5.4.1 Installing the ice tray and buffer tray
• A lever (2), which needs to be pushed forward,
is located on the underside of the ice tray (1).
• Now push the tray onto the dovetail holder (3)
from the front. Clamp it down by pushing the
lever (2, Fig. 28) towards the rear.
The ice tray can be placed on the stage
separately for preparation.
• Push the buffer tray (5) in as far as it will go
(small pins (4) guide it at the side and front).
It is held in place by three strong magnets,
which are integrated into the bottom of the
buffer tray.

• Cover the buffer tray (5) with a Plexiglas lid (6).
• Now fill the ice tray with crushed ice.
• Cover the buffer tray and fill it with cooled
buffer solution.
To remove the buffer tray from the ice
tray, pull on the rounded edges carefully
(7). They help to remove the tray, as they
are not magnetic.
