BEFORE FIRST USE
• Before first use, remove the appliance and its accessories form the
packaging and discard all promotional labels and tags. Check that
neither the appliance nor any of its components is damaged.
Before First Use
• Wipe the outer surface of the ice maker with asoft sponge slightly
moistened in warm water. Wipe dry with aclean cloth.
• Open the lid andremove the ice basket andscoop. Wipe the inner
space with asoft sponge dipped inwarm water withalittle vinegar.
Wipe again with asoft sponge dipped inclean warm water and wipe
dry with aclean cloth.
• Wash the ice basket and scoop in warm water with alittle dishwashing
liquid. Rinse and wipe dry.
• Insert the ice basket back into the inside area of the ice maker.
Note:
If the ice maker is tilted or tipped over during transport,
place it on afirm, level surface and let it stand for about 2
hours. During this time, the refrigerant flows back into the
cooling circuit. If you switch on the ice maker immediately,
it may be irreversibly damaged. There is arisk of fire or
explosion.
However, for safety reasons, we recommend leaving the ice
maker standing for about 2 hours before plugging it into the
mains socket and turning it on, even if it has not been tilted
or tipped over during transport.
If you move the ice maker, let it stand for about 30minutes.
Placement of the Ice Maker
• Place the ice maker on aclean, level and firm surface well away from
the mains socket.
• Make sure that there is sufficient free space around the ice maker, at
least 20cm on each side.
• Ensure that the air supply is not blocked by afixed obstacle, hinge,
etc. Damage to the appliance might occur if ventilation is insufficient.
• Do not use the ice maker in avery cold room (below 5°C).

OPERATION
Using the Ice Maker
• Before switching on the ice maker, make sure that the drain valve
andplug are properly secured in thebody of the ice maker.
• Open the lid and remove the ice basket.
• Fill the tank with clean cold water up to the MAX mark. Put the basket
back in and close the lid.
• Plug the power cord into the mains socket.
• The LARGE indicator light will light up green and the POWER indicator
light will flash slowly.
• Press the SELECT button repeatedly to select the dice size:
- thin ice cubes: the SMALL indicator is lit;
- thick ice cubes: the LARGE indicator is lit.
• Press the button to start the ice maker. The POWER Indicator
will be lit.
• Water will be pumped through the filling hole into the ice tray. The
cooling element is designed so that ice will form around the ice
moulds that are immersed in water. The ice formation process can
take 7–15 minutes depending on the temperature in theroom, the
initial water temperature as well asthe size selection.
• Once the ice is formed, the ice tray tilts backwards, the ice falls off the
moulds and the moving arm moves the ice cubes over the edge into
the ice basket. This movement brings the ice tray back to its starting
position and the excess water flows into the water tank. After that,
anew ice formation process will start.
• Once enough ice has been made, press and hold the button for 3
seconds until the POWER indicator flashes to stop making ice. The ice
maker will switch to the standby mode. Then, unplug the power cord
from the mains socket. Remove the ice cubes from the basket and
store them in afreezer.
• Open the lid and allow the ice maker to warm up to room temperature
before cleaning. Drain the unused water through the drain hole
anddry the inside of the machine.
• We recommend starting the cleaning programme.
Note:
Dependingon the room temperature, the ice in the ice
maker will last up to 18 hours. However, we recommend
moving it to the freezer as soon as the preparation is
complete. Store the ice only in thefreezer.

TROUBLESHOOTING
• If apower outage occurs or you press the button during the ice
production cycle, small ice crystals may form, which may get caught
on the moving arm and cause it to block. If this occurs, turn off the ice
maker, gently push the arm backwards andremove the ice crystals.
• If the moving arm cannot move the ice into the basket, check that the
machine is located on an even surface. If it is not, move the machine
to aflat surface.
Problem Possible Cause
Solution
The ADD WA-
TER indicator
is lit.
There'sno water in the
tank.
Refill the water tank.
The pump is full of air. Turn off the ice maker
and turn it on again after
awhile.
The ICE FULL
indicator is lit.
The ice basket is full. Remove the ice cubes
from the basket.
If the ice basket is not
full, the infrared sensors
are dirty.
Wipe the infrared sensors
(No. 5 in Figure A).
At the same
time, the
ADD WATER
andICE FULL
indicators
are lit.
The ice tray arm is
blocked.
Eliminate the cause of
the blockage.
Astrong light is shining
on the infrared sensors
(e.g. sunlight).
Relocate the ice maker.
Warning:
Never use hot or warm water to prepare ice.
Warning:
During use, the outer surface of the machine around
the compressor may heat up. Take extra care when
coming into contact with heated surfaces.
Note:
During the first three cycles of ice production, it may
happen that the cubes will not be regular andwill be small.
This is anormal phenomenon that will disappear with
further production.
Note:
The compressor starts approximately 3 minutes after the
machine has been interrupted, e.g. the water in the tank has
run out. This is anormal phenomenon that does not affect
the functionality of the appliance.
Note:
As aresult of rapid freezing, the ice cubes can become
dull. This is air trapped in the water. This does not affect the
quality or taste of the ice.
Full Ice Basket
• As soon as the ice basket is full, the ICE FULL indicator will light up on
the control panel and the ice formation process will be automatically
interrupted. Open the lid and carefully remove the ice from the basket
with ascoop. To resume theprocess automatically, close the lid.
Transfer the ice to afreezer immediately.
Refilling the Water Tank
• If the ADD WATER indicator lights up on the control panel, it is
necessary to refill the water tank. The ice formation process will
stop automatically. Remove the ice basket andrefill with clean cold
water. Put the basket back andpress the button to resume the ice
formation process.
Note:
If you refill the water but forget to press the ON/OFF button,
the ice formation process will automatically resume after
30 minutes.
