3.2. Preparation for operation

POSITIONING OF THE UNIT

The ambient temperature should not exceed 10-38°C and the relative humidity should not exceed 85%. Place the unit in a way that ensures good air circulation. Maintain a minimum clearance of 15 cm from any wall of the unit. Keep the unit away from any hot surfaces. Always operate the unit on a level, stable, clean, fireproof and dry surface and out of the reach of children and persons of impaired mental, sensory and intellectual functions. Place the unit in such a way that the mains plug can be reached at any time. Ensure that the power supply to the unit corresponds to that specified on the identification plate!

Before using the unit for the first time, disassemble all parts and wash them as well as the entire unit.

IMPORTANT: after installing and leveling the unit in its final location, wait 12 hours before using it for the first time! The same applies to changing the location of the device.

ASSEMBLY OF THE UNIT

Place the unit in its final location and connect it to a running drinking water supply (water pressure should be between 1 \~ 7.8 bar) and a sewage drain or a suitable waste water tank.

NOTE: the drainage hose and its end should be placed below the drainage hole of the device - this will ensure trouble-free water drainage.

When connecting to the running water supply, be sure to install gaskets on the connecting parts. The source of the running water should have a valve shutting off its supply. Then connect the power cord to the power source.

NOTE: the unit can also work with a running water connection equipped with an external filtering system, but in this case, remember to change the water filter regularly according to the recommendations of the manufacturer of the installed water purification system.

3.3. Working with the unit

NOTE: when starting the machine for the first time or after a long idle time, unscrew the drain plug and drain the water. During the first 2 cycles

of ice production, the device is being cleaned from the inside, so the produced ice is NOT SUITABLE for consumption!

• Turn on the power by setting its switch to the "I" position (it will light up) and the unit will start working - the "RUN" indicator will light up. This light is on whenever the machine is producing ice.
• The entire ice production process is automatic and is automatically regulated by the device, i.e. water delivery -> ice production -> serving -> storage (the storage container for the ice cubes is sealed to extend the shelf life of the ice)
• If any problem is encountered during the production of ice, the machine will indicate the problem with the appropriate indicator (see the picture below):

RUN FAULT ICE FULL WATER LOW

"FAULT" - device error.

"ICE FULL" - the ice cube container is full or the ambient temperature is below 10^ C (the appliance stops any further ice making).

"WATER LOW" (permanently on) - lack of water or error in the drinking water supply system (the unit stops any further ice making - as soon as water is supplied, restart the unit).

"WATER LOW" (blinks) - no water in the running water supply (the unit stops making ice, but as soon as the water in the system returns, the ice production will restart automatically).

IMPORTANT: if the compressor stops for any reason (no water, too much ice, etc.), wait at least 5 minutes before restarting the unit.

- Regularly drain excess water from the device to prevent spontaneous leakage.

3.4. Cleaning and maintenance

a) Pull the mains plug and let the unit cool down completely before cleaning, adjusting or replacing accessories and when the unit is not in use.
- Wait until the rotating parts stop.
b) Use only non-corrosive cleaning agents for cleaning the surfaces.
c) Only mild detergents designed for cleaning food contact surfaces may be used to clean the unit.

d) After each cleaning, all the parts should be dried well before the unit is used again.
e) Do not spray the unit with a stream of water or immerse it in water.
f) Make sure that no water enters through the ventilation openings in the casing.
g) Clean the ventilation openings with a brush and compressed air.
h) Perform regular inspections of the unit checking technical fitness and any damages.
i) Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.
j) Do not use sharp and/or metal objects (e.g. wire brush or metal spatula) for cleaning as they may damage the surface of the appliance material.
k) Do not clean the device with acidic substances, medical products, thinners, fuel, oil or other chemicals as this may damage the device.
I) If the device is not used for a long time, disconnect it from the power supply, drain the accumulated water, and thoroughly wipe the ice container with a clean cloth.
