• Warm, soapy water is recommended for
cleaning. Cleaning agents may leave harmful
residues. DO NOT wash the base unit, instead
wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
• A POLAR agent or qualified technician should
carry out repairs if required.
• Clean the water filter regularly with a small
brush, particularly in hard water areas. The
water filter is located just inside the water inlet
at the back of the appliance.
• If the Ice Maker is to be left unused for longer
than 24 hours, loosen the drain valve cap and
drain the water from the tank.
• The inner removable parts and water tank
should be cleaned regularly.
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.

2. Unscrew the drainage valve cap at the right
lower part at the rear. Let the water drain from
the water reservoir thoroughly. Afterwards,
re-locate the drainage cap and screw tight.

3. Add around 3L dilute cleaner into the reservoir.
Note: Choose ice maker specific cleaner and
follow the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Plug the unit and press the power switch to I
(ON position).
5. Press and hold the "CLEAN" button for 3
seconds. The "CLEAN" indicator light turns
on. The cleaner in the water reservoir will be
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.
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
Drainage valve
descaler and follow the manufacturer's
cap
instructions.
POLAR recommend that this appliance
is descaled every 3 months or more
frequently in hard water areas.

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.
