Frequently Asked Questions - Metropolitan Klarstein

What to do if the appliance does not produce ice cubes?

Check that the water tank is filled and the ice bucket is not full. Make sure the appliance is turned on. If the problem persists, check the refrigerant level or contact a professional.

How to choose the size of ice cubes?

Press the MODE button to cycle through sizes: S (small), M (medium), L (large). The default size is M.

Why does the tank indicator light up even though there is water?

This may indicate an ice cube blocking the sensor or air in the pump. Open the water drain to release some water, or remove any ice cube from the tank.

How to clean the ice maker?

Unplug the appliance. Use a diluted solution of water and vinegar to clean the interior and exterior. Rinse with a clean damp cloth. Do not use chemical products.

What to do if the ice bucket is full?

The corresponding indicator lights up and the appliance stops. Remove the ice cubes with the scoop and replace the bucket. The appliance will resume automatically.

The appliance makes noise, is this normal?

A slight noise from the compressor and refrigerant flow is normal. If the noise is unusually loud, check that the appliance is on a level surface and that the voltage is correct.

Can I use tap water?

It is recommended to use spring water or filtered water to avoid limescale. Tap water can be used but may reduce the appliance's lifespan.

How to start ice production after filling water?

Fill the tank, plug in the appliance, select the ice cube size with MODE, then press ON/OFF.

What to do if the ice cubes are stuck together?

This may be due to an unsuitable size or residual ice in the chamber. Turn off the appliance, wait for the ice to melt, or choose a smaller size (M or S).

How to maintain the appliance during prolonged non-use?

Empty the tank and ice bucket, clean the interior, leave the door open to prevent mold. Store the appliance in a dry place.

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

Danger from fi re/fl ammable materials. Please observe the local regulations for the disposal of units with fl ammable 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.

To avoid contamination of food, please follow the instructions below:

• Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food. Clean the water drain regularly.
• If the appliance contains a water tank, clean it if it has not been used for 48 hours. Rinse the tank if no water has been removed for 5 days.

CLEANING AND CARE

• Clean the inner liner, ice collection tray, water box, ice scoop and evaporator regularly. When cleaning, disconnect the power plug and remove the ice cubes. Use a diluted solution of water and vinegar to clean the inside and outside surface of the ice maker. Do not spray the ice maker with chemicals, acids, gasoline or oil. Wipe it with clear water and a clean cloth.
• Keep the ventilation openings in the unit housing clear of obstructions. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to speed up the defrosting process.
• Always use fresh water before starting ice production. This applies both to the initial installation and after an extended period of downtime.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1 Please note, if a power failure occurs due to disconnection of the power cord, or the off power button has been pushed off during an ice making cycle, small ice chips may formed and lodge in the automatic shovel causing it to jam. If this occurs, the ice chips may be removed by disconnecting the power cord and gently pushing the shovel to the rear of the cabinet and removing the ice chips, then restarting.
2 Please restart the ice maker by pressing Stop and then Start. If the ice shovel does not push the ice into the ice collector after the formed ice drops from the evaporator finger while at the same time the M light is on, check to see if the water tray is horizontal or balanced. If not then adjust by pressing the ice shovel lightly with your finger. Then re-start the ice maker.
