BorrelliIce FlakerUser Manual

Before use

• Remove all packaging and leave the unit to stand upright for 12 hours before switching on, so the refrigerant can settle.
• Clean the interior and the storage bin before first use.
• Discard the first two batches of ice.

Positioning

• Install on a flat, stable surface sturdy enough to support the loaded unit, indoors and out of direct sunlight or heat.
• Keep the machine in a temperature-controlled environment, not exposed to rain or weather.
• Allow 20 mm at the sides and 100 mm at the rear (15 cm back and sides on larger models) for airflow.

Water and drainage

• Connect the labelled water-supply pipe (with its filter) to the corresponding inlet; seal the threads with Teflon tape. If unsure, use a licensed plumber.
• Insert the drainage pipe into the machine and run it to the drainage point. The drain outlet must sit lower than the machine outlet, as it is gravity-fed.
• After connecting, the self-locking drain fitting keeps the connection from leaking.

Exterior and interior

• For dust, wipe inside and out with a dry cloth.
• For a deeper clean, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
• Clean the unit regularly.
• Never use polishing powder, soap powder, benzine, oil or hot water — these damage the paint and plastic.

After cleaning, check the power cord for cracks or damage. If you find any, contact Borrelli.

This machine produces soft flake (crushed-style) ice for seafood displays, smoothies and cocktails – not solid cubes.

Starting the machine

• Switch the machine on at the power switch; it begins making flake ice automatically.
• Flake ice is produced continuously and falls into the storage bin.
• When the bin fills, the ice-full sensor stops production automatically and restarts as ice is used.

During service

• Use a clean ice scoop to take ice; never use a glass or metal container that could chip and fall into the bin.
• Keep the bin lid closed to slow melting and keep the ice clean.
• The storage bin is not refrigerated, so flake ice melts over time – make what you need and let melt water drain away.

Display panel

• Green On/Off switch: use this switch to turn the unit on and off.
• “Run” light: when this light is on, the unit is creating ice flakes.
• “Fault” light: there is a fault within the unit – please consult a qualified technician.
• “Ice Fault” light: the drum is full of ice. In order to have more ice made, remove some ice.
• “Water Flow” light: when this light is on, the unit is lacking water. Check the water inlet pipe to see if there is a blockage.

Inside your ice flaker

• Drainage point: located at the bottom left of the drum. This leads directly to the drain pipe, removing excess water to the designated drainage point.
• Sensor probe: this probe notifies the unit to stop making ice flakes. Once there is enough ice to touch the probe, no more ice will be made.

Follow these tips to get the best performance, efficiency and lifespan from the machine.

Water quality

• Use a potable water supply; a filter improves clarity and reduces scale.
• Flush the machine after any interruption to the water supply.

Condenser

• Clean the condenser regularly to clear dust – a clogged condenser reduces output and shortens the compressor’s life.

Long shutdown

• Switch off, drain the water, clean the bin and leave the lid open to air.
