Frequently Asked Questions - C25 BARTSCHER

How to connect the Bartscher C25 ice machine?

Plug the machine into a 230 V ~ 50 Hz power outlet. Connect the water inlet using a hose (½" BSP) and the drain to a sink or siphon. Make sure the water tap is open.

How long does it take to produce the first ice cubes?

The initial cycle may take between 15 and 30 minutes depending on ambient temperature and water temperature. The first ice cubes may be smaller or irregular.

What to do if the machine does not produce ice?

Check that the machine is powered on and the water reservoir is full. Make sure the water inlet hose is not kinked and the tap is open. If the problem persists, refer to the manual for error codes.

How to clean the ice machine?

Use a food-grade descaling agent following the instructions in the manual. Clean the condenser (rear grille) with a soft brush at least once a month. Rinse the water circuit thoroughly.

What is the storage bin capacity?

The storage bin can hold approximately 10 kg of ice cubes. Once full, the machine stops automatically and restarts when ice is removed.

Can I use tap water?

Yes, but hard water can scale the machine. It is recommended to use a water filter or softened water to extend lifespan and reduce maintenance.

The machine makes noise, is this normal?

Yes, compressor and water circulation noise is normal. If the noise becomes abnormal (clicking, grinding), check that the machine is level and nothing is blocking the fan.

What is the ice storage temperature?

The ice is stored at about -5 °C to -10 °C in the insulated bin. For optimal preservation, remove the ice and place it in a freezer if not used quickly.

Where to find spare parts for the C25 model?

Spare parts are available from Bartscher after-sales service or on specialized websites. The repairability index of 7.8/10 indicates good availability.

Can the machine be installed outdoors?

No, the machine is designed for indoor use at an ambient temperature of 10 °C to 32 °C. Outdoor installation could damage the compressor and components.

Before installation the local power grid specification should be compared with that of the device (see type label).

Connect the device only in case of compliance!

Take note of the security advice!

5.2 Installation and connection

ATTENTION!

Any installation, maintenance- and repair jobs must be performed by qualified personnel only (electrician or refrigeration engineer)!

• Discard the complete packing material after unpacking the device. Take out the provided accessories (Supply and outlet hose, ice scoop, gasket) from the tank.
• Place the device on top of an even and safe surface which supports the weight of the device.
• Choose a surface where the ice cube maker is not exposed to direct sunlight, or close to a direct source of heat such as a cooker, oven or radiator.
• Make sure, that a minimum distance of 10 cm is kept between all sides of the device and the wall and other objects respectively, so that a sufficient air circulation is provided.
• If the ice cube maker is kept outside during the winter and then taken inside for use, please let it warm up to room temperature before plugging it in.
• The electrical circuit in the socket must be secured to at least 16A. Only connect the device directly to the wall socket; do not use any extension cords or power strips.
• Place the device so that the plug is easily accessible and can be quickly removed from its socket in case of necessity.
• Set up the device near water supply connection.
• Connect the supply hose to the water tap. The other end of this hose must be plugged to the connection at the back of the device. Fit the gaskets.

NOTE!

The flow pressure should not exceed 2-3 bar. At higher pressure a pressure reducer should be connected upstream of the device.

ATTENTION!

The device may be connected to a water connection supplying drink water quality only. Otherwise, a cleaning unit must be installed in advance.

- Attach one end of the drainage hose using the rubber drainage cuff at the rear of the unit. Attach the second end to a sewage outlet or water container. The sewage outlet or water container must be situated lower than the ice cube maker, so that water flows out.

5.3 Operating

• Before first use, clean the device on the inside and outside with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
• Wait for about one hour until the refrigerant has settled. Connect the device to a power socket only afterwards.
• Connect the device to a grounded single power socket.
• Use the ON-/OFF-switch on the control panel in order to engage the device. The operation control lamp „RUN“ lights up and the ice cube production process is started.
• The process includes several stages, the inflow of water, the ice cube production, the ejection of the ice cubes and the storage of the ready ice cubes.
• As soon as the tank is full, the control panel display indicates „ICE FULL“, and the ice production process is automatically terminated.
  • After the ice cubes have been removed, the device continues ice cube production.

NOTE!

For sanitary reasons, you should dispose of the ice cubes produced in the first cycle. Do not use them for beverages or cooling food.

• If water supply is insufficient, the control panel displays „WATER LOW“, and the device is switched off automatically. Check the water supply (hose) connected to the ice cube maker.
• If any error or failure occurs, the display indicates „FAULT“ and the device is switched off automatically.
• Switch off the device and disconnect it from power supply (Pull the power plug!), when it is not in use.
• Do not switch on the device immediately after it has been switched off automatically (caused by insufficient water supply, ice cube tank too full, current interruption). Wait at least 3-5 minutes in order to avoid damages of the compressor.

NOTE!

If the device is not used for a longer period of time, drain the water from the water tank via the drain screw at the back of the device. Wipe dry the water tank using a dry cloth.

6. Cleaning and maintenance

6.1 Safety advice
