Abstract

An ice maker adapted to be mounted a refrigeration appliance comprises an ice-making container (14) and an ice-releasing system (18, 18a) for separating the formed ice from the ice-making container. The ice-making container is provided with a substantially water-tight cover (16) for preventing a water spill when ice is not already formed in the ice-making container.
