When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed to
reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, and injury to persons or property.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (incl. children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
Exercise caution and supervise when this appliance is used near children.
• Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord. (If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a
similarly qualied person.)
• The power cord must be connected to an earthed power source. (See page 5)
• Do not run the power cord over carpeting or other heat insulators. Do not cover
the cord. Keep cord away from trafc areas, and do not submerge in water.
We do not recommend the use of an extension cord, as it may overheat
and become a re hazard. If you must use an extension cord, use
0.75mm2 minimum size 3-core cable thickness and rated no less than
16A/250Vac with a 3-pin plug. Ensure that the extension cable has
correct earth/grounding. (Do not use a 2-core cable extension !!)
• Unplug the ice maker before cleaning or making any repairs or servicing.
• Do not use liquid other than water to make the ice.
• Do not clean your ice maker with amable uids. Fumes can create a re hazard.
• This ice maker is designed to operate between 10ºC and 43ºC ambient
temperatures.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a ammable
propellant in this appliance.
• Do not expose your ice-maker to the elements. Place the ice-maker away from
direct sunlight and make sure that there is at least 10mm of space between the
back of your unit and a wall. Keep at least 10mm on each side of your unit for
free airow. (See page 6)
• This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications.

CONNECTING YOUR ICE MAKER
1. This unit should be properly earthed/grounded for your safety. The power
cord of this appliance is equipped with a grounding plug which connects with
standard grounding wall outlets to minimize possibility of electric shock.
2. Plug your appliance into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet.
Do not, under any circumstances, connect a damaged electrical cable to the
wall socket.
3. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be answered
by a certi ed electrician.
4. This appliance requires a standard 220-240Volt, 50Hz electrical outlet.
CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR ICE MAKER
Before using your ice maker, it is recommended to clean it thoroughly:
1. Take out the ice basket and ice shovel.
2. Clean the interior with a mild diluted detergent, warm water and a soft cloth.
3. Rinse the inside parts, and drain out the water by unplugging the water
drain plug on the front underside of the ice maker.
4. The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned regularly with a mild
detergent solution and warm water.
5. Dry the interior and exterior with a clean soft cloth.
6. When the machine is not going to be used for a long time, drain the water
completely, dry the interior and leave the lid ajar.
Ensure electrical appliance is earthed/grounded as shown:
WARNING !

1. Open the cover, remove the ice basket and pour 2.2 litres of water into the
reservoir (tank). Keep water level below the MAXIMUM water level mark.
2. Press the “ON/OFF” button on the control panel to begin the ice making cycle.
3. Select the ice bullet size by pressing the “SELECT” button. If the room
temperature is lower than 15ºC, it is recommended to select small “S” ice.
(This prevents the ice bullets sticking together.)
4. The ice bullet making cycle lasts approx. 6 to 13 minutes, depending on
seletion of ice size and the room temperature. The recommended ambient
room temperature is between 10ºC to 43ºC.
The colder the ambient temperature, the quicker the ice will form.
Below 10ºC, and “L” setting, the unit may form a solid block around
the metal freeze  ngers and jam/damage the ice scoop mechanism.
5. If the water pump can’t inject water, the ice maker will stop automatically, and
the “Add Water” indicator will go on. Press the “ON/OFF” button,  ll water up
to the max. water level mark and press “ON/OFF” button again to turn on
the unit again. Allow the refrigerant liquid inside the compressor at least
3 minutes to settle before restarting.
6. The unit stops when the ice basket is full (“Ice Full” indicator on).
There is an optical (infra-red) sensor beam which will stop the ice making
process when interrupted by ice  lling the basket.
Direct sunlight or sunlight refl ection may cause the infra-red sensor
to malfunction. (eg.The unit may not stop even though the ice
basket is full, or may switch off the ice-making process prematurely.)
7. To ensure healthy hygiene and prevent possible bacterial contamination, it is
recommended to change the water in the water reservoir every 24 hours.
8. If the unit is not being used, drain all the water via the water drain plug and
dry the reservoir and unit thoroughly - leaving the door ajar for airing.
(NOTE: If stored damp, mould and bacteria build-up will occur.)
