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.
12
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.
Do not place any bottles or food for rapid cooling in the ice cube container. The ice maker may become blocked and be damaged.
When the appliance has been switched on, it takes approx.
24 hours until the first batch of ice cubes are ready.
When ice cubes are being made, the buzzing water valve, the water flowing into the ice cube tray and the falling ice cubes can be heard.
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 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. 15 glasses of water and pour away).
d CAUTION d
The enclosed water filter will filter only particles out of the supply water, not bacteria or microbes.
