Frequently Asked Questions - Albaron Klarstein

How to turn on the ice cube maker?

Plug in the appliance, the power indicator lights up. Press the POWER button to turn it on. The operation indicator lights up and production starts automatically in default large cube mode.

Which ice cube size to choose based on room temperature?

If the indoor temperature is below 15°C, it is recommended to choose small cubes. If it exceeds 30°C, choose large cubes for better performance.

What to do if the 'Add water' indicator flashes?

The water level in the tank is too low. Fill the water tank to the maximum mark, then press the POWER button to restart the appliance.

How to clean the ice cube maker?

Use the automatic function by selecting Cleaning with the SELECT button. Otherwise, unplug the appliance and clean the interior surfaces with a solution of diluted vinegar in water, then rinse with clean water.

Why are the ice cubes irregularly shaped at first?

During first use, the first 3 cycles may produce irregular and smaller ice cubes. This is normal; the shape improves afterwards.

What to do if the ice basket is full?

As soon as the Ice full indicator flashes, the appliance stops. Immediately remove the ice cubes to prevent overflow and allow production to resume.

Why is the compressor noisy?

The R600a refrigerant can generate a slightly higher flow noise. This is normal. If the noise is abnormal (humming), check the mains voltage.

How to resolve a jammed ice scoop?

Unplug the appliance. Gently push the ice scoop towards the back of the housing to remove ice chips. Plug it back in and restart with the POWER button.

Can I use distilled water?

No, distilled water is not suitable. Use mineral water or fresh drinking water to ensure ice cube quality and proper operation.

What to do if the appliance does not turn on?

Check the fuse and power supply. If the control panel remains off, replace the fuse or restore power. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

This appliance contains the coolant isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.

WARNING

Fire hazard due to improper disposal! Please observe the local regulations for the disposal of appliances containing flammable refrigerants and gases.

• Keep ventilation openings in the unit housing free of obstacles.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Do not use any mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process or the ice recovery process.
• Do not use other types of electrical appliances inside the ice cube machine.

Special Notes

• When positioning the unit, make sure that the power cord is not pinched or damaged.
• Make sure that there are no multiple sockets or power supplies on the back of the unit.
