INTENDED USE

The appliance is designed for making ice cubes from drinking water. The unit is capable of making 9 ice cubes at a time.

CAUTION! The appliance inclination angle during transport should not exceed 45^ . Do not rotate the ice machine upside down. This can lead to damage to the compressor and the sealed system.

● APPLIANCE PREPARATION

CAUTION! Before first use, it is recommended to wait 2 hours after positioning the ice machine. It is also advisable to leave the front lid open for at least 2 hours.

• Before commencing operation of the appliance, make sure that the appliance, plug and power cord are operational and that all the packaging parts have been removed.
• All the parts that will have contact with food must be cleaned thoroughly before the first use. (see section: Cleaning and Maintenance).
• The appliance must be placed vertically on a flat surface in a dry and spacious area. Leave at least 15 cm of free space around the applianceto ensure proper ventilation.

CAUTION! Do not install the ice machine near an oven, heater or other heat sources.

• Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, check that the mains current parameters (voltage) comply with the parameters indicated on the appliance.
• If the appliance has not been used for a long time, before restarting it, check that the air inlets and outlets are not clogged.

CAUTION! Only COLD DRINKING WATER without additives may be used in the ice machine; spring water is recommended. For hygienic reasons, replace the water in the tank every 24 hours. To avoid fungi and bacteria growth, leave the appliance's lid open after use.

USE

• Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the power supply.
• Open the lid (2) and remove the ice container (6) – Fig. 2.
• Fill the water tank (5) with water. Ensure that the water level is between the "MIN" and "MAX" indicators – Fig. 3.
• Replace the ice container (6) in its position.

CAUTION! The water must not come into contact with the ice container (6).

• Connect the appliance to a power supply in accordance with the parameters specified in the manual – the "C" indicator on the control panel (1) will flash.
• To turn on the appliance, press the "E" button on the control panel (1) – Fig. 4. The "C" indicator on the control panel will light up steadily.
• Use the "F" button to select the size of the ice cubes – one of the "A" indicators will light up – Fig. 5.
• The appliance will start operating.
• To turn off the appliance, press the "E" button again.

CAUTION! If there is enough water in the tank (5) and during two cycles the appliance will not pump it to the ice-making container (6) (the appliance will not start making ice), move the appliance slightly forward. Then place a container underneath it, next remove the silicone plug (9) at the bottom of the container (5) and allow some of the water to drain.

CAUTION! For the first three cycles, ice cubes can be small and irregular.

No water

• When the indicator lamp "D" lights up and an audible signal can be heard simultaneously, this means that the water level is too low for a full ice-making cycle.
• In this case, remove and empty the tank (6), then add water, put the container (6) back and press button "E" to restart the appliance.

Emptying the ice container

• The appliance has a sensor (4) that indicates the ice container (6) is full.
• When indicator "B" lights up, and an audible signal can be heard simultaneously, this

means that the ice storage container (6) is full.

- In this case, remove and empty the container (6), then put the container (6) back and press button "E" to restart the unit.

Caution! When the ice container (6) is full, immediately remove the ice. Do not overfill the ice container. (6).

TIPS

• If the appliance will be used after a long time, the water pump may not pump a sufficient amount of water due to an air lock. In this case, the “no water” indicator “” is activated. To fix the problem, press button “D” again, and then the ice machine will come back to regular operation.
• Always use fresh water before ice-making after installation or after a long period of downtime.
• If the compressor stops for any reason, such as a shortage of water, too much ice, power failure, etc., do not start the unit immediately, but wait 3 minutes and then restart it.
• In the event of a power failure due to the power cord being disconnected or the poweroff button being pressed during the ice-making cycle, small pieces of ice may form and settle in the automatic scoop attached to the container (8), causing a jam. In this case, disconnect the unit from the mains supply and remove the ice cubes by gently pushing the scoop backwards. Then connect the ice machine to the mains supply and restart.

• CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Before cleaning, turn off the appliance and disconnect it from the power supply.
• Remove and empty the ice basket (6).
• Empty the water reservoir (5) – to do this, slightly pull the appliance forward, place a container underneath, remove the silicone plug (9) located at the bottom of the reservoir (5), and allow the water to drain out.
• Clean the internal walls of the appliance, the nozzles (3), the ice basket (6), and the scoop (10) after each use.
• Use a diluted solution of water and vinegar to clean the internal components and the external housing. Rinse thoroughly with water before using again.
• The ice basket (6) and scoop (10) can be washed with a mild detergent and rinsed thoroughly.
• DO NOT use any chemicals such as acids, gasoline, or oil for cleaning.
• During each cleaning, check that the ventilation openings (8) on the appliance housing (7) are not blocked.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process.

SELF-CLEANING PROGRAM

• Connect the appliance to a power source.
• Remove the ice basket (6).
• Fill the water reservoir up to the "MAX" level.

• Press and hold the power button "E" for at least 3 seconds to start the self-cleaning program.

• The cleaning cycle lasts 30 minutes; during this cycle, the indicators "B" and "D" will flash alternately.

• After the cleaning cycle is complete, empty the water from the internal reservoir using the drain located at the bottom of the appliance.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY DESCALING AGENTS – THIS MAY DAMAGE THE DEVICE.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible Causes Solution
Unsatisfactory ice shape or quality 1.	Ice is blocking the infrared sensor.2. Infrared sensors are malfunctioning.	Empty the ice basket.Clean the infrared sensors or press and hold the SELECT button for 5 seconds to force the ice-making cycle approximately 10 times. Contact customer service if the infrared sensors still do not work.
Ice cubes clumping together 1. The ice-making process is taking too long.The water temperature is too low.Evaporator deformation.	1. Stop the ice-making process, wait for the ice to melt, restart the appliance, and try again.Fill the appliance with water at a temperature between 8^ and 25^ .3. Contact customer service.
The appliance is not making ice 1. The ambient or water temperature is too high.Internal system damage.	1. Keep the ambient temperature below 32^ and fill the appliance with cold water.Contact customer service.
