After Use
When the Ice Machine is not to be used for some time (eg during the next 48
to 72 hours) it should be disconnected from the electrical supply and any
remaining ice cubes should be removed and the Water Tank emptied. Any
excess water in the Ice Cube Container and the Water Tank should be
removed using paper kitchen towels or similar product.
It is recommended that the machine is cleaned on a regular basis, perhaps
once every three months, by using a solution of 1 part vinegar to 10 parts
water. The machine should be allowed to complete one ice making cycle with
this cleaning solution, left to stand for 6 hours then emptied, thoroughly rinsed
with fresh water and dried as in the previous paragraph.
An alternative cleaning solution is 1 part bicarbonate of soda to 5 parts water.
Again one complete ice making cycle should be completed and the machine
allowed to stand for 6 hours, emptied, rinsed and dried before further use.
Solvents, detergents and abrasives must not be used for cleaning.
Hints and Tips
Do not place the ice machine on its side or upside down. Pay particular
attention to this when the machine is being moved.
Ventilation grilles must not be obstructed.
Do not immerse the machine in water or other liquid.
The machine has internal moving parts. Do not open the Cover when the
machine is connected to the electricity supply and take particular care to
prevent children from getting access to or playing with the machine. The ice
making bars are very cold and touching them could result in ice burns.
Do not use water that is below 8ºC (47ºF) as this may cause the ice cubes to
fuse into one large block of ice. Always try small (S) cube selection first as this
may give cubes of sufficient size.
As with all electrical appliances, if used outdoors ensure that it is protected
from the elements and, where possible, an earth leakage contact breaker is
used.
