Abstract
Ice cube apparatus for the production of ice cubes, comprising a water reservoir (1) with a filling opening (3), which can be filled with a desired amount of water, an ice-cube tray (10), which is separate from the water reservoir and has at least one mould cavity (11), water-metering means for supplying a metered amount of water from the water reservoir to the mould cavity, at least one thermoelectric element (15) for freezing the amount of water in the mould cavity, control means (21) with a timer unit for providing current to the thermoelectric element for a defined freezing time, in such a manner that this element extracts heat on the side of the ice-cube tray, release means for releasing a frozen ice cube from the ice-cube tray after the cube freezing time, and discharge means for collecting and discharging the ice cube which has been released from the ice-cube tray.
