3. Istruzioni per l'uso

After installation, allow sufficient time for the ice maker to begin producing ice.

• Prima produzione di ghiaccio: It may take 12 to 24 hours for the ice maker to produce its first full batch of ice, as the freezer needs to reach the optimal temperature.
• Discard First Batches: For sanitary reasons, discard the first two to three batches of ice produced. This flushes any air or impurities from the water line and ice maker components.
• Funzionamento normale: The ice maker will automatically produce ice until the ice bucket is full, at which point the shut-off arm will stop production. When ice is removed, the cycle will resume.
• Ice Level Arm: Ensure the ice level arm (bail arm) is in the down position for ice production. Lifting it up will stop ice production.

4. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare contribuisce a garantire prestazioni ottimali e longevità della macchina per il ghiaccio.

• Pulizia: Periodically remove the ice bucket and wash it with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before returning it to the freezer. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Filtro per l'acqua: Se il frigorifero è dotato di filtro per l'acqua, assicurarsi che venga sostituito secondo le raccomandazioni del produttore per preservare la qualità dell'acqua e la produzione di ghiaccio.
• Water Line Check: Occasionally inspect the water supply line for kinks, leaks, or damage.
• Ice Build-up: If ice builds up around the ice maker mechanism, disconnect power and allow it to defrost naturally, then clean and restart.
