The controls
Automatic Ice Maker:
●8 pieces of ice can be made at a time, 80 pieces a day. But these quantities may vary according to various conditions, such as the location of the appliance and how many times the door is opened and closed.
●Ice making stops when the ice storage bin is full.
WARNING:
●The initial amount of ice and water dispensed may contain particles from the feed water tube.
Therefore we recommend you discard approximately, the first 20 pieces of ice and the first 7 glasses of water dispensed straight after installation and again if the appliance has not been used for a long time.
NOTE:
●It is normal to hear a noise when ice is dropped into the ice storage bin.
●Never store drink cans or other foods in the ice storage bin for the purpose of rapid cooling - this could damage the appliance.
●Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
●Never touch the ice outlet by hand or using a tool of any kind - this could cause damage or injury.
●Never remove the ice maker cover.
●Level the surface of the ice in the ice storage bin to ensure ice production continues to its full capacity.
●Ensure food packages do not block the ice passage, from the Automatic Ice Maker to the Dispenser Unit
●If ice is not used regularly, it may lump together. When this happens, remove the lumps of ice from the ice storage bin - break them into small pieces and return the smaller pieces to the ice storage bin.
●If the ice maker frequently has lumped together ice or it produces too small cubes - the amount of water supplied to the ice maker may need to be adjusted. Contact Hotpoint service, see back cover.
WARNING:
●If discoloured ice is dispensed, stop using and contact Hotpoint service, see back cover.
