the possible installation of a water filter or conditioner.

O ENSURE OP IMAL PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR ICEMAKER, HE
FOLLOWING IS RECOMMENDED –
•Ensure that the minimum water temperature is not lower than
+5°C or higher than +40°C
•Minimum water pressure is not below 0.1MPa and maximum does
not exceed 0.5MPa
•The electrical supply available corresponds to the voltage and
ampacity of the machine specifications as indicated on the rating
plate
•The electrical cut off switch with fuse protection must be a 2 pole
type with minimum clearance of 3mm between open contacts
•The minimum ambient temperature should not be lower than
+10°C or the maximum higher than +40°C
•Ensure there is a minimum space around the cabinet vents of
150mm to allow air circulation.
•Ensure there are no heat sources (kitchen stoves cookers radiators
etc) near the machine and the environment isn’t too humid.
INS ALLA ION
•Check the machine is level and connect the plug to the electrical
cord in compliance with local regulations
•Replace any old/used water hoses with new ones and connect to the
water supply
•Ensure the drain is connected and set up properly using a spiralled

cleaning solution.
•Ensure the main switch is set to ON
•The first batch of ice should drop into the storage bin approximately
30 minutes from startup
•A EN ION – If the temperature of the room in which the
machine is placed is below 15°C the freezing cycle length will be
shorter (17 – 20mins). Alternatively if the ambient temperature is
30°C or above the cycle length will be longer (25 – 30mins)
•To stop the icemaker always use the specific hand disconnect
switch or the main unit ON-OFF switch.
