FITTING THE ICE COLLECTION BASKET
Fig. 1
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Unpack the appliance and dispose of all packaging safely.
2. Check all parts are present and become familiar with the parts of
the ice maker and how to fit and lift out the ice collection basket
(fig.1).
3. Clean appliance and all detachable parts in accordance with the
cleaning section of these instructions.
4. Check that the drain on the underside of appliance is fully
closed.
5. Place the ice maker on a stable, flat surface that will be
undamaged by heat and water, that is within easy reach of a plug
socket and away from heat sources.
6. Ensure that there is 15cm clearance for adequate airflow around
all sides.
7. Allow the appliance to settle for 2 hours before using. Using
the appliance immediately can seriously damage the icemaker.
The resting time allows the oil in the compressor to flow back
into position and for the gas to settle.

Issue 1 28/7/2021 7
ICE MAKER USE
1. Place the ice maker in the desired location and ensure the oil
and gas have had chance to settle if the appliance has been
moved.
2. Lift the lid, remove the ice collection basket (if fitted).
3. Using a jug, fill the water reservoir with drinking water at or
below room temperature. Do not exceed the MAX level mark and
never use warm or hot water as this will damage the appliance.
4. Refit the ice collection basket and close the lid.
5. Fully unwind the cable and plug in, the POWER indicator will
illuminate and flash. For safety do not allow the cable to dangle
over the edge of units.
6. Press the ON/OFF button. The POWER indicator will stop
flashing.
7. Press the SELECT button until the indicator of choice is
illuminated.
‘S’ indicator illuminated = Small cubes
‘L’ indicator illuminated = large cubes
8. Ice making will start automatically and it will take 7 –15 minutes
to produce the first batch of ice. The time taken depends on the
ambient temperature and the temperature of the drinking water
added. Cooler room temperatures and drinking water will result
in ice being formed in a faster time. The sequence is as follows -
Water is pumped into the tray below the evaporator (metal
tube).
Ice begins to form around the evaporator.
When ice reaches the size selected (Small or Large), the
water tray under the evaporator tilts and the remaining
water drains back into the reservoir.
Ice drops from the evaporator and is pushed forward into
the ice collection basket by the ice shovel.
The water tray will return to the position under the
evaporator and the sequence will begin again.
9. When sufficient ice has been produced press the ON/OFF button
to switch off the appliance and transfer the ice to the freezer or
ice bucket
10. Unplug the appliance, allow it to warm up to room temperature
and drain the water from the reservoir if the appliance is not
going to be used again soon.

Issue 1 28/7/2021 8
REFILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR
If the ADD WATER indicator activates the water reservoir requires to
be refilled and the ice maker will pause automatically.
1. Open the lid and lift out the ice collection basket.
2. Using a jug, fill the water reservoir with cool drinking water. Do
not exceed the MAX level mark.
3. Refit the ice collection basket and close the lid.
4. Press the ON/OFF button to restart operation. If the ON/OFF
button is not pressed after refilling, operation will restart
automatically after 30 minutes.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Rinsing the ice maker
After 24 hours of inactivity the water reservoir and pipework need
to be flushed for hygiene reasons.
1. Switch off and unplug the appliance.
2. Lift the lid and remove the ice collection basket.
3. Move the ice maker forward so that drain plug clears the worktop
by 6cm (fig. 2) and position a large bowl (e.g. washing up bowl)
to collect the residual water in the reservoir.
4. Open the drain plug (fig. 3) and empty the water.
5. Refit the drain plug and fill the water reservoir with fresh drinking
water.
6. Plug in and switch on the appliance and then press the SELECT
button until the ‘clean’ indicator starts to flash.
7. Press the ON/OFF button. The ‘clean’ indicator will stop flashing
and the pump will circulate water through the icemaker for 5
minutes and automatically stop.

8. Once the water has been circulated, switch off the appliance,
open the drain plug and empty the water again.
9. Refit the drain plug (fig 4), reposition the ice maker, fill the water
reservoir with fresh drinking water and use as normal.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the icemaker once per week if in regular use, when the CLEAN
indicator activates, before and after prolonged storage.
1. Switch off and unplug the appliance and allow it to warm up to
room temperature.
2. Lift the lid and remove the ice collection basket.
3. If residual water can be seen in the water tray under the
evaporator, push the tray gently backwards so that all the water
drains back into the reservoir.
4. Move the ice maker forward so that drain plug clears the worktop
by 6cm (fig. 2) and position a large bowl (e.g. washing up bowl)
to collect the residual water in the reservoir.
5. Open the drain plug and empty the water (fig. 3).
6. Grip the filter and pull straight upwards to remove.
7. Wipe internal surfaces with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and
vinegar, rinse with clean water and then wipe dry.
8. Wipe external surfaces of the ice maker with a soft damp cloth
and dry surfaces with a soft dry cloth.
9. Wash loose parts (filter, ice scoop and ice collection basket) in
hot water with a little washing up liquid. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. Not suitable for the dishwasher.
10. Do not use boiling water, strong detergents or abrasives, as these
may dull or scratch the surface. Do not immerse in water. Do
not use a steam cleaner.
11.Ensure all parts are dry before refitting the drain plug (fig. 4),
loose parts and storing.
12. If the ice maker is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost,
clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing
within the appliance.
