Cleaning, Care &
Maintenance
•
Always switch off and disconnect the power
supply before cleaning.
•
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
(GL192 only)
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 the "CLEAN" button. 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: During cleaning, if the
"WATER LOW" indicator light illuminates, add
an extra 0.5L cleaner into the reservoir.
6. Turn the unit off and unplug. Remove the
drainage valve cap to empty the water
reservoir.
