Automatic Cleaning Function
This Ice Maker is featured with an automatic
cleaning function. When the appliance has
completed up to 1500 ice-making cycles (roughly
after 3-month routine use), the “
CLEAN
” indicator
light will flash with audible alarm, indicating the
unit needs to be cleaned. It will keep flashing and
alarming until auto-cleaning is started, during
which ice can still be made.
1. Press and hold the “
CLEAN
” button for 3
seconds. The water box at the top will turn
down and up. When it returns to horizontal
position, press the power switch to
O
(OFF
position) and unplug the machine. Make sure
no water remains in the water box.

5. Press and hold the “

pumped into the water box to start cleaning.
After about 10 minutes, the water box turns
to vertical to drop the cleaner. The appliance
will repeat above procedures twice. Then, the
“
CLEAN
” indicator light goes out, indicating
auto-cleaning is completed.
Note:
A cycle
takes about 30 minutes.
6. Turn the unit off and unplug. Remove the
drainage valve cap to empty the water
reservoir.
Note: After auto-cleaning, use
the first 3 ice making cycles to
flush out the system. Discard
the water and ice created from
these initial cycles.
Notes for Descaling:
In hard water areas lime scale can build up
within the appliance after prolonged use.
We suggest installing a water softener
before inlet of water in case the supplied
water is hard. The softener could be a
mechanical filter.
To descale, always choose a suitable
descaler and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
POLAR recommend that this appliance
is descaled every 3 months or more
frequently in hard water areas.
