Operation

Making Ice Cubes
NOTE:

• For hygienic reasons do not use the ice cubes from the first cycle.
• The first few ice cubes will be small depending on the water temperature and ambient temperature. The ice cubes will only grow larger in the following cycle.
• For best results, aim for a water temperature of between 7 °C and 20 °C as well as an ambient temperature of between 16°C and 25°C.
• Due to fast freezing the ice cubes can look “milky”. This is the air trapped in the water and does not influence the quality of the ice cubes.
• If you want clear ice cubes, use chilled drinking water which has firstly been boiled.

1. Refer to figure A on page 3. Pull the ice cube tray about half way.

2. Using the supplied measuring beaker as a guide, pour at least 0.8 ℓ drinking water, to a maximum of 1.7 ℓ, into the water tank through the ice cube tray.
   NOTE:
   • You can also pull out the ice cube tray completely. By doing so you pour the drinking water directly into the water tank.
   • The FULL mark can be found on the water tank.

3. Close the ice cube tray.

4. tart ice cube production by touching ON / OFF on the display. The indicator lamp rotates. The ice cube size that was last set is flashing

5. Touching MODE on the display allows you to select the desired ice cube size. An ice cube making cycle lasts between 8 and 12 minutes. Keep the ice cube tray closed during ice cube making.

Stop Ice Cube Production
Touch ON / OFF on the display to stop ice cube production.
NOTE:
If operation is manually interrupted, water which is no longer needed is fed back to the water tank. Only then will the appliance stop. Half­finished ice cubes remain  uspended on the cooling rods. As soon as it is sufficiently thawed, it will fall off and drop into the ice cube tray.
Indicator Lamp  (Ice Cube Tray Full)
The temperature sensor stops the ice cube production as soon as the ice cube container is full.
The indicator lamp then lights up and you hear several signal tones. The appliance switches into standby mode.
NOTE:
When removing the ice cube tray, some water will drip through the holes onto the floor.

• Remove the ice cubes with the supplied ice cube scoop.
• The indicator lamp turns off and a few moments later ice cube production starts again.

Indicator Lamp (Water Refill)
The indicator lamp turns on if the water tank is nearly empty and a beep tone sounds. Ice cube production is automatically halted.

• Empty the ice cube tray.
• Refill with potable water as described in chapter “Make ice cubes”. Since there may still be water in the appliance, check the FULL mark in the water tank.
• Close the ice cube tray.
• Touch ON / OFF two times on the display to resume the ice cube production. The indicator lamp turns off.

• Switch off the appliance before cleaning and disconnect the mains plug.
• Never immerse the appliance in water to clean it. Doing so may lead to electric shock or fire.
