IceMaker

As soon as the freezer has cooled

down to freezing temperature, the

ice cube tray fills with water. Cold air

is blown directly over the tray.
As soon as they are frozen, the ice

cubes fall into the ice cube

container.
When the ice cube container is full,

the ice maker switches off

automatically.
The ice maker can produce approx.

100 ice cubes within 24 hours.

CAUTION

for rapid cooling in the ice cube

container is under the ice maker

and has been inserted as far as

possible.

switched on).

Switching off the ice

maker

i

The water supply line must be

shut off several hours before the

appliance or ice maker is

switched off.

To switch off the ice maker:
q Press the ice button.

Do the ice cubes have

an unusual odor?

Ice is a porous material which can

absorb odors from the environment.

Ice cubes which have been in the ice

cube container for a long time may

absorb such odors, stick together

and slowly become smaller.
We recommend that these ice cubes

are no longer used.
Other means of preventing odors:
- The ice cube container should

be cleaned occasionally with

warm water. Make sure that you

switch off the ice maker before

cleaning the container. Rinse

out and wipe dry.

- Check the contents of the

freezer for spoilt or outĆofĆdate

food. All odorous foods should

be wrapped thoroughly or

stored in airtight containers to

prevent the buildĆup of odors.

- The water filter may have to be

replaced in some models.

- In some cases the quality of the

water connection in the house

should be checked.
