NOTICE
Risk of damage to the appliance!
Do not place bottles or food in the ice cube

When switching on the appliance, note
the following
The ice and water dispenser only works when the
appliance is connected to the water supply.
After the appliance has been switched on, it will take
24 hours before the first batch of ice cubes are ready.
When the appliance is connected, air bubbles will still
be in the lines.
Extract the drinking water and discard until water can
be dispensed without bubbles. Discard the first five
glasses of water.
When using the ice maker for the first time, discard
the first 30 to 40 ice cubes. Do not use ice cubes for
hygienic reasons.
Operating the ice maker
Once the freezer compartment has reached its
freezing temperature, water flows into the ice maker
and freezes into ice cubes. The ice cubes are
automatically discharged into the ice cube container
when they are ready.
The sides of the ice cubes may occasionally stick
together. They usually break away from each other as
they move to the dispenser opening.
22
Ice making switches off automatically when the ice
cube container is full.
The ice maker can make approximately 100 ice cubes
within 24 hours when ice cubes are discharged
several times during the day.
As the ice cubes are being made, the sound of the
buzzing water valve, the water flowing into the ice
storage bin and the falling ice cubes can be heard.
Drinking water quality
CAUTION
The water filter included with the appliance only
filters out particles from the supplied water and
does not filter out bacteria or microbes.
All materials used in the water dispenser are odorless
and tasteless.
If the water has an aftertaste, this may be caused by:
n
Mineral and chlorine content in the drinking water
Materials from which the domestic water line or
n
connection line are made
Freshness of the drinking water. If water has not
n
been dispensed for an extended period of time, the
water may have a "stale" taste. In this case,
dispense approx. 15 glasses of water and discard.
The taste and smell of the water can be improved by
installing the included filter cartridge at the water
intake point.
Dispensing water
1. Hold an appropriate receptacle under the ice and
water dispenser.
2. Keep the water dispenser button pressed until the
desired amount of water is in the receptacle.
Tip:
The water from the water dispenser is cooled to a
palatable temperature. If you would like colder water,
place ice cubes in the glass before dispensing the
water.
