User manual

This ice maker reduces the mineral level by circulating water during the ice production cycle (with excess
water removed via the outlet tube). Each cycle requires just over 20 ounces (0.64 quart) of water. For each
cycle, about 16 ounces (0.5 quart) is used in rinsing the water tank, with the remaining quantity removed
through the outlet pipe. In this process, some impurities unavoidably remain. They may accumulate on the
internal parts of the ice maker, forming abnormal ice pieces. Should a large quantity of mineral scale
accumulate, the lifespan of your ice maker may be reduced.
For best operation of the ice maker, impurities and minerals should be decomposed by washing with a
cleaning solution periodically. The method of cleaning the ice maker is described on pages 18 and 19.
In general, it is mandatory to use filtered water. Filters remove not only bad odors but also particles.
Dissolved solids may be treated with a reverse osmosis system, a condensed phosphate feeder, or a good
carbon filter. Neutral water is not recommended. Water softeners should not be used for the water
supply because they add minerals and soft ice may result. If you have any questions about the purity of
water, address your inquiry about water treatment to your Aficionado dealer, or to a water quality expert in
your area.
This product was thoroughly washed at the factory. However, check the cleanliness of the inside before use
and keep it clean during use.
