1 RECOMMENDATIONS
This cleaning and sanitizing manual forms an integral part of the ice-cube maker (also more simply
called “appliance” in the text) and must be kept for possible future consultation.
In the event of the appliance being sold or transferred to another person, this manual must be handed
over to the new user, in order to enable him to become familiar with the operation of the equipment and
the corresponding advice and recommendations.
This cleaning and sanitizing manual does not replace the instruction book supplied with the ice maker,
which should be referred to for all subjects not covered by this manual; in particular, please refer to the
instruction book for the start-up procedure, connection of the appliance to the electricity mains and
water supply, and cleaning of components not expressly mentioned in the cleaning and sanitizing
manual.
The frequency of cleaning and sanitizing operations can vary, depending on:
♦temperature and environmental conditions
♦temperature and quality of water (hardness, presence of grit, etc.)
♦quantity of ice produced, or time of use of ice-cube maker
♦periods of non-use of ice-cube maker
TO ENSURE CORRECT CLEANING AND SANITIZING OF THE ICE-CUBE MAKER, PERFORM THE
OPERATIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH.
! IMPORTANT:
♦the operations described in this manual must only be performed by skilled, authorised
personnel
♦the appliance must be installed in a hygienically clean location; avoid premises such as cellars and
storerooms, because poor hygiene promotes the formation and proliferation of bacteria in the ice-cube
maker
♦do not use corrosive substances to remove limestone from the appliance, because this will invalidate
the guarantee, and may cause serious damage to the materials and components of the appliance
♦gloves suitable to protect against cuts must be worn when performing all operations involving handling
of sheet metal parts in particular
♦gloves suitable to protect the skin against the substances used must be worn when performing all
cleaning and sanitizing operations
♦wear suitable goggles during cleaning and sanitizing operations to protect the eyes against splashes
of the substances used
♦take care not to spill water or solutions on the internal components of the appliance, the wiring or the
power cable
