Use the first ice making cycle to flush out the system. Discard the water and ice created from the first cycle. 1. Ensure the door is closed fully before use. 2. Press the Power switch to the On position [I]. The RUN light illuminates and the appliance begins the ice making process. Each ice making cycle takes approximately 25 minutes. 3. When the cubes reach the ice sensor ice production stops. Production resumes once ice has been removed from the bin. 4. Press the Power switch to the Off position [O] at any time to halt the ice making process. Note: Ensure metal rack is pushed as far forward as possible against plastic ice curtain to allow ice to fall. To avoid contamination of ice, please respect the following instructions: · Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance. · Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with ice and accessible drainage systems. · Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48h; flush the water system connected to a water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days. · If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance. Cleaning, Care & Maintenance · Always switch off and disconnect the power supply before cleaning. · Warm, soapy water is recommended for cleaning. Cleaning agents may leave harmful residues. DO NOT wash the base unit, instead wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. · Clean the water filter regularly with a small brush, particularly in hard water areas. The water filter is located just inside the water inlet at the back of the appliance. · If the Ice Maker is to be left unused for longer than 24 hours, loosen the drain valve cap and drain the water from the tank. · The inner removable parts and water tank should be cleaned regularly. Filter for the drain system (for GK032-A only): Check the filter monthly and clean if required. Ensure the filter is repositioned correctly after cleaning. (,"@(,"@"@W@JOEC 7 EN Telephone Helpline: 1300225960 Automatic Cleaning Function This Ice Maker is featured with an automatic cleaning function. When the appliance has completed up to 1500 ice-making cycles (roughly after 3-month routine use), the "CLEAN" indicator light will flash with audible alarm, indicating the unit needs to be cleaned. It will keep flashing and alarming until auto-cleaning is started, during which ice can still be made. 1. Press and hold the "CLEAN" button for 3 seconds. The water box at the top will turn down and up. When it returns to horizontal position, press the power switch to O (OFF position) and unplug the machine. Make sure no water remains in the water box.

Remove the drainage valve cap to empty the water reservoir. When the unit is turned on again, the "CLEAN" indicator light will not light up or flash, indicating the whole auto-cleaning is completed. Note: A cycle takes about 30 minutes. Note: If the "WATER LOW" indicator light illuminate during cleaning, it means the water box is in lack of water and cleaning fails. In this case, turn the unit off. After the WATER LOW" indicator light goes out, turn the unit on again. Then fill the reservoir with cleaner and repeat step 5. Note: After auto-cleaning, use the first 3 ice making cycles to flush out the system. Discard the water and ice created from these initial cycles. Notes for Descaling: · In hard water areas lime scale can build up within the appliance after prolonged use. We suggest installing a water softener before inlet of water in case the supplied water is hard. The softener could be a mechanical filter. · To descale, always choose a suitable descaler and follow the manufacturer's instructions. · POLAR recommend that this appliance is descaled every 3 months or more frequently in hard water areas. 8 (,"@(,"@"@W@JOEC Telephone Helpline: 1300225960 EN Troubleshooting A qualified technician should carry out repairs if required.
