Packing

Do not throw the packing into the garbage: first sort out the different materials (i.e.:
steel, cardboard, polystyrene) following local regulations.

Conformity declaration
This appliance incorporates parts intended to come into contact with foodstuffs in
compliance with EEC directive 89/109/CEE.

INSTALLATION

In the ice bin of this appliance you will find the following accessories: instructions for
use, an envelope containing an ice pallet, a funnel with hose for periodical cleaning,
4 adjustable feet and washers.

- Fit the feet into the receptacles, proceeding as follows:

- Screw the 4 threaded supports on the bottom front and screw the adjustable
feet on the supports (Fig.1).

- Place the ice maker on a stable, level surface and adjust the feet if necessary.

- Do not install the unit close to a heat source, in a niche, or leaning against a
wall on one side; air must be free to circulate through the ventilation grids
(vicinity not less that 6cm).

- In rooms with an ambient temperature lower that +10 ºC or higher than +32
ºC, ice cubes production is not guaranteed. However, at ambient
temperatures from +16 ºC to +32 ºC, ice cubes production can be
guaranteed if a tropicalized unit is installed.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Check that the voltage on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage in your home

(Fig.2).

Connect the appliance to the mains and ensure that it is working correctly before
storing food.
The earthing of this appliance is compulsory by law.

- The electrical and plumbing connection must be carried out by a qualified
technician, in compliance with local safety regulations. The manufacturer will
accept no liability for damage to persons or objects arising from non­observance of this requirement.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

“WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED”
(For Great Britain Only)
Fuse Replacement.

If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS 1363A 13 amp fused plug, to
change a fuse in this type of plug use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type and
proceed as follows:

1. Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B).

2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover.

3. Refit both into plug.

IMPORTANT: The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a fuse and if the fuse
cover is lost the plug must not be used until a correct replacement are identified
by the colour insert or the colour embossed in words on the base on the plug.
Replacement fuse covers are available from your local electrical store.

CONNECTION TO A REWIRABLE PLUG

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, then it should be cut off and
disposed of in order to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a
13A socket elsewhere. A suitable alternative plug should then be fitted to the
cable. The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code;
BLUE-“NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN- “LIVE” (“L”)
GREEN AND YELLOW- “EARTH” (“E”)

1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter “E” or by the Earth symbol ╧ or coloured green
or green and yellow.

2. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter “N” or coloured black.

3. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter “L” or coloured red.

For the Republic of Ireland only

The information given in respect of Great Britain will frequently apply, but a third type
of plug and socket is also used, the 2-pin, side earth type. In this case, the wire which
is coloured GREEN AND YELLOW must be connected to the EARTH contact, and the
other two wires to the two pins, irrespective of colour. The supply to the socket must
be fitted with a 16 amp fuse.

PLUMBING CONNECTION

- Connect the water and drain hoses through the rear wall of the unit (Fig. 3).

- Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap, having a 3/4” BSP thread.
The outlet hose is to be placed into a drain, preferably equipped with an S –
trap to prevent any odour back-up. The drain must be at a lower level than
the outlet of the hose from the appliance.

- The outlet hose should be inclined at least 10 degrees so the water can drain
naturally.

- If the water is very hard (rich in calcium and magnesium salts), insert a
softener- filter on the inlet connection between the tap and the hose. This filter
brings the water hardness to a normal value.

- Regenerate or replace the water-softener filter (according to the type) when
the ice cubes are not completely transparent or production time is increased.
This appliance conforms to EEC directive Nº 82/499/ECC on radio
interference.
