Frequently Asked Questions - 271773 Arktic

How to install my Arktic 271773 ice machine?

Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Leave at least 15 cm of free space around for ventilation. Connect the water supply hose to a cold drinking water inlet (pressure 1-8 kg/cm²) and the drain hose to a drain or reservoir. Plug the appliance into a grounded outlet.

How to start ice production?

After connecting water and electricity, press the ON/OFF button (green). The appliance performs an automatic cleaning cycle (about 30 seconds), then starts production. The green indicator lights up. Discard the first batch of ice for hygiene reasons.

What to do if the red indicator lights up?

The red indicator indicates an error. Refer to the troubleshooting section of the manual. Possible causes include: insufficient water level, full basket, sensor problem, or refrigerant leak. Check water connections, empty the basket, or contact your supplier.

How to clean my ice machine?

Before cleaning, turn off and unplug the appliance. Clean interior and exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a little mild detergent. Do not use a water jet or steam cleaner. Clean the condenser every 2 to 3 months with a soft cloth.

Why is my machine not producing ice?

First check that the appliance is on and the basket is not full. Ensure the water supply is open and pressure is sufficient (1-8 kg/cm²). If the compressor runs but no ice is produced, there may be a refrigerant leak or blockage; contact your supplier.

What does the yellow indicator mean?

The yellow indicator has two meanings: if the 'basket full' light is on, the ice basket is full and the appliance stops automatically. If the 'low water level' light is on, the water supply is insufficient; check the water connection and pressure.

Can I use an adapter or extension cord?

It is not recommended to use adapters or extension cords. Plug the appliance directly into a grounded outlet. If necessary, use an extension cord suitable for the power (210 W) and ensure it does not pose a tripping hazard.

How long does it take to produce ice?

Production time depends on ambient and water temperature. Generally, the first cycle may take 30 to 60 minutes. Subsequent cycles are faster. Production is 26 kg per 24 hours.

How to maintain the appliance during prolonged non-use?

Unplug the appliance and empty the ice basket. Unscrew the drain hole cover at the back to drain remaining water. Wipe the interior with a dry cloth. Store the appliance in a dry, frost-free place.

What to do if there is a water leak?

Check the connections of the supply and drain hoses. If the hose is damaged, replace it. Ensure the water inlet pressure does not exceed 8 kg/cm². If the leak persists, contact your supplier.

• Use the appliance only as described in this manual.
  CAUTION! RISK OF FIRE! The refrigerant used is R290. It is a flammable refrigerant 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: Keep all ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure clear of obstruction.
• WARNING: Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• WARNING: Connect to portable water supply only.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
• Allow at least 15 cm spacing around the appliance for ventilation purpose during use.
• Do not use hard utensils to hit the outer surface. Do not use water jet, flush directly with water or steam cleaner as the parts will get wet and electric shock might be resulted.
• Do not expose it to direct sunlight. Avoid mechanical shocks and vibrations.
• Always move or transport the appliance in an upright position or it may damage the appliance.
• CAUTION! Securely route the power cord if necessary in order to prevent unintentional pulling or contact with the heating surface.

- Check that the accessories such as water supply hose, water drainage hose, 2 spare sealing washers & ice scoop are included.

- Remove all packing material and protective film (if applicable).

- Place the appliance on a level, steady and safe surface which can supports the weight of the appliance together with the ice cubes produced during use.

- Avoid expose to direct sunlight or direct source of heat such as cooker, heat oven, etc.

- Make sure that a minimum of 15 cm distance is kept around all sides of the appliance for ventilation purposes.

- Place the appliance in such a way that the plug is easily accessible and can be quickly removed from its socket in case of necessity.

- Set up the appliance near water supply connection.

Connection to the water supply

Attention: The appliance should be connected to a cold drinkable water supply only. Otherwise, a cleaning system or filter should be installed in advance.

- Connect one end of the water inlet supply hose (13) to the 3 / 4" screw type connector of the water tap supply so as to get the drinkable tap water. Then, connect the other end of this hose to the back of the appliance (9) by screwing clockwise. Be sure to put sealing washers (15) in both ends before connecting.

- Next, connect one end of the drainage hose (14) using the rubber drainage cuff to the rear of the appliance (10). Attach the other end to the sewage outlet / water container. The height of the sewage outlet / water container must be situated lower than the appliance, so that water can flow out.

Note: The inlet water supply pressure range: 1-8 kg/cm². Pressure reducer should be installed if the pressure over this range.

Operation

• Before first use, clean the appliance interior and exterior surface with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
• Position the appliance in a well-ventilated place, leaving at least 150 mm gap around all sides for ventilation purposes.
• Let the appliance stand alone for about one hour in order to settle the refrigerant. Make sure connect properly with the water supply system.
• Then, plug in to a suitable socket.
• Press down the ON/OFF switch (1) on the control panel in order start up.
• Then, the appliance will use water to clean up inside and water will flow out automatically. This time. the 3 light indicators “*” and “” lights up & blink for about 30 seconds.
• Also, the ON / OFF switch (1) lights up in green. The appliance starts to operate.
• The ice cubes making process is completely automatic, it consists of several stages as below: Water inlet ==> ice cubes production ==> ejection of ice cubes ==> storage of ice cubes.
• Then, push the slide door (4) and use ice scoop (16) to take out the ice.
• When the ice storage container is full, the indicator will light up in yellow and the appliance will stop operation automatically.

• Once the ice cubes have been removed, the appliance continue production of ice tubes automatically.

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

• If the water supply is insufficient, the 🎨 indicator will light up in yellow and the appliance will stop operate automatically. Check the water supply (hose) connected to the appliance.
• If any error or failure occur, the ⚠️ indicator will light up in red and the appliance will stop operation automatically.
• Switch OFF the appliance by pressing down the ON / OFF switch (1) and unplug it from the electrical supply when not in use.

Notes:

• DO NOT switch ON again the appliance immediately after shut down automatically (caused by insufficient water supply, ice cube container too full, current interruption). Wait at least 3 \~ 5 minutes in order to avoid damages to the compressor.
• Check the connectors of the water inlet and outlet hose regularly for the leakage or overflow of water that may be present.
• If the appliance is not used for a long period of time, screw off the drainage cover (12) at the rear of the appliance. Wipe dry the water tank using a dry, clean cloth.
