The Klarstein IceMeister 2G is an ice cube maker designed for home use, capable of producing ice cubes in various sizes. This appliance is identified by item numbers 10035712 and 10035713.
Function Description
The IceMeister 2G is an automatic ice cube machine that produces ice cubes from water stored in its reservoir. Users can select from small, medium, or large ice cube sizes. The device features indicators for ice making, an empty water reservoir, a full ice basket, and troubleshooting. It also includes a timer function, allowing users to set specific operating times. The ice-making cycle typically takes between 7 and 15 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature and the selected ice cube size. The machine automatically stops when the ice basket is full or the water reservoir is empty.
Important Technical Specifications
- Item number: 10035712, 10035713
- Power supply: 220-240 V~ 50 Hz
- Power consumption: 105 W
- Climate class: ST/SN/N/T
- Protection class: I
- Refrigerant: R600a/29 g

The device uses isobutane (R600a) as a natural gas refrigerant, which is environmentally friendly and does not deplete the ozone layer or significantly contribute to the greenhouse effect. However, R600a is flammable, so caution is advised regarding its handling and disposal. The appliance should be placed on a stable, level surface, away from heat sources and direct sunlight, with at least 20 cm of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation.
Usage Features
Installation:
- Unpack the appliance and ensure all accessories (ice basket and ice scoop) are present.
- Place the appliance on a stable, level surface to avoid malfunctions.
- Do not incline the ice cube maker more than 45° during transport or use. If it has been moved, allow it to rest for at least 2 hours before plugging it in to allow the liquids in the compressor to settle.
- Ensure the appliance is placed in an adequately ventilated area on a dry and level surface, away from heat sources, stoves, heaters, or corrosive gases. Maintain a minimum distance of 20 cm on all sides for proper ventilation.
- Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water, as this may damage the appliance.
- Do not use the appliance in a very cold environment (lower than 5 °C).
Commissioning and Operation:
- Ensure the drain plug at the bottom of the water reservoir is closed.
- Plug the ice cube maker into the wall outlet. The ice-making indicator will light up solidly.
- Open the top lid and remove the ice basket.
- Fill the water reservoir with drinking water up to the "MAX" water level mark.
- Replace the ice basket and close the top lid.
- Press the ON/OFF button. The ice-making indicator will blink.
- The ice-making cycle takes approximately 7-15 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature and water temperature.
- The ice-making cycle starts with water being pumped into the evaporator. Over the next 7-15 minutes, ice forms on the evaporator. Once this has completed, the ice tray will tilt backward, and the remaining water in the ice tray is drained back into the water reservoir. The ice cubes are then dropped from the evaporator and pushed forward into the ice basket by the ice shovel.
- When the ice basket is full, the ice basket full indicator will light up, and the ice-making cycle will stop automatically. Gently remove the ice from the ice basket with the ice scoop. After 5 seconds, the ice cube maker will restart its ice-making function automatically.
- When the water reservoir is empty, the water reservoir empty indicator will light up, and the ice-making cycle will stop automatically. At this time, remove the ice basket and add water to the water reservoir, then press the ON/OFF button to restart the ice-making cycle.
- To stop the ice-making cycle, press the ON/OFF button.
- To remove ice, open the top lid and take out the ice cubes from the ice basket.
- Wait for the appliance to reach room temperature before storing.
- It is recommended to change the water weekly. If the appliance is not used for a longer period, empty the water reservoir.
Control Panel:
The control panel features several indicators and buttons:
- Ice making indicator: Flashes black when making ice.
- Water reservoir empty indicator: Lights up black when water is low.
- Ice basket full indicator: Lights up black when the ice basket is full.
- Troubleshooting indicator: Lights up in case of a malfunction.
- Timer off/on indicators: Show if the timer is off or on.
- Timing indicator: Shows the timer is active.
- Time display: Digital display for time.
- Small, Medium, Large ice cube indicators: Light up black to show selected ice cube size.
- Timer setting button: To set the timer.
- Timer confirmation button (SET): To confirm timer settings.
- Size selection button (SELECT): To choose ice cube size (small, medium, large).
- ON/OFF button: To start or stop the appliance.
Maintenance Features
Cleaning and Maintenance:
Regular cleaning of the appliance is essential to ensure fresh-tasting ice and prolong the device's lifespan.
- Stop the ice-making cycle by pressing the ON/OFF button and unplugging the ice cube maker from the wall outlet. Allow it to warm up to room temperature.
- If residual water is found in the ice tray, gently push the ice tray back so that all water drains into the water reservoir.
- Move the appliance forward to a position 75 mm from the working table and open the drain plug to drain out excess water.
- Hold and press the ice size selection button (SELECT) and the timer setting button (triangle symbol) for 3.5 seconds after plugging in. Three beeps will sound, and the appliance will enter cleaning mode. The indicators for ice cube size (large, medium, small) and the ice basket full indicator will blink in sequence, and the pump will start to pump water and keep running for 15 minutes. The appliance will then enter standby condition. Open the drain plug and empty the water.
- Clean the ice cube maker interior with a soft cloth soaked with warm water and vinegar, then rinse with clean water and drain all the water.
- Replace the drain plug well in position. Wash the ice basket and ice scoop in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.
- Clean the exterior of the ice cube maker with a soft damp cloth. Use a mild dishwashing soap if necessary.
Important Notes for Cleaning:
- Do not use organic solvent, boiled water, detergent, strong acid, strong alkali, or abrasive cleaners.
- Do not clean the evaporator.
- Empty the water reservoir and dry it for storage if the ice cube maker is not used for a long time.
Troubleshooting:
The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues such as:
- Water reservoir empty indicator lights up: Possible causes include low water level or a blocked water screen. Suggested solutions are to refill the water reservoir, clean the water screen, or contact customer service if the pump malfunctions.
- Ice basket full indicator lights up: Possible causes include a full ice basket or a blocked infrared light. Suggested solutions are to remove ice from the basket, clean the diodes, or contact customer service if the diodes are still not working.
- Troubleshooting indicator lights up: Possible cause is the ice tray not being in the correct position. Suggested solution is to check the ice tray position. If the issue persists, unplug and restart the appliance.
- Ice collects together: Possible causes include ice making taking too long, low water temperature, or high ambient temperature. Suggested solutions are to stop ice production until the ice melts, refill the water tank with water between 8 °C and 25 °C, or use the appliance in an ambient temperature between 10 °C and 32 °C.
- No ice is produced: Possible causes include high ambient or water temperature, a leaking or blocked refrigerant system, or poor heat dissipation. Suggested solutions involve adjusting ambient/water temperature, leaving clearance for ventilation, or contacting customer service for refrigerant issues.
Disposal Considerations:
The appliance must not be disposed of with household waste. It should be taken to a collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. Proper disposal helps protect the environment and human health from negative consequences. For more information, contact local authorities or household waste disposal services.
