Operating The Ice Maker - Siemens S18ID Serie Instrucciones Para La Operación Y Cuidado

Drinking water quality
All materials used in the drinks
dispenser are odourless 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 or 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
dispense approx. one gallon of
water and pour away).
CAUTION
The enclosed water filter will filter
only particles out of the supply
water, not bacteria or microbes.
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.
– 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for spoilt or out-of-date food.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.

Operating the 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.
Occasionally the ice cubes stick
together. To separate the ice cubes
again a metal rod in the ice cube
container rotates in periodical cycles
(Agitation function).
When the ice cube container is full,
ice making switches off
automatically.
The ice maker can make approx.
125 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).
The ICE symbol is displayed.
When the appliance has been
switched on, it takes approx.
24 hours until the first batch of
ice cubes are ready.
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.
Remove the ice cube container,
