PREPARING THE APPLIANCE FOR USE
Unpack the appliance and place it on a sturdy level
surface. Be careful to avoid injury, the unit weighs 20 Kg.
It is recommended that the packaging be retained for
secure movement/transport.
The appliance operates at its optimum performance
in an ambient temperature of 22 to 32 degrees C. It
is not recommended to install the appliance in a hot
location such as a garage, outhouse or utility room
as under such conditions, the ice cubes may be
undersized and this could damage internal
components. The refrigerant inside the appliance
must have time to settle following transportation
and a minimum stabilisation period of
three hours is
recommended prior to switching on the appliance.
There are three ventilation grilles in the appliance cover;
one in the lower left hand side, one in the lower right hand side and one in the rear panel. To ensure correct appliance
operation these grilles must not be obstructed. A gap of
at least
25 cm (12 inches) must be maintained between the
appliance sides, rear and top and other appliances or walls. Open the lid of the Ice Maker and remove the Ice Cube
Basket. Remove the polythene bag containing the mains lead and the ice scoop from the basket. Pour 2 litres of fresh,
drinkable water into the integral water tank. Puri
fi
ed still drinking water may be used if desired. Replace the Ice Cube
Basket and close the lid.
