Icemaker; Operating Noises - Thermador T36BT Série Guide D'utilisation

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,
ice making switches off
automatically.
The ice maker can make approx.
100 ice cubes within 24 hours.
CAUTION
Do not place any bottles or food
for rapid cooling in the ice cube
container. The ice maker may
become blocked and be
damaged.
Switching on the ice
maker
Make sure that the ice cube
container is under the ice maker
and has been inserted as far as
possible.
Press the ICE button on the
control panel (if not yet switched
on).

Switching off the ice
maker
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:
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for spoilt or out-of-date food. All
odorous foods should be
wrapped thoroughly or stored in
airtight containers to prevent the
build-up 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.
