KNOWING THE APPLIANCE

Before using the appliance it is good to know it thoroughly. This appliance is an ice maker and must only be used to make ice (not as a container for bottles, cans, etc.) F01 All models have the ice container built into the appliance.
To avoid possible cold injuries, remove the ice cubes using the scoop “F” (supplied with models with integrated ice container) and PPE devices, such as gloves (not supplied).

The air filter “B”, if present, must be inspected and cleaned periodically; for removal operations and cleaning methods, see F08 page 13.
Never obstruct the front or side ventilation slots “C”, they are used to ensure the good operation of the internal cooling unit.

KEY

A Ice container door
B Air filter (if present)
C Front or side air vents
D ON/OFF switch (if present)
E Evaporator thermostat for cube size adjustment (if present)
F Ice scoop

USING THE APPLIANCE

This appliance can be used by children aged 8 and over and by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or with a lack of experience and knowledge only if they have been adequately instructed and supervised in the safe use of the appliance and have learned the possible dangers derived from its use.

F02 Starting the appliance

Power the appliance inserting its plug into a socket with adequate capacity and turning the switch that powers the socket to ON or, if the appliance has been connected to an electrical panel, set the main switch of the panel to ON: the appliance is now powered up.
Open the water supply tap so that it can be filled from the appliance.
- F04 Ice cube production start
To improve the appearance of the cubes produced, some appliances have the option of making adjustments based on the temperature of the room in which the appliance is located via an evaporator thermostat.
- If present, turn the knob:
  - to the right if the cube is empty.
  - to the left if the cube is too full.
  - When the room temperature varies (for example when the seasons change), it may be necessary to turn the knob again.
Press the ON/OFF switch (if present in your model). In models without the ON/OFF switch, no operation is required.

The appliance starts loading water automatically. After about 5 minutes (the time varies depending on the model) loading is completed and the ice cube production cycle starts.
- F05 After about 20-30 minutes (depending on the model) the first cubes will be released which can then be removed from the container using the scoop provided. Subsequently, at intervals of about 20-30 minutes other ice cubes will be released continuously, without needing to press any button.
- To avoid excessive filling of the integrated container and possible ice cube spills, inside the container there is a container thermostat which stops production if the maximum capacity level is exceeded.
- When the cubes are withdrawn and the level drops, the appliance automatically resumes production without the need for any operation on the part of the user.
- After taking the ice, the scoop must be placed inside the collection container; to avoid contamination of the ice, use only the scoop provided and sanitize it frequently.

Ice cube production stop

To block the cyclical production of ice, press the ON/OFF switch (if present). In the models without the ON/OFF switch, to stop production, unplug or turn OFF the switch that powers the socket or the electrical panel to which the appliance is connected.

Even if the key is off, the appliance is still powered up.

Turning the appliance off

To turn the appliance off, for example to carry out cleaning or at the end of the working day, unplug the appliance or turn off the switch that powers the socket or the electrical panel to which the appliance is connected.
