4.2 Functions of the Appliance
The flake ice is formed in the appliance in a special vertical evaporator, made of
copper and with an augur inside, which pushed out the chilled and ice-frozen water
towards the outlet thus letting it fall down into the storage container. As long as
there are no alarm messages, the production is uninterrupted and stops only when
the power supply is switched of or when the storage container is full, meaning when
the infra-red fill level sensor in the storage container is triggered and stops the
production.
When the flake ice is dispensed from the storage container, the fill level sensor re-
enables the production of flake ice and the appliance re-starts the production. The
amount of the produced flake ice depends on water temperature and the room.
If the appliance stops due to a malfunction, the LED indicator light in the control key
lights up or blinks in red or white.

5 Installation and operation
5.1 Installation
CAUTION!
Incorrect installation, positioning, operation, maintenance or misuse of
the appliance may lead to personal injury or property damage.
Positioning and installation, as well as repairs may be performed by
authorised technical service only and in compliance with the applicable
national law.
NOTE!
The manufacturer disclaims all liability and provides no warranty for
damages, which may be attributed to non-observance of regulations or
incorrect installation.
Unpacking / Positioning
•Unpack the appliance, remove all external and internal packaging elements and
shipment safeguards.
CAUTION!
Choking hazard!
Prevent children from accessing package materials, for instance: plastic
bags and EPS.
•If the appliance is covered with a protective film, remove it. Remove the film
slowly, so no glue residues are left. Remove any glue residues with the use of a
suitable solvent.
•Be careful not to damage the rating plate and warning labels fixed on the
appliance.
•Never place the appliance in humid or wet environment.
•Place the appliance in a way making the connections easily accessible, so that
they may be quickly disconnected if such a need arises.
•The appliance should be placed on surfaces that are:
–even, with sufficient bearing capacity, resistant to water, dry and resistant
to high temperatures;

Installation and operation
12 / 32 104609
EN
–sufficiently large, and thus enabling usage of the appliance with no
problems;
–easily accessible;
–well ventilated.
•The appliance may be loaded and unloaded with a forklift truck or a pallet truck,
with the length of over half of the length of the appliance.
•The lifting equipment must be selected according to dimensions of the packed
appliance/components and the weight of the appliance.
•During operation follow all the necessary precautions in order not to damage the
appliance.
•Remove cardboard packaging from the wooden base, on which the appliance is
standing.
•Then lift the appliance with a suitable lifting equipment (lift truck or the like) and
remove he wooden base.
•Place the appliance in a suitable location.
Requirements for Place of Installation
When selecting the place of installation, provide for the following conditions:
–ambient temperature may not drop below 10°C (50°F) and rise above
43°C (110°F);
–water temperature may not be below 10°C (50°F) nor above 32°C (90°F)
(Fig. 4 at the beginning of the operating instructions);
–water supply pressure may not be below 0.1 MPa (1 bar) nor above
0.5 MPa (5 bar). If the pressure exceeds 0.5 MPa, install a pressure
reducer between water supply and the appliance (Fig. 5);
–there may be no heat sources in the vicinity,
–the appliance may not be subject to direct sunlight (Fig. 6);
–the location must be free of dust, as the condenser of the cooling unit
may clog rapidly (Fig. 8);
–the fan of the cooling unit may not be covered (Fig. 8),
–the appliance may not be installed in plunged areas, as in the case of
possible leakages, the coolant will be sinking down (Fig. 15),
–there may be no fuels, flammable nor explosive materials within the
radius of 3 m, and there must be sufficient air circulation provided for
(Fig. 19).
•Maintain minimum clearance from walls and other objects: 150 mm at the rear,
and 50 mm at both sides (Fig. 3).

Installation and operation
104609 13 / 32
EN
•Level the appliance (Fig. 3). If the appliance is not levelled, it may negatively
affect its functionality, as well as water supply.
Water Connection
1. Install the appliance near a water connection.
ATTENTION!
Connect the appliance only to a supply connection of potable water.
Otherwise install a water purification appliance.
2. Execute water connections before you execute electric connections.
3. Connect the enclosed 3/4” water drain tube to the water connection.
4. Connect the other end of the tube to the water connection at the back of the
appliance.
NOTE!
Due to practical and safety reasons we suggest to integrate a shut-off
valve, which is not a part of the delivery (Fig. 7):
1. ON/OFF switch; 2. Socket; 3. Plug; 4. Water connection; 5. Shut-off valve;
6. Water drain from condenser: water cooling version;
7. Water drain from storage container; 8. Water drain to open water trap.
Water Drain
1. Connect the enclosed water drain tube to the drain connection at the rear of the
appliance.
2. The other end of the water drain tube introduce into the open water trap (Fig. 7).
NOTE!
To provide for perfect water drain, the water drain tube must be routed at
the inclination of at least 3%; at the same time make sure it is not tangled
nor bent.
Power supply connection
•Verify if technical data of the appliance (see rating plate) correspond with the
local electric power grid specification.
•Connect the appliance to a single, properly grounded mains socket with
protective contact. Do not connect the appliance to a multi-socket.
•The power cord should be laid in a way preventing anyone from threading on it
or tripping against it.
•The maximum allowable tolerance for voltage difference is ±10% of rated value.

Installation and operation
14 / 32 104609
EN
•The electric circuit between the appliance and the power supply connection
should be equipped with a suitable multi-polar disconnecting device (Fig. 7),
which is capable of providing distance of contact opening rendering full
separation possible in the conditions of overvoltage category III.
•If in winter the appliance is brought from the outside to a room, leave it for a few
hours to heat up and reach the room temperature before switching it on.
•Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, wait 1 hour for the coolant
to stabilize.
•After a power failure or when the plug is removed from the socket, reconnect the
appliance to the power supply after 5 minutes at the earliest.
•The electric socket sho uldb e easily accessible so it is possible to quickly disco nnectt he power cord whenn ecessary. The electric socket sho uldb e easily accessible so it is possible to quickly disco nnectt he power cord whenn ecessary. The electric socket sho uldb e easily accessible so it is pos sible toq uickly discon nectt he power cord whe nnec essary.
5.2 Operation
Preparation of Appliance
1. Remove all accessories from the storage container (water supply tube, water
drain tube, ice shovel, documentation).
