Dear customer,

thank you for choosing our ice cube maker. We hope you will enjoy our advanced product.

The ice cube makers of the „EB“ series have features that support you in your daily work routine and at the same time protect the environment.

The use of our new innovative technology guarantees a long service life and significantly reduces the noise level.

The hollow cones produced promise a great advantage, as these hollow ice cones can be used in mixers without overloading the knives. In addition, all ice cube makers have a water recycling system that saves up to 80% water compared to other appliances without a recycling system.

An insulated reservoir ensures that the hollow cones are retained for a long time. This reduces energy consumption. Any condensation that occurs is automatically removed.

Due to the compact design and the retractable removal flaps, the units can also be installed in a small space and the high-quality stainless steel housing enables easy cleaning.

In all ice cube makers we use the refrigerant R 600a or R 290, which makes them environmentally friendly and HFC-free.

The ice cube makers are used for commercial use in hotels, restaurants, canteens, bars, etc.

Saro does not warrant that the equipment will be used for any purpose other than that for which it is intended.

We hope you enjoy your new SARO ice cube maker!

INSTALLATION, START-UP AND OPERATION

• Unpack the package and take out the attached documents and spare parts such as the water inlet and outlet tubes, ice shovel etc.

• The ice cube machine should be positioned in a well ventilated area on a horizontal and stable ground.

• Make sure that the appliance is positioned not near to gas or electricity ovens or other sources of warmth and it must not come into contact with splash-water.

• Always leave at least 150 mm space on each side, so that the air can circulate well. Do not block the ventilation slots.

• Please adjust the feet, so that the ice cube machine stands absolutely level.• It has to be a downward gradient from the appliance to the discharge, because the ice cube machine

has no sewage pump. Therefore the drain hose should run below the appliance-lower-edge, so that the water can run out without any problem.

• Connect one end of the flexible plastic tube (included in the supply) with the water drain on the back side of the machine. The other tube end should be put into a tank (not included) for surplus water or into sewer.

• Connect one end of the inlet hose with the tap and the other end with the machine. In any case use at both connections the attached seals.

• Put the plug into a grounded plug socket and switch on the machine with the switch. In the first 3 minutes an automatic test run is done. Afterwards the machine starts the actual cool and production procedure. All production steps (water supply, ice preparing, ice cube production and keeping ice available) are continuously tested. If the ice storage container is full, the control lamp “ICE FULL” lights up and the ice cube production will be stopped automatically.

8Stand 01/2018 TM

• Before connecting the device to the mains, check that the type of current and the mains voltage comply with the information on the nameplate of the device.

• Make sure that the power cord is free of damage, a damaged cord must be replaced by a qualified professional.

• EA damaged device must not be used! In this case, disconnect the device from the power supply and contact your dealer

• Do not use adapters or extension cables• The device is under power as long as it is connected to the mains.• The unit does not have a power switch. Before the unit can be cleaned, the mains plug must first be

disconnected!• The device is intended for indoor use. Use outdoors, in rain, can lead to short circuits, leakage

current or electric shocks.• If the unit has become wet, unplug it from the mains immediately and have it checked by a

specialist before the next start-up. Danger of electric shock!• Never attempt to open or repair the device yourself. Danger of electric shock!

WARNING: DANGER FROM ELECTRICAL CURRENT!

WARNING: DANGER OF INJURY!

• Never try to place your fingers, chopsticks, screwdrivers or other thin objects between the bars of the cold air blower. Behind the protective grille, a fan rotates at high speed. There is a risk of injury, electric shock and damage to or malfunction of the unit.

WARNING: INJURY DANGER!

• Packaging materials such as foils, polystyrene or small parts of the transport safety device can be dangerous for children! There is a risk of injury or suffocation!

• Keep packaging material away from children at all times.

WARNING

9Stand 01/20187 TM

UNPACKINGMake sure that the packaging is undamaged. The device as well as the accessories are protected and / or fixed for transport. After opening the packaging, remove the packaging material and any transport securing devices in the form of adhesive tapes or cable ties.

Then check that the delivery is complete and make sure that neither the unit nor the accessories are damaged.

Keep the unit‘s packaging. The device can only be transported safely in its original packaging. If it is not possible to store the packaging, separate the various packaging materials and return them to the nearest collection point for proper disposal.

STRUCTUREPlace the unit in a dry and adequately ventilated room. Ensure that you stand securely on a dry and non-slip surface.

Place the unit with the rear side at least 10 cm away from the wall to ensure sufficient air circulation at all times. There should be at least 30 cm of space above the unit; 2 cm to the sides.

Performance and power consumption may be affected by ambient temperature or direct sunlight. Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight and do not place it near a stove, radiator or other heat source.

Ensure that the mains plug is always freely accessible and can be disconnected from the mains without any problems.

Set up the shelves of the appliance so that the distances correspond to the height of your goods.

Although the device has been cleaned from the inside before it was shipped, it is still necessary to clean the interior before filling it with merchandise.

Please wait 24 hours before switching on the device. During this time, we recommend that you leave the door open to remove any residual odours.

AFFILIATIONConnect the unit only to a grounding socket outlet with an earthing and a 230 volt connection.

Before connecting the device, make sure that the voltage and frequency of the power supply correspond to the information on the nameplate! Other voltages can lead to overheating of the device!

• The unit must be disconnected from the power supply before cleaning!• Never use water directly or a water jet to clean the unit!• Never immerse the device, cable or plug in water!

WARNING: DANGER FROM ELECTRICAL CURRENT!

CLEANINGTo avoid the risk of electric shock or injury from the rotating fan, disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning. Do not start cleaning before the fan has come to a standstill!

• Clean the exterior surfaces with a damp, warm rag and a commercial cleaning agent. Do not use aggressive detergents and under no circumstances steel wool or abrasive sponges. The appliance may not be hosed down with water.

• Clean the ice storage container with a clean rag. Before take out the ice cubes.• Clean also from time to time the ventilation slots, because dust and dirt can block the slots. Remove

for this the plastic cover from the left side of the appliance by loosening the two screws. With a soft brush or hand brush and a vacuum cleaner make everything clean there. On the right side of the appliance it is sufficient to wipe off the plastic cover.

• Check the connection points for the water inlet and outlet of the unit regularly.• the ice cube maker is to be taken out of operation for a longer period of time, then

• turn it off • remove the plug from the socket • close the water supply • clean the inside and outside of the unit.

• It is advisable to pour a descaler into the drains from time to time and let it work for about 20 minutes. After this time, open the rear drain screws to drain the water/lime mixture. Then rinse the drains with clear water and screw them back on again. For health reasons, do not use ice cubes produced in the first 4 to 5 cycles after decalcification.

• We recommend that you have the ice cube maker completely disinfected by your specialist dealer once a year or after every longer shutdown of the unit. The works include: Cleaning the condenser, cleaning the filter on the magnetic valve of the water supply and cleaning the ice tank, the water pan and the evaporator.

13Stand 01/20187 TM

DISPOSAL
