ice crusher manual
"Non usare cubetti “spagnoli”."
This is a specific warning for this ice crusher. It is basically in isolation. There is no other reference. I can't figure out what this type of ice cube is. If there is no term, but someone knows the shape or the particularity of these cubes it would be a great help.

...I didn't know what to insert as a proposal, since "cylindrical cubes" sounds a bit illogical, but... that's it...
Anyway, glad to be helpful

Well... the discussion field has been hidden by moderators, therefore I'll add explanation here for future reference.
Ice cubes are commonly sold in Spain, and their shape is usually cylindrical, so I think the name used here comes from this habit.
