Ice cubes are hollow, very thin, or melt quickly in the basket.

Safety first: Turn off and unplug before cleaning internal metal surfaces.

Steps:

• Adjust ice size: If your Bomann model allows, select a larger ice size so the freeze cycle runs longer.
• Clean evaporator: With the unit off, wipe the evaporator fingers/plate with a soft cloth and a mild descaling solution to remove mineral deposits that insulate the surface. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Optimize environment: Move the unit to a cooler room away from heat sources. Ensure good airflow around it.

If cubes remain consistently hollow despite these steps, the refrigeration system may be underperforming and require professional diagnosis.
