ADJUSTING THE ICE CUBES LEVEL
The thermostat is pre-set at the factory. However, if the ambient temperature is higher
than +32 ºC it is necessary to adjust the thermostat knob position ☼, if the ambient
temperature is lower than +16 ºC, it will be necessary to adjust the thermostat knob to
position (Fig.7).
MAINTENANCE
Always pull out the plug and turn off the water before doing any work (cleaning or
repair) on the unit. Periodically clean the appliance (every 6 months) and the water
system, to keep the appliance operating at maximum efficiency and to ensure the
best ice cubes quality. When the ice cubes production time is increased, and the
cubes start to loose their transparency, it is time to clean the water system. How often
you clean this system depends on the hardness of the water. During freezing, the
calcium in the water deposited on the refrigerated plate. These deposits act as
insulation, decreasing the efficiency of the appliance's performance. To clean the
water system, proceed as follows:
1) Turn off the water and switch of the appliance by pressing the green
switch.
2) Open the ice bin and remove all the cubes.
3) Remove the plug or the drain hose (if provided) inside the bin (Fig.8) to
drain the water from the bin.
4) Pour 1.5 l of water mixed with 1/10 litre of vinegar or 4 tablespoonfuls of
lemon juice or citric acid into the bin using the funnel provided. (Fig.9).
5) Press the two switches (green and blue) and operate the appliance
for 40 minutes approx.
6) Release the two switches (green and blue) and drain this water
mixture into the liner by inverting the position of the funnel.
7) Pour 1.5 l water and 2 tablespoonful of baking soda into the bin, press
the two switches (green and blue) and operate the appliance for 5
minutes approx.
8) Drain the water and repeat the operation, by rinsing with 1.5 l of water
and leaving the appliance operating for 5 minutes.
9) Remove the funnel with the hose after the water drain and replace
the plug or the drain hose.
10) Clean the inside of the bin reservoir and the door gasket with a soft
cloth dampened in the solution of warm water and baking soda.
11) Press the green switch and turn the water on: the ice maker will begin
to work again.
-
We recommend you ask the intervention of the qualified technician to clean
periodically (once a year) the condenser and the motor compartment.
Important: To prevent odour contamination of the ice cubes, do not put foods or
beverages into the ice cube bin. When not in use for long periods of time
(holidays, etc) turn off the water, pull out the plug, remove all ice cubes, drain the
water tank by removing the plug or drain hose (Fig.8), and leave the door open to
prevent the formation of odours.
