The figures in this manual are of a general nature. Some details may therefore differ,
depending on the specific model.
The Manufacturer declines all liability for any inaccuracies in this cleaning and sanitizing
manual due to printing or transcription errors. The Manufacturer also reserves the right to
make any modifications to the products that may be necessary or useful, also in the interest
of the user, without impairing the products’ essential features of functionality and safety.

1 RECOMMENDATIONS
This cleaning and sanitizing manual forms an integral part of the automatic modular ice-cube
maker with vertical evaporator system (also more simply called “appliance” in the text) and must
be kept for possible future consultation
In the event of the appliance being sold or transferred to another person, this manual must be
handed over to the new user, in order to enable him to become familiar with the operation of the
equipment and the corresponding advice and recommendations
This cleaning and sanitizing manual does not replace the instruction book supplied with the ice
maker, which should be referred to for all subjects not covered by this manual; in particular,
please refer to the instruction book for the start-up procedure, connection of the appliance to the
electricity mains and water supply, and cleaning of components not expressly mentioned in the
cleaning and sanitizing manual
The frequency of cleaning and sanitizing operations can vary, depending on:
• temperature and environmental conditions
• temperature and quality of water (hardness, presence of grit, etc )
• quantity of ice produced, or time of use of ice-cube maker
• periods of non-use of ice-cube maker
TO ENSURE CORRECT CLEANING AND SANITIZING OF THE ICE-CUBE MAKER, PERFORM
THE OPERATIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH
‼ IMPORTANT
• the operations described in this manual must only be performed by skilled, authorized personnel
• the appliance must be installed in a hygienically clean location; avoid premises such as cellars
and storerooms, because poor hygiene promotes the formation and proliferation of bacteria in
the ice-cube maker
• a cleaning and sanitizing kit specifically designed for this appliance is available from your dealer
• do not use corrosive substances to remove limestone from the appliance, because this will
invalidate the guarantee, and may cause serious damage to the materials and components of
the appliance
• gloves suitable to protect against cuts must be worn when performing all operations involving
handling of sheet metal parts in particular
• gloves suitable to protect the skin against the substances used must be worn when performing
all cleaning and sanitizing operations
• wear suitable goggles during cleaning and sanitizing operations to protect the eyes against
splashes of the substances used
• take care not to spill water or solutions on the wiring or the power cable
