4.3 Operation
• The production of ice takes place at the terminations (fingers) of the evaporator,
which are plunged in the tank filled with water. Water is constantly stirred by
rotating paddles.
• Water level may be regulated by rotating the micro-float or water sensor through
the designated crevice, located on the right bracket, following screwing the fixing
screw 1 off (Fig. 12). This regulation must be performed with power supply
disconnected.
• When ice cubes reach the expected size, they come into contact wit paddles,
and this spurs vibration of an adequate gear-motor, which powers the microswitch that, in turn, through a relay performs the following actions:
– sending hot gas to the evaporator through the solenoid valve; this makes
ice cubes separate gradually from evaporator's fingers.
– tilting the water tank, which is connected with the gear-motor by means
of a lever.
• After separation ice cubes move to a tilted grate inside the tank and then they
are transported to the storage container's shelf below.
• Water remaining in the pan is collected in a shelf that is located deeper in the
storage container and removed towards the drain.
• After approximately a minute the tank returns automatically to horizontal position
and fills with water to the pre-marked level. In the meantime, hot gas valve
closes again and the production cycle of ice cubes continues regularly. The
entire production cycle, depending on the water and ambient temperature, lasts
for 15–25 minutes.
• The number of ice cubes in the storage container is controlled by electronic
probe, which is located in the storage container. When ice cubes pile and reach
the probe, the appliance automatically stops production of ice cubes. When ice
cubes are removed, the production of ice is continued.
NOTE!
To speed up subsequent production of ice cubes, clear the probe off of
possible ice residue.

Descaling and Disinfection
To avoid problems caused by water hardness and the formation of contaminants on
parts or components in contact with water, the appliance is equipped with "Self
Cleaning" function.
This function keeps the appliance clean, free of limescale and deposits, thanks to
the cleaning action of a special descaling agent. Follow instructions of the agent's
manufacturer.
ATTENTION!
To ensure the cleanliness of the appliance, we recommend carrying out a
descaling cycle 3–4 times a year, depending on the hardness of tap water.
Carrying out Cleaning and Disinfection Cycle
CAUTION
When preparing the descaling solution (water + citric acid), take necessary
precautions when handling citric acid and wear gloves and protective
goggles.
1. Switch the appliance to stand-by mode.
2. Remove all ice from the storage container.
3. Pour at least 500 ml of descaling solution into the internal compartment of the
appliance (Fig. 14).
4. Hold down the Stand-by key for at least 9 seconds to start the descaling cycle.
During the descaling cycle, the key blinks as follows: off for 1 second, and on for 3
seconds (white). When the descaling cycle is complete, the appliance switches to
stand-by mode.
The descaling cycle lasts approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Once the function protecting against limescale build up is activated, the descaling
cycle can no longer be interrupted. In the event of a power failure, the appliance
continues from the point at which the interruption occurred.
NOTE!
If the appliance has not been used for a long period of time, it is advisable
to carry out the descaling cycle before starting ice production.
