TIPS FOR YOUR ICE MAKER
• Opening the lid for long periods can cause a significant
increase of the temperature in the compartments of the
appliance.
• It is normal for the compressor and condenser surface to
reach temperatures between 70°C and 90°C during operation
and surrounding areas may be very hot.
• Due to fast freezing, ice cubes may become opaque. This is
due to air becoming trapped in the water and will not affect the
quality or taste of the ice.
• Do not use with water that is micro biologically unsafe or of
unknown quality. Always use fresh water before starting ice
production either at initial installation or after a long shut-off.

14
MAINTENANCE
If the unit fails to operate efficiently, is broken or other problems
arise, unplug and do not operate.
