Exercising with Your Polar Heart Rate Monitor

Regular exercise helps you to sustain and improve your health and fitness, as well as feel better. Exercising has also other great benefits, you can reduce stress, learn to know your body’s reactions and optimise your training time. Whether you are about to start a regular exercise program or you already do sports training, a Polar Heart Rate Monitor will help you to achieve your personal fitness goals in less time, with greater safety.

The effect of your exercise program depends on four factors:

Intensity of exercise
Duration of exercise
Frequency of exercise
Mode of activity

Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been sedentary. To minimise possible risks consider the following advice.

Before beginning a regular exercise program consult your doctor

if you are over 35 years of age
if you have not been following a regular exercise program during the past 5 years
if you smoke
if you have high blood pressure
if you have high blood cholesterol
if you have any signs or symptoms of any disease
if you are recovering from a serious illness or a medical treatment e.g. surgery
if you use a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device.

GENERAL EXERCISE RECOMMENDATION

American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM 1990,1995) defines a recommended exercise dose for developing and maintaining cardiovascular fitness in healthy adults as follows:

Intensity of training: 60-90% of the maximum heart rate

Duration of training: 20-60 minutes of continuous aerobic activity

Frequency of training: 3-5 days a week

Mode of activity: Any mode which uses large muscle groups

INTENSITY OF EXERCISE

Heart rate is proved to be an excellent indicator of exercise intensity. Heart rate tells you the exertion level of your body during physical or mental loading. With the Polar Heart Rate Monitor you are able to follow the intensity of your exercise easily, keep yourself in the right heart rate Target Zone and stay motivated as you see the improvement. Changes in the heart’s beating rate can be followed with a Polar Heart Rate Monitor wirelessly, continuously and ECG accurately.

Define your exercise intensity according to your target. When you exercise within the defined Target Zone, you ensure the right intensity of your workout. Any physical activity that increases heart rate above the resting heart rate may provide health benefits, but only greater increments above resting heart rate are associated with both health and fitness benefits. This is why you should define your personal Target Zone.

If you are a beginner, sedentary or overweight, a recommended target is to exercise at light or light to moderate intensity. At this target, the exercise is easy-paced and causes only slight breathlessness and sweating.

If you aim for improved fitness or exercise for competitive reasons your exercise intensity is moderate or heavy paced, and it causes clear breathlessness and sweating.

However, when planning your personal exercise dose, you can vary the workout intensity e.g. if there is a change in your physical condition or feelings.

Target zones are calculated using the person’s maximum heart rate as a reference. The most reliable way to determine your individual Target Zone is to have your maximum heart rate measured at an exercise stress test. For more information on an exercise stress test, consult your physiologist or doctor.

However, according to ACSM most people can estimate their maximum heart rate by the formula:

220 – Age = Maximum Heart Rate

For example a 35-year old person’s Maximum Heart Rate would be: 220 – 35 = 185 beats per minute

The following Target Range Chart helps you find the right Target Zone for your needs. The percentages for the Target Zones are counted from the maximum heart rate (measured or predicted).

How to find your personal Target Zone ?

If you have had your maximum heart rate measured at an exercise stress test, use the upper axis for measured HR_max. This gives you the precise values for your Target Zone. In case you do not know your exact maximum heart rate, use the lower axis for age.

Locate one of the four intensity targets, which would be most suitable for you. Each target is shaded differently.
Locate your age on the down axis or your measured maximum heart rate on the upper axis.
Read up from your age / read down from your measured maximum heart rate to the target you chose.
Draw a straight line from the upper edge of the target to the left and you will find the Upper Limit of your Target Zone.
Then draw another straight line from the lower edge of the target to the left and you will find the Lower Limit for your Target Zone.
You have now found your Target Zone. As you exercise, make sure that your heart rate stays within your personal Target Zone (between the Lower and the Upper Limit) to get the maximum benefit from your workout.

See the examples above:

A person, whose maximum heart rate has been measured at an exercise stress test. His HR_max is 170 bpm and his goal is to exercise for health at Light to Moderate Intensity. The Target Zone limits are 102-119 bpm.
A person, who does not know his HR_max. He is 35 years old and his goal is to improve fitness at Moderate Intensity. The Target Zone limits are 130 – 157 bpm.

FREQUENCY OF TRAINING

It is recommended that you exercise 3-5 times a week. You can improve your performance by increasing the frequency of training. Remember to let your body recover properly between the training sessions.

MODE OF ACTIVITY

Select activities that you enjoy and vary your exercise modes. To build a solid base for your aerobic conditioning, choose continuous activities such as jogging, running, walking, swimming, bicycling, rowing and cross-country skiing.

To improve your muscular endurance and strength as well as flexibility choose intermittent activities such as tennis, badminton, football, ice hockey, resistance training and gymnastics.

STRUCTURE OF AN EXERCISE SESSION

Begin each workout slowly and give your body a chance to warm up for at least for 5 minutes so that your heart rate is below the selected Target Zone. Gradually increase the intensity of your exercise until you are in your Target Zone.

Remain in your Target Zone for the desired time. After that, gradually reduce the intensity of your exercise and let your heart rate fall below the Target Zone with a 5 minute cooldown period.

For an example of an exercise session for a 35-year-old person with ‘Improved Fitness’ as a target, please see the following chart.

Quick guide for exercising

Before beginning, you should ask yourself two key questions:

What is the amount of my physical activity at the moment?
What are my goals?

The following steps help you answer the two questions, get the most out of your Polar Heart Rate Monitor, and achieve your personal exercise goals.

1. DEFINE THE AMOUNT OF YOUR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

You may have a clear understanding of your present physical condition. In this case you can move to the next step to specify your goals. You can also define the amount of your physical activity by answering the questionnaire which is modified from the “Code for Physical Activity” developed by NASA/Johnson Space Center (Jackson et al. 1990).

The questionnaire is an easy and quick way to define whether you are a beginner, a moderate exerciser, an active exerciser or a serious exerciser. It is recommended to review the questionnaire every 1-2 months and revise if the amount of your physical activity has changed.

Which alternative best describes your general activity level for the previous month?

2. DETERMINE YOUR EXERCISE GOALS

It is easier to stay motivated when you determine your reason for exercising and establish a goal. That is why you should determine your personal goal very clearly. Your exercise goal may be one of these:

Get used to regular physical exercise
Lose weight
Maintain or improve health
Maintain or improve fitness
Compete with yourself
Achieve competitive results

3. EXAMPLES OF EXERCISE RECOMMENDATIONS

Care and Maintenance

Your Polar Heart Rate Monitor is a high-tech instrument of superior design and workmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill the warranty obligations and enjoy this product for many years to come.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR POLAR HEART RATE MONITOR

Wash the Polar Transmitter regularly after use with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse with pure water. Dry carefully after washing.
Never store the Polar Transmitter wet. Sweat and moisture can keep its electrodes wet and the Polar Transmitter activated, which shortens the battery life.
Store your Polar Heart Rate Monitor in a cool and dry place.
Do not bend or stretch the Polar Transmitter. This may damage the electrodes.
Keep your Polar Heart Rate Monitor out of extreme cold (below -10 °C / 14 °F) and heat (above 50 °C / 122 °F).
Do not expose the Polar Heart Rate Monitor to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car.

BATTERIES

POLAR TRANSMITTER

The estimated average battery life of the Polar Transmitter is 2500 hours of use. Contact your distributor/dealer for a Transmitter replacement.

See Service for detailed instructions.

Polar recycles used Transmitters.

POLAR WRIST RECEIVER

The estimated average battery life of the Polar Wrist Receiver is 1 year in normal use (2h/day, 7 days a week). However, because the battery is inserted at the factory, the actual life of your first battery once in your possession may be less than the estimated battery life. Note also that an excessive use of the backlight and the beep signal will shorten the battery life more rapidly.

Do not open the Polar Wrist Receiver yourself. To ensure the water resistance properties and the use of qualified components, the Wrist Receiver battery should be replaced only by a person authorised by Polar Electro Oy. At the same time a full periodic check of the Polar Heart Rate Monitor will be done. Service for detailed instructions.

Precautions

USING A POLAR HEART RATE MONITOR IN A WATER ENVIRONMENT

Polar Fitwatch receiver is water resistant to 20 meters. To maintain the water resistance, do not operate the buttons of the Polar Wrist Receiver under water. The pressure may cause the Receiver to leak.

Heart rate measurement in a water environment is technically demanding for the following reasons:

Pool water with a high chlorine content and seawater may be very conductive and therefore short circuit the ECG signal so that it cannot be detected by the Transmitter unit.
Jumping into the water or strenuous muscle movement during competitive swimming may cause water resistance that shifts the Transmitter on the body to a location where it is not possible to pick up ECG signal.
The ECG signal strength varies depending on the individual’s tissue composition and the percentage of people who have problems in heart rate measuring is considerably higher in a water environment than in other use.

POLAR HEART RATE MONITOR AND INTERFERENCE

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

Disturbances may occur near high voltage power lines, televisions, cars, bike computers, some exercise equipment or cellular phones.

CROSSTALK

The non-coded Polar Wrist Receiver picks up transmitter signals within 1 metre/ 3 feet. Therefore, when you are using your Polar Heart Rate Monitor make sure no other transmitter is within that range. Signals from more than one transmitter picked up simultaneously can cause an incorrect readout.

EXERCISE EQUIPMENT

Several pieces of exercise equipment with electronic or electrical components such as LED displays, motors and electrical brakes may cause interfering stray signals. To try to tackle these problems, relocate the Polar Wrist Receiver as follows:

Remove the Polar Transmitter from your chest and use the exercise equipment as you would normally.
Move the Receiver around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or flashing of the heart symbol. Interference is often worst right in front of the display panel of the equipment, while the left or right side of the display is relatively free of disturbance.
Put the Transmitter back on the chest and keep the Receiver in this interference free area.
If the Polar Heart Rate Monitor still does not work with the exercise equipment, this piece of equipment may be too noisy electrically for wireless heart rate measurement.

Notice for persons with pacemakers

Persons who have a pacemaker use the Polar Heart Rate Monitor at their own risk. Before starting use, we always recommend an exercise test under doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the heart rate monitor.

Exercising with Your Polar Heart Rate Monitor

The effect of your exercise program depends on four factors:

Intensity of exercise
Duration of exercise
Frequency of exercise
Mode of activity

Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been sedentary. To minimise possible risks consider the following advice.

Before beginning a regular exercise program consult your doctor

if you are over 35 years of age
if you have not been following a regular exercise program during the past 5 years
if you smoke
if you have high blood pressure
if you have high blood cholesterol
if you have any signs or symptoms of any disease
if you are recovering from a serious illness or a medical treatment e.g. surgery
if you use a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device.

GENERAL EXERCISE RECOMMENDATION

American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM 1990,1995) defines a recommended exercise dose for developing and maintaining cardiovascular fitness in healthy adults as follows:

INTENSITY OF EXERCISE

If you aim for improved fitness or exercise for competitive reasons your exercise intensity is moderate or heavy paced, and it causes clear breathlessness and sweating.

However, when planning your personal exercise dose, you can vary the workout intensity e.g. if there is a change in your physical condition or feelings.

However, according to ACSM most people can estimate their maximum heart rate by the formula:

220 – Age = Maximum Heart Rate

For example a 35-year old person’s Maximum Heart Rate would be: 220 – 35 = 185 beats per minute

The following Target Range Chart helps you find the right Target Zone for your needs. The percentages for the Target Zones are counted from the maximum heart rate (measured or predicted).

How to find your personal Target Zone ?

If you have had your maximum heart rate measured at an exercise stress test, use the upper axis for measured HR_max. This gives you the precise values for your Target Zone. In case you do not know your exact maximum heart rate, use the lower axis for age.

Locate one of the four intensity targets, which would be most suitable for you. Each target is shaded differently.
Locate your age on the down axis or your measured maximum heart rate on the upper axis.
Read up from your age / read down from your measured maximum heart rate to the target you chose.
Draw a straight line from the upper edge of the target to the left and you will find the Upper Limit of your Target Zone.
Then draw another straight line from the lower edge of the target to the left and you will find the Lower Limit for your Target Zone.
You have now found your Target Zone. As you exercise, make sure that your heart rate stays within your personal Target Zone (between the Lower and the Upper Limit) to get the maximum benefit from your workout.

See the examples above:

A person, whose maximum heart rate has been measured at an exercise stress test. His HR_max is 170 bpm and his goal is to exercise for health at Light to Moderate Intensity. The Target Zone limits are 102-119 bpm.
A person, who does not know his HR_max. He is 35 years old and his goal is to improve fitness at Moderate Intensity. The Target Zone limits are 130 – 157 bpm.

FREQUENCY OF TRAINING

MODE OF ACTIVITY

To improve your muscular endurance and strength as well as flexibility choose intermittent activities such as tennis, badminton, football, ice hockey, resistance training and gymnastics.

STRUCTURE OF AN EXERCISE SESSION

Remain in your Target Zone for the desired time. After that, gradually reduce the intensity of your exercise and let your heart rate fall below the Target Zone with a 5 minute cooldown period.

For an example of an exercise session for a 35-year-old person with ‘Improved Fitness’ as a target, please see the following chart.

1. DEFINE THE AMOUNT OF YOUR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Which alternative best describes your general activity level for the previous month?

2. DETERMINE YOUR EXERCISE GOALS

Get used to regular physical exercise
Lose weight
Maintain or improve health
Maintain or improve fitness
Compete with yourself
Achieve competitive results

3. EXAMPLES OF EXERCISE RECOMMENDATIONS

Care and Maintenance

TAKING CARE OF YOUR POLAR HEART RATE MONITOR

Wash the Polar Transmitter regularly after use with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse with pure water. Dry carefully after washing.
Never store the Polar Transmitter wet. Sweat and moisture can keep its electrodes wet and the Polar Transmitter activated, which shortens the battery life.
Store your Polar Heart Rate Monitor in a cool and dry place.
Do not bend or stretch the Polar Transmitter. This may damage the electrodes.
Keep your Polar Heart Rate Monitor out of extreme cold (below -10 °C / 14 °F) and heat (above 50 °C / 122 °F).
Do not expose the Polar Heart Rate Monitor to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car.

BATTERIES

POLAR TRANSMITTER

The estimated average battery life of the Polar Transmitter is 2500 hours of use. Contact your distributor/dealer for a Transmitter replacement.

Precautions

USING A POLAR HEART RATE MONITOR IN A WATER ENVIRONMENT

Polar Heart Rate Monitors are water resistant to 20 meters. To maintain the water resistance, do not operate the buttons of the Polar Wrist Receiver under water. The pressure may cause the Receiver to leak.

Heart rate measurement in a water environment is technically demanding for the following reasons:

Pool water with a high chlorine content and seawater may be very conductive and therefore short circuit the ECG signal so that it cannot be detected by the Transmitter unit.
Jumping into the water or strenuous muscle movement during competitive swimming may cause water resistance that shifts the Transmitter on the body to a location where it is not possible to pick up ECG signal.
The ECG signal strength varies depending on the individual’s tissue composition and the percentage of people who have problems in heart rate measuring is considerably higher in a water environment than in other use.

POLAR HEART RATE MONITOR AND INTERFERENCE

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

Disturbances may occur near high voltage power lines, televisions, cars, bike computers, some exercise equipment or cellular phones.

CROSSTALK

EXERCISE EQUIPMENT

Remove the Polar Transmitter from your chest and use the exercise equipment as you would normally.
Move the Receiver around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or flashing of the heart symbol. Interference is often worst right in front of the display panel of the equipment, while the left or right side of the display is relatively free of disturbance.
Put the Transmitter back on the chest and keep the Receiver in this interference free area.
If the Polar Heart Rate Monitor still does not work with the exercise equipment, this piece of equipment may be too noisy electrically for wireless heart rate measurement.

This user manual contains instructions to the Polar H10 heart rate sensor. The latest version of this user manual and video tutorials can be found at support.polar.com/en/H10_heart_rate_sensor.

HEART RATE SENSOR PARTS

The plastic electrode areas on the reverse side of the strap detect heart rate
The connector sends the heart rate signal to the receiving device.

The polar H10 heart rate sensor enables training in a group without interference from other heart rate sensors.

WEARING THE HEART RATE SENSOR

Moisten the electrode area of the strap.
Fasten the strap around your chest and adjust the strap to fit snugly.
Attach the connector.

Detach the connector from the strap and rinse the strap under running water after every use. Sweat and moisture may keep the electrodes wet and the heart rate sensor activated. This will reduce the transmitter’s battery life. See detailed washing instructions in the Caring for Your Heart Rate Sensor section or at support.polar.com.

GETTING STARTED

The polar H10 heart rate sensor is compatible with Bluetooth® smart-ready devices that support heart rate service. A separate application is required to view heart rate data on the receiving device (for example, a smartphone). It is recommended to use the Polar Beat application but it is also possible to use other applications. If you have a Polar Flow account Polar Beat automatically synchronizes your training files to it. Please note that you must sign in to your Polar Flow account when starting Polar Beat for the synchronization to work. When using the Polar H10 for the first time, you need to pair the heart rate sensor with your receiving device. For more information on pairing, see the mobile application manufacturer’s instructions. The polar H10 heart rate sensor is also compatible with Polar training computers using GymLink technology. For more information, go to support.polar.com.To ensure sufficient transmission range from your Polar H10 heart rate sensor to the receiving device, keep the device in front of you. A good place is in a front pocket or fixed on a belt. Do not wear the receiving device on your back (for example, in a back pocket or backpack).

PAIRING WITH POLAR BEAT

The heart rate sensor needs to be paired directly in the Polar Beat app. To pair a heart rate sensor with Polar Beat:

Wear the sensor.
Open the Polar Beat app on your Android or iOS device.
Go to the settings section of the app and find the HR sensor. When your sensor is found, tap PAIR.

SENSOR MEMORY
H10 has an internal memory that can store the heart rate data of one training session. You start the session in the Polar Beat mobile app and it also transfers the data from the sensor after the training. It’s especially handy in sports where you can’t have your mobile or wrist unit with you.
To use it:

Wear your sensor.
Open Polar Beat app on the mobile you have paired your sensor with.
Select your sport profile, tap three dots on the top right corner, Save HR with the sensor, and Start
After your training session, you can stop the recording either by tapping the stop button on the display or removing the connector from its strap.

When you come back into the Bluetooth range of your mobile, Beat will automatically offer to download your finished training session from the sensor memory and sync your Flow diary. If you have removed the connector from the strap. attach it back to its strap and wear the sensor around your chest to ensure a successful connection to the Beat and smooth data transfer.

USING YOUR HEART RATE SENSOR IN WATER

Polar H10 heart rate sensor is water resistant. The GymLink technology can be used in water activities, but Bluetooth® wireless technology will not work in water. You can still record your heart rate from your swim and transfer the data afterward to Polar Beat, the mobile app. Please notice that sea and pool water are very conductive, and electrodes may short-circuit, preventing ECG signals from being detected by the heart rate sensor. When using a bathing suit, the best performance is achieved by wearing the heart rate sensor underneath it.

FIRMWARE UPDATE
With the Polar H10 heart rate sensor, we’ll be able to bring updates to your sensor to improve it or even bring new functionalities to it. You’ll be able to update the firmware via the Polar Beat or Polar Flow mobile app. To receive the firmware updates, your H10 heart rate sensor needs to be paired with the Polar Beat or Polar Flow app, Android or iOS. The app will let you know if there’s an update available and will guide you through it. Sensor pairing is needed after update/battery replacement, if you use H10 with Polar A360, M400, A300, M450, V650, M200, M600 or 3rd party app/device. See instructions.

CARING FOR YOUR HEART RATE SENSOR

The heart rate sensor is a high-tech instrument that should be handled with care. Follow the caring instructions to ensure reliable measurement and to maximize the life span of the heart rate sensor. The following instructions will help you fulfill guarantee obligations. Connector: Detach the connector from the strap after every use and dry the connector with a soft towel. Clean the connection with a mild soap and water solution when needed. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material (e.g. steel wool or cleaning chemicals).

Strap: Rinse the strap under running water after every use and hang to dry. Clean the strap gently with a mild soap and water solution when needed. Do not use moisturizing soaps, because they can leave residue on the strap. Do not soak, iron, dry clean or bleach the strap. Do not stretch the strap or bend the electrode areas sharply. Dry and store the strap and the connector separately to maximize the heart rate sensor battery lifetime. Keep the heart rate sensor in a cool and dry place. Do not store the heart rate sensor wet in non-breathing material, such as a sports bag, to prevent snap oxidation. Do not expose the heart rate sensor to direct sunlight for extended periods. Check the label on your strap to see if it is machine washable. Never put the strap or the connector in a dryer!

BATTERIES

The battery level of your heart rate sensor is displayed on the receiving device. All connectors have user-changeable batteries. To change the battery yourself, follow the instructions below.

Lever the battery cover open by using a small flat-headed tool.
Remove the old battery from the battery cover.
Insert the new battery (CR2025) inside the cover with the negative (-) side outwards.
Align the ledge on the battery cover with the slot on the connector and press the battery cover back into place. You should hear a snap.

Sensor pairing is needed after update/battery replacement, if you use H10 with Polar A360, M400, A300, M450, V650, M200, M600 or 3rd party app/device. See instructions.
When changing the battery, make sure the sealing ring is not damaged, in which case you should replace it with a new one. You can purchase the sealing ring/battery kits at well-equipped Polar retailers and authorized Polar Services. In the USA and Canada, additional sealing rings are available at authorized Polar Service Centers. In the USA the sealing ring/battery kits are also available at www.shoppolar.com.

Making Ice

Note: Before using it for the first time, clean the water tank, ice basket, and ice basket shelf. Use the first 3 ice-making cycles to flush out the system. Discard the water and ice created from the first 3 cycles.
Each time the appliance is refilled, the first ice-making cycle is used to reduce the water temperature. This results in uneven ice cube production which is perfectly normal. You may wish to discard ice created in the first production cycle.

Lift the access lid and fill the water tank up the level of the ice basket shelf.
Connect the appliance to the power and press the START button.
Press the SELECT button repeatedly to scroll through the ice cube sizes. Stop when the required size is illuminated.
Note: Each ice-making cycle takes between 6-12 minutes, depending on the size of the cube selected.
The appliance will run a start-up routine and then begin ice production.
Note: If the water level is too low, the Water Low indicator lights up and the appliance stops working. Fill the water tank and the appliance will restart automatically.
When the cubes reach the ice sensor the appliance will stop production. Production resumes once ice has been removed.
Press the STOP button at any time to halt the ice-making process.

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 in the pump inlet at the bottom of the water tank, remove by pulling out with fingers.
If the appliance is to be left unused for longer than 24 hours, loosen the drain screw and drain the water from the tank.
The inner removable parts and water tank should be cleaned regularly.

Installation

Note: If the unit has not been stored or moved in an upright position, let it stand upright for approximately 12 hours before the operation. If in doubt allow standing.

Remove the appliance from the packaging and remove the protective film from all surfaces.
When positioning the ice maker, maintain a distance of 10cm between the appliance and walls or other objects for ventilation. NEVER LOCATE NEXT TO OR NEAR A HEAT SOURCE.
If necessary, adjust the screw legs of the ice maker to make it level. The efficiency of the ice maker can be reduced if the appliance is unevenly located.

Operation

Control Panel

Making Ice
Note: Before using it for the first time, clean the water tank, ice basket, and ice basket shelf. Use the first 3 ice-making cycles to flush out the system. Discard the water and ice created from the first 3 cycles.

Each time the appliance is refilled, the first ice-making cycle is used to reduce the water temperature. This results in uneven ice cube production which is perfectly normal. You may wish to discard ice created in the first two production cycles.

Lift the access lid and fill the water tank up the level of the ice basket shelf.
Connect the appliance to the power and press the START button.
Press the HAND button repeatedly to scroll through the ice cube sizes. Stop when the required size is illuminated.
Note: The ice-making cycle takes between 6-12 minutes, depending on the size of the cube selected. Larger cubes will take longer to produce.
The appliance will run a startup routine and then begin ice production.
Note: If the water level is too low, the Water Low indicator lights up and the appliance stops working. Fill the water tank and the appliance will restart automatically.
When the cubes reach the ice sensor the appliance will stop production. Production resumes once ice has been removed.
Press the STOP button at any time to halt the ice-making process.

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 in the pump inlet at the bottom of the water tank, remove by pulling out with fingers.
If the appliance is to be left unused for longer than 24 hours, loosen the drain screw and drain the water from the tank.
The inner removable parts and water tank should be cleaned regularly.

Descaling

In hard water areas, limescale can build up within the appliance after prolonged use. To de-scale the appliance:

Switch off and disconnect the power supply.
Remove the ice basket and water filter for cleaning.
Add dilute cleaner into the water tank. (Note: Choose ice maker-specific cleaner and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.)
Clean the water box, evaporator (metal), and water tank with a soft brush.

Loosen the drain screw to drain the solution.
Flush out the system thoroughly with clean water to remove any cleaner residue.
Re-locate all removable parts.

Note: After descaling, use the first 3 ice-making cycles to flush out the system. Discard the water and ice created from these initial cycles. POLAR recommend this appliance is descaled monthly or more frequently in hard water area.
