Description
START
Press to switch the appliance ON and begin making ice.
STOP
Press to switch the appliance OFF.
SELECT
Press to select the required ice cube size. The lamp next to the "size" icons illuminates to show the current selection. Note that larger cubes take longer to produce, however, also melt at a slower rate. For higher ambient temperatures, large is recommended.
ADD WATER
Illuminates if the water reservoir empty – add water to the machine. Machine may also beep.
ICE FULL
Illuminates if the ice reservoir is full. When full, no more ice is produced. Machine may also beep.

Operation
Water Filling
It is recommended to use only bottled, filtered or tap water that is suitable for drinking. Do not use any other type of liquid, such as fruit juice. • Do not use water that has remained in the
appliance for a period of time – it is recommended to always use fresh water at each use.
1. Disconnect the appliance from the mains electrical supply.
2. Open the ice / water reservoir cover (A).
3. Use a suitable container to fill the water reservoir to just beneath the ice tray (B).
4. Close the water reservoir cover and reconnect the appliance to the mains electrical supply.
Console and Functions
The appliance features a display that provides you with information, such as current function, when more water is required etc, The console activates as soon as the appliance is connected to the electrical supply.

This image shows water in the ice making tray and ice forming on the cooling elements. When the ice cubes are ready, the remaining water is returned to the water reservoir, the ice drops from the cooling elements and is shifted to the ice reservoir by a "comb".
Making Ice
If ice is made and left in the appliance, it may eventually melt – when melted, the water returns to the
water reservoir. Be careful to avoid overflow from the water reservoir due to melted ice adding to the current reservoir contents. • Ensure that adequate water is in the water reservoir when making ice. • It takes several minutes to create each batch of ice cubes, and this is also affected by the ambient temperature – do not expect instant ice to be available. To monitor ice production, view it through the "window" in the ice / water reservoir cover – do not allow the cover to remain open, and close it as soon as possible in order to retain ice-cold temperatures in the ice reservoir. • Note that the size of the ice cubes may vary for the first few ice making cycles.
Switch the ice making function ON using the START button. When on, the appliance draws water up from the water reservoir into the cooling unit, creates the ice, drains excess water back into the water reservoir, then moves the ice into the ice collection tray. Use the supplied scoop to collect the ice.
Care and Maintenance
After use, drain the appliance by removing the drain cap on the rear of the unit until no water remains.
Re-install drain cap and open reservoir covers approximately halfway and leave open. This helps thoroughly dry the inside of the appliance and helps prevent corrosion of surfaces.
After each use, clean the inside of the appliance with a cloth and a solution of water and a small amount of
vinegar. Do not use detergents, solvents or chemicals.
When the appliance is in use, ensure that the reservoir cover is fully closed.
Regularly remove any accumulated dust from the air vents and cooling holes in the body of the machine.
If required, clean the appliance body with a damp cloth. Do not use detergents, solvents or chemicals.
