Introduction
Please take a few moments to carefully read
through this manual. Correct maintenance and
operation of this machine will provide the best
possible performance from your POLAR product.
The ice maker is designed to
make ice and should not be used
as storage to preserve foods,
drinks, etc.
Pack Contents
The following is included:
• Ice Maker
• Removable ice basket
• Ice scoop
• Instruction manual
POLAR prides itself on quality and service, ensuring
that at the time of packaging the contents are
supplied fully functional and free of damage.
Should you find any damage as a result of transit,
please contact your POLAR dealer immediately.
Installation
Note: If the unit has not been
stored or moved in an upright
position, let it stand upright for
approximately 12 hours before
operation. If in doubt allow to
stand.
1. Remove the appliance from the packaging and
remove the protective film from all surfaces.
2. When positioning the ice maker, maintain a
distance of 10cm between the appliance and
walls or other objects for ventilation. NEVER
LOCATE NEXT TO OR NEAR A HEAT
SOURCE.
3. If necessary, adjust the screw legs of the ice
maker to make it level. The efficiency of the
ice maker can be reduced if the appliance is
unevenly located.

Operation
Control Panel
Hand button Ice cube size indicator
Power switch: This switch can control the
mains power supply of the appliance.
Making Ice
Note: Before using for the first
time, clean the water tank, ice
basket and ice basket shelf. Use
the first 3 ice making cycle to
flush out the system. Discard
the water and ice created from
the first 3 cycles.
Each time the appliance is refilled, the first
ice making cycle is used to reduce the water
temperature. This results in uneven ice cube
production which is perfectly normal. You may wish
to discard ice created in the first two production
cycles.
1. Lift the access lid and fill the water tank up the
level of the ice basket shelf.
2. Connect the appliance to the power and press
the START button.
3. Press the HAND button repeatedly to scroll
through the ice cube sizes. Stop when the
required size is illuminated.
Note: The ice making cycle takes between
6-12 minutes, depending on the size of
cube selected. Larger cubes will take longer
to produce.
4. The appliance will run a startup routine and
then begin ice production.
Note: If the water level is too low, the
Water Low indicator lights up and the
appliance stops working. Fill the water tank
and the appliance will restart automatically.
5. When the cubes reach the ice sensor the
appliance will stop production. Production
resumes once ice has been removed.
6. Press the STOP button at any time to halt the
ice making process.
Cleaning, Care &
Maintenance
• Always switch off and disconnect the power
supply before cleaning.
• Warm, soapy water is recommended for
cleaning. Cleaning agents may leave harmful
residues. DO NOT wash the base unit, instead
wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
• A POLAR agent or qualified technician should
carry out repairs if required.
• Clean the water filter regularly with a small
brush, particularly in hard water areas. The
water filter is located in the pump inlet at the
bottom of the water tank, remove by pulling
out with fingers.

• If the appliance is to be left unused for longer
than 24 hours, loosen the drain screw and
drain the water from the tank.
• The inner removable parts and water tank
should be cleaned regularly.
Descaling
In hard water areas lime scale can build up
within the appliance after prolonged use.
We suggest installing a water softener
before inlet of water in case the supplied
water is hard. The softener could be a
mechanical filter.
To de-scale the appliance:
• Switch off and disconnect the power supply.
• Remove the ice basket and water filter for
cleaning.
• Add dilute cleaner into the water tank. (Note:
Choose ice maker specific cleaner and follow
the manufacturer’s instructions.)
• Clean the water box, evaporator (metal) and
water tank with a soft brush.
EvaporatorWater box
• Loosen the drain screw to drain the solution.
• Flush out the system thoroughly with clean
water to remove any cleaner residue.
• Re-locate all removable parts.
Note: After descaling, use the first 3 ice
making cycles to flush out the system.
Discard the water and ice created from
these initial cycles.
POLAR recommend this appliance is
descaled monthly or more frequently in
hard water area.
