5. Installation and operation
5.1 Safety instructions
WARNING! Electrical hazard!
The device must only be connected to a properly installed single socket with
protective contact.
Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet.
Cable must not touch any hot parts.
• See that the cable does not touch any heat sources or sharp edges. Do not let the
cable dangle over the counter edge.
• Do not use the device in case it does not function properly, has been damaged or
dropped.
• Do not use any accessory or spare parts that have not been recommended by the
manufacturer. These can be dangerous for the user or lead to damages of the device
or personal injury, and further, the warranty expires.
• Do not lay the cable over carpets or heat insulations. Do not cover the cable. Keep
away the cable from operating range and do not dunk it into water.
• Do not move or tilt the device when in operation.
WARNING! Hazard via electrical current!
The device can cause injuries due to improper installation!
Before installation the local power grid specification should be compared with
that of the device (see type label).
Connect the device only in case of compliance!
Take note of the security advice!
5.2 Installation and connection
• Discard the complete packing material after unpacking the device.
• Place the device on top of an even and safe surface which supports the weight of the
device and is stable.
• Not at any time should you place the device on an inflammable surface (such as:
table cloth, carpet, etc.).
• You must not position the device near open fireplaces, electric ovens/arc furnaces,
furnaces/electric heaters or other heat sources.

- 21 -
• The electrical circuit in the socket must be secured to at least 16A. Only connect the
device directly to the wall socket; do not use any extension cords or power strips.
• Place the device so that the plug is easily accessible and can be quickly removed
from its socket in case of necessity.
5.3 Operating
• Before the first use, the unit should be cleaned in order to remove possible remnants
after the manufacturing process or remainders of the packaging (see 6.2 Cleaning).
• Place the enclosed funnel for filling on the casing and the container under the opening
for collecting ice.
CAUTION!
For safety reasons the unit can only work when the funnel for filling is placed on the
casing and the container for crushed ice is properly placed (snapped) under the
collection opening. Only then will the switch operate.
If the funnel for filling or the container for crushed ice is removed, the device
automatically switches off.
• Connect the device to the appropriate power source, and turn the ON/OFF switch to
the “I” position.
• The ice crusher should operate empty for 2-3 minutes to check if there are any
eventual defects (for example, a strange sound of operation or a defective rotary
motion of the cutting blades).
NOTE!
Ice made in the first cycle after cleaning should be removed for hygienic reasons
and not used for drinks, because traces of cleaner could be left in the interior of
the unit.
CAUTION!
Only ice cubes made in an ice dispenser should be given for crushing, and not ice
cubes from the freezer!
• Fill the funnel situated on the top of the unit with prepared ice cubes and start the
process for crushing ice. To do this, turn the ON/OFF switch to the “I” position.

- 22 -
WARNING! Risk of injury!
To avoid injury, you should never try to insert ice cubes under the blades using
your hands or by other means.
• If a larger piece of ice is stuck in the unit and the blades do not reach it, you should
turn the ON/OFF switch to the “O” position and remove the cord from the outlet.
• Pour hot water through the funnel for filling until the embedded piece of ice melts and
falls out.
• Re-insert the plug of the unit in the outlet, turn the ON/OFF switch to the “I” position
and continue the process of crushing, filling the funnel again with ice cubes.
• When the crushing process is finished, you can remove the container with crushed
ice. In such a case, the contact switch is automatically deactivated, and the ice
crusher stops the ice crushing process.
• Turn the ON/OFF switch to the “O” position and remove the cord from the outlet
(pull out the plug!), if it is not being used further.
