■
,
WARNING:
Never reach into the ice cube dispenser
opening! Risk of injury!
,
CAUTION:
Do not place bottles or food in the cube
container in order to cool them quickly. The ice
maker may block and be damaged.

Using the ice and water dispenser

The ice and water dispenser only works when
the appliance is connected to the water mains.
When the appliance has been switched on, it takes
approx. 24 hours until the first batch of ice cubes are
ready.
When the appliance has been connected, there are still
air bubbles in the lines.
Run off drinking water and pour away until water can be
dispensed without bubbles. Pour away the first
5 glasses.
When using the ice maker for the first time, do not use
the first 30-40 ice cubes for reasons of hygiene.

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.
The ice maker can make approx. 100 ice cubes within
24 hours.
Note:
To prevent ice cubes from sticking together, a rotating
metal screw (agitation function) can be switched on for
2 sec. (see chapter "Getting to know your appliance",
"Ice and water dispenser controls").

Observing drinking water quality

All materials used in the drinks dispenser are odorless
and tasteless.
If the water 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 water has not
■
been dispensed for a long time, the water may have
a "stale" taste. In this case fill approx. 15 glasses
of water and throw away.
We recommend that you regularly dispense a little fresh
water from the water maker and that you do not switch
off the appliance. This will ensure that the best water
quality is retained.
Taste and odor of the water are improved by installation
of the enclosed water filter in the water supply.
The enclosed water filter will filter only particles out of
the supply water, not bacteria or microbes.

Dispensing ice/water

Select the ice and water dispenser button (water,
■
crushed ice or ice cubes).
Keep pressing the button until the required quantity
■
is in the glass.
Dispensing water
The water from the water dispenser is cooled
to a palatable temperature. If you would like the water
colder, place ice cubes in the glass before dispensing
the water.
