Do not use corrosive substances to remove limescale from the appliance, because this will invalidate the warranty, and may
cause serious damage to the materials and components of the appliance.
Do not use jets of water to clean the appliance.
All cleaning operations must be carried out only after the electric power and water supplies have been disconnected, as
described previously, by professionally qualified and authorized personnel.
Follow the instructions given in the cleaning and sanitizing manual supplied with the appliance.
IMPORTANT:
All the ice produced during the first 5 cycles after cleaning and sanitizing operations, and any ice already in the container, must
be eliminated.
Complete sanitizing can only be carried out only by the Authorized Technical Service Centres, and must be done regularly depending on
the conditions of use of the appliance, the chemical and physical features of the water, and after every period in which the appliance has
remained at a standstill for any length of time.
