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.
Pack Contents
The following is included:
• Ice Maker
• Ice scoop
• Inlet/Outlet hoses
• Sealing washers
• 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.
Note: Only use the hoses
supplied with the appliance.
Other hoses are not suitable and
should not be used.
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. Remove the Scoop, Inlet/Outlet hoses and
Sealing Washers from the ice bin.
3. 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.
4. 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.
For all plumbing installation, it
must comply with requirements
of AS/NZS 3500.1 and
AS/NZS3500.2, and all other
Local Authority Regulations.
Installing the Drain
For T316 only:
• Please note: this model
drains via gravity - no drain
pump supplied. An optional
drain pump is required if
installing this unit lower
than the drain standpipe.
• Ensure the end of the
drainage pipe is situated
lower than the Water Outlet
valve for efficient drainage.
Gravity drain (For T316 only)
5. Connect one end of the corrugated outlet
hose to the water outlet on the rear of the ice
maker.
6. Attach the other end of the hose to a plumbed-
in stand waste pipe or container suitable for
collecting waste water.

Operation
Making Ice
Note: Before using for the
first time (or after a period of
inactivity), clean the water tank,
ice basket and ice basket shelf.
Use the first ice making cycle to
flush out the system.
Discard the water and ice
created from the first cycle.
1. Ensure the door is closed fully before use.
2. Press the Power switch to the On position [I].
The RUN light illuminates and the appliance
begins the ice making process. Each ice making
cycle takes approximately 25 minutes.
3. When the cubes reach the ice sensor ice
production stops. Production resumes once ice
has been removed from the bin.
4. Press the Power switch to the Off position [O]
at any time to halt the ice making process.
Note: Ensure metal rack is
pushed as far forward as
possible against plastic ice
curtain to allow ice to fall.
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 just inside the water inlet
at the back of the appliance.
• If the Ice Maker is to be left unused for longer
than 24 hours, loosen the drain valve cap and
drain the water from the tank.
• The inner removable parts and water tank
should be cleaned regularly.

Automatic Cleaning Function
This Ice Maker is featured with an automatic
cleaning function. When the appliance has
completed up to 1500 ice-making cycles (roughly
after 3-month routine use), the “CLEAN” indicator
light will flash with audible alarm, indicating the
unit needs to be cleaned. It will keep flashing and
alarming until auto-cleaning is started, during
which ice can still be made.
1. Press and hold the “CLEAN” button for 3
seconds. The water box at the top will turn
down and up. When it returns to horizontal
position, press the power switch to O(OFF
position) and unplug the machine. Make sure
no water remains in the water box.

2. Unscrew the drainage valve cap at the right
lower part at the rear. Let the water drain from
the water reservoir thoroughly. Afterwards,
re-locate the drainage cap and screw tight.

3. Add around 3L dilute cleaner into the reservoir.
Note: Choose ice maker specific cleaner and
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Reservoir
4. Plug the unit and press the power switch to I
(ON position).
5. Press and hold the “CLEAN” button for 3
seconds. The “CLEAN” indicator light turns
on. The cleaner in the water reservoir will be
pumped into the water box to start cleaning.
After about 10 minutes, the water box turns
to vertical to drop the cleaner. The appliance
will repeat above procedures twice. Then, the
“CLEAN” indicator light goes out, indicating
auto-cleaning is completed. Note: A cycle
takes about 30 minutes.
6. Turn the unit off and unplug. Remove the
drainage valve cap to empty the water
reservoir.
Note: After auto-cleaning, use
the first 3 ice making cycles to
flush out the system. Discard
the water and ice created from
these initial cycles.
Notes for 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 descale, always choose a suitable
descaler and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
POLAR recommend that this appliance
is descaled every 3 months or more
frequently in hard water areas.
