Operating the ice maker
When the freezer compartment has
reached its freezing temperature, water
flows into the ice maker and freezes into
ice cubes. When the ice cubes are
ready, they are automatically discharged
into the ice cube container.
Occasionally the sides of the ice cubes
stick together. When they are conveyed
to the outlet opening, they usually break
away from each other.
When the ice cube container is full, ice
making switches off automatically.
When ice cubes are being made,
the buzzing water valve, the water
flowing into the ice cube tray and
the falling ice cubes can be heard.
All materials used in the drinks
dispenser are odourless and tasteless.
If the ice has an aftertaste, this may be
caused by:
■
Mineral and chlorine content
of the drinking water.
■
Material of the domestic water line
and connection line.
■
Freshness of the drinking water. If ice
has not been dispensed for a long
time, the ice may have a “stale” taste.
In this case remove approx. 30-40 ice
cubes and throw away.
Dispensing ice
Fig. &

The ice maker must be switched on for
several hours before ice can be
dispensed.

button until the required volume has
been dispensed.
Note
Depending on the amount of ice in the
ice cube container, it may take several
seconds until ice is dispensed.
Note
The amount of ice produced can be
increased by setting the lowest possible
temperature in the freezer compartment.
Disconnecting the ice maker
If ice cubes are not to be dispensed for
longer than 1 week (e.g. holiday),
temporarily disconnect the ice maker
to prevent the ice cubes from freezing
together.
To disconnect the ice maker:
1. Press ice dispenser On/Off button 1
for one second. The button light is
switched off when the ice dispenser is
switched off.
2. Remove the ice cube container.

Re-attach the ice cube container.
Ensure that the ice cube container
engages with the support.
