Ice maker

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.
Removing and cleaning
the ice cube container
If ice cubes have not been dispensed for
a prolonged period, they will shrink, have
a stale taste and stick together.

Remove the ice cube container.

Pull out the container, empty and
clean with lukewarm water.

Thoroughly rub the container and
endless screw transportation
mechanism (Agitation function) dry
so that new ice cubes cannot freeze
to them.

Inserting the ice cube container.
Ice cube production continues.
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.
