Frequently Asked Questions - 646-115 Melissa

How do I turn on the ice maker for the first time?

After unpacking, place the ice maker on a level surface. Wait 2 hours for the refrigerant to settle. Connect to a grounded outlet, fill the water reservoir with fresh water (do not exceed MAX line), press the ON/OFF button. The machine will start making ice automatically. First batch may be small or cloudy; discard it.

How long does it take to make the first batch of ice?

Typically 6 to 12 minutes, depending on ambient temperature and water temperature. Hot water or high room temperature may extend the time.

Why are the ice cubes small or hollow?

This can occur if the water level is low, or if the water pump is clogged. Also, if you select small ice size, cubes are naturally smaller. Ensure the water reservoir is filled and clean.

Can I use distilled water?

Yes, distilled water is fine and may produce clearer ice. However, some minerals in tap water help the ice maker function properly. Avoid using carbonated or sugary drinks.

How do I change the ice cube size?

Press the SELECT button to toggle between S (small) and L (large) ice sizes. The indicator light will show your choice. The change takes effect on the next batch.

What does the 'Add Water' indicator mean?

When the red indicator lights up, the water level is low or the reservoir is empty. Turn off the unit, unplug, and refill with fresh water to the MAX line. Then restart.

How do I clean the ice maker?

Unplug the unit. Use a mixture of warm water and mild detergent to wipe the interior and exterior. Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly. For descaling, use a vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 10 parts water) and run a self-cleaning cycle if available.

Why does the ice maker stop making ice suddenly?

Possible reasons: the ice bin is full (indicator will show), water reservoir is empty, or ambient temperature is too high (above 90°F/32°C). Check indicators and allow the compressor to cool down.

Can I store the ice maker outdoors?

No, this ice maker is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to rain, direct sunlight, or freezing temperatures will damage the unit. Keep in a cool, dry place.

How do I defrost or store the ice maker?

If not using for a long time, unplug, remove all ice and water, dry the interior completely, and leave the door/cover slightly open to prevent mold. Store in a cool, dry place.

KEY TO THE MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE APPLIANCE

1. Motor section
2. ON/OFF button
3. Feed tube
4. Filling port
5. Lid
6. Spindle (underneath the lid; not visible on picture)
7. Paddle
8. Freezer bowl

PRIOR TO FIRST USE

Remove all packaging and transport materials from the • inside and outside of the appliance.

- Check that the appliance has no visible damage and that no parts are missing. Before using for the first time (or after prolonged storage without use), wash any parts that will come into contact with food. See “Cleaning”.

- Place the freezer bowl (8) in the freezer, and leave it there for at least 12 hours, until you are ready to make ice cream. The bowl must be in upright position; do not place it in a horizontal position. The temperature in the freezer must be at least -17 °C to allow the ice cream to freeze properly.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Mounting the appliance Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer and place it on 1. a stable surface.

1. Fit the motor section (1) into the lid (5) and push it forward until the pins on the motor section fit into the slots in the lid.

2. Fit the paddle (7) onto the spindle (6). Lower the lid with motor section, spindle and paddle into 4. the bowl. Make sure the pins along the edge of the lid align with the notches in the white edge of the bowl.

3. Place the feed tube (3) in the filling port (4).

Procedure for making ice cream or sorbet

1. Check that the appliance is correctly assembled.

2. Connect the appliance. Switch on the appliance by turning the on/off button (2) 3. to "I".

The machine must be switched on before the ice cream or sorbet mixture is added, as otherwise the mixture may freeze solid, making it impossible for the paddle to turn!

1. Add the ice cream or sorbet mixture by pouring it through the filling port (4).

o Always make sure that there is at least 2.5 cm between the mixture and the top of the bowl, as the mixture expands as it freezes.

1. Do not allow the appliance to run for more than approx. 40 minutes. The appliance must NOT be stopped during preparation, since mixture may freeze solid, making it impossible for the paddle to turn if switched on again.

Do not add ingredients like chocolate pieces, nuts or alcohol through the filling port until the ice cream is almost ready.

When the ice cream is ready, switch off the appliance 6. by pushing the on/off button to position "0" and remove the lid.

The finished ice cream is quite soft in consistency, so it can be served using a spoon. If you would like the ice cream to have a firmer consistency, transfer the bowl to the freezer (at -18°C) for 30-60 minutes, depending on how firm you want it to be.

Always remove the plug from the socket once you have 7. finished using the appliance.

Dissemble the appliance and clean all parts before 8. storing. See "Cleaning".

Always clean the freezer bowl before returning it to the 9. freezer.

Note: The interlayer of the freezer bowl is filled with the mixture of polysaccharides and saline water, which is nontoxic, and environment friendly

RECIPES TO INSPIRE YOU

General instructions

Use caster sugar, as it dissolves easily.

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl before pouring the • mixture into the appliance and starting the churning. Do not add ingredients like chocolate pieces, nuts or alcohol through the filling port until the ice cream is almost ready. Use ripe fruit. Wash fruit thoroughly, peel it, and remove • any pips or stones as necessary.

Use pure fruit juice. This produces a stronger and richer • flavour.

Do not fill the freezer bowl completely with ice cream or • sorbet mixture.

Certain ingredients require heating, for example boiling • of fruit or berries with sugar or melting of chocolate.

Mixtures with hot ingredients must be left to cool in the fridge for two hours before being used to make ice cream.

If you start with a basic recipe, you can create the flavour you want by adding different ingredients.

Basic recipe, dairy ice cream

3 pasteurised egg yolks

350 ml milk

70 g sugar

Slowly heat the milk until tiny bubbles form. Whisk egg yolks and sugar until the sugar has completely dissolved. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the milk and heat the mixture until it starts thickening. Leave the mixture to cool in the fridge for about 2 hours. Pour the mixture into the appliance while the paddle is rotating. Leave the mixture to churn until it has the desired consistency.

Tip:

Add ingredients like blended fruit, grated chocolate or the like to create the desired flavour.

Depending on how creamy you want the ice cream to be, • you can replace the milk either partially or wholly with double cream.

- You can also substitute yoghurt for the milk to make yoghurt ice cream instead.

Basic recipe, sorbet

200 ml water

200 g sugar

200 g blended fruit or 200 ml fruit juice

Pour the water into a saucepan, add the sugar, and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Bring to the boil and allow to boil for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool. Add blended fruit or fruit juice to the cold mixture. Then pour the entire mix into the bowl while the paddle is rotating. Leave the mixture to churn until it has the desired consistency.
