the ice crusher stops the ice-crushing process.
Turn the ON/OFF switch to the “O” position and remove the cord from the outlet (pull out the plug!), if the device is not being used further.
