Warnings for the Use of the Appliance
WARNING:
The appliance contains the refrigerant isobutane
(R600a) in the refrigerant circuit, a natural gas with high
environmental compatibility, which is ammable. When
transporting and setting up the appliance, make sure that
the appliance does not fall down. The refrigerant circuit
should not be damaged.
If the Refrigerant Circuit is Damaged:
• Avoid open ames and sources of ignition at all costs.
• Pull the appliance’s mains plug out of the socket.
• Ventilate the room in which the appliance is located.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to observe the waiting time of 2 hours when
using the appliance for the rst time or after transport,
so that the refrigerant can settle. Otherwise, the refrig-
eration compressor would be damaged.
• If you interrupt ice cube production with the button,
wait at least 3 minutes before switching the appliance
on again to avoid damaging the compressor.
• Do not disconnect the appliance from the mains while
the cleaning programme is running!
• Never operate the appliance without the lter sieve!
Notes for Use
Location
• Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, water-resist-
ant and level surface. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm
from walls or objects.
• Do not place the appliance on or in the immediate vicinity
of heat sources such as stoves, radiators, etc.
Electrical Connection
• Check that the mains voltage you intend to use matches
that of the appliance. You will nd the information on the
type plate.
• Only connect the appliance to a properly installed
earthed socket.
Standby Mode (Ready state)
The control lamp SMALL ashes.
Eco Save (Energy Saving Mode)
The appliance switches off when the ice cube container
is full. You benet from increased safety and lower power
consumption.
Interruption of Operation
After an interruption due to lack of water, full ice cube con-
tainer, manual stop or power failure, the compressor starts
with a delay of 3 minutes after it is switched on again.
Ice Cubes
• You can choose between two sizes:
- SMALL (small)
- LARGE (large)
• Ice cubes from the rst production cycle should not be
used for hygienic reasons.
• The best results are achieved at a water temperature
between 7 °C and 20 °C and an ambient temperature
between 16 °C and 25 °C.
• Depending on the water and ambient temperature, the
rst ice cubes are smaller. Only in the following cycles do
the ice cubes become larger.
• Due to the rapid freezing, the ice cubes may look “milky”.
This is air trapped in the water. This does not affect the
quality of the ice cubes.
• If you want ice cubes with a clear appearance, use drink-
ing water that has previously been boiled and cooled.
Operation
When using the appliance for the rst time or if you have
not used it for a long time, clean the appliance as described
in the chapter “Cleaning and Maintenance”. Use the appli-
ance’s cleaning programme.
Making Ice Cubes
1. Make sure that the water drain opening at the bottom of
the appliance is tightly closed.
2. Open the lid and remove the ice cube container.
3. There is a lter at the bottom of the water tank. Make
sure that it is rmly inserted.
4. There is an arrow in the water tank below the MAX mark.
Fill approx. 1 litre of fresh water into the water tank, up
to a maximum of below the arrow (minimum quantity:
500 ml). Only use drinking water to make ice cubes.
5. Reinsert the ice cube container and close the lid.
6. Insert the mains plug into the socket.
7. Press the button once. The control lamps LARGE and
SMALL ash alternately. The appliance is in ice cube
size selection mode.
8. When the control lamp of the desired ice cube size lights
up, press the button again. The compressor switches
on. Ice cube production starts.
- Keep the lid closed during ice cube production.
- One ice cube production cycle takes between 8 and
10 minutes.
Interrupting Ice Cube Production
Press the button to stop ice cube production. The control
lamp SMALL ashes.
• If operation is interrupted manually, the water that is not
needed is returned to the water tank. Only then does the
appliance switch off. Half-nished ice cubes remain stuck
on the cooling bars. As soon as they have thawed a little,
they detach and fall off.
