Activation and use of the Ice Maker

7

If the ice is not used frequently is advisable to
empty the ice tray once every 8-10 days.

It is normal that some ice cubes stick to one
another. If the ice is not frequently used, the
older cubes can become opaque, and will
have a strange flavor and become smaller.

The Icemaker automatically deactivates if the
Vacation function is activated.

When the Icemaker is started for the first time,
it is recommended to empty the ice tray, when
full, of the first ice cubes.

If the equipment has been switched off for a
month or more, it is recommended to perform
a water cleaning cycle.

Activation and use of the Ice Maker

To activate the Ice Maker after installation of the appliance, press the
Icemaker button .

Please note that 12 to 24 hours are necessary before ice can be har­vested. The production is of 10 cubes per cycle in approximately 10
cycles in 24 hours.

The yield depends on the temperature set in the freezer, the room
temperature and the frequency of door opening.
If the appliance is operating without being connected to the water
system, make sure that the Icemaker is deactivated by pressing the
button .

The Ice Maker produces ice until the ice tray is full and will automati­cally stop once the maximum level is reached.

With the SuperIce function, it is possible to increase the quantity of ice
produced a 24 hours, while the Set Cube Size function permits selec­tion of the size of the produced ice cubes.

7.1

EnglishFrançais

Do the ice cubes have an unusual odor?

Operating noises

Quite normal noises

The Ice Maker can produce approx. 100 ice cubes within 24 hours.

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. Make sure that you switch off the ice maker before clearing the
container. Rinse out and wipe dry.

Check the contents of the freezer for spoilt or out-of-date food.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.

Grumbling: refrigerating unit is running. Fan in the recirculating air
system is running.

Bubbling, humming or gurgling noises: refrigerant is flowing through
the tubes.

Clicking: motor is switching on or off. Solenoid valve on the water
connection is opening/closing.

Rumbling: ice cubes are falling into the ice cube container.

Note: the appliance is powered by two independent compressors.
It is therefore normal to always have one of two compressors in opera­tion.

Do not place any bottles or food for rapid cool­ing in the ice cube container. The ice maker may
become blocked and be damaged.

Water Filter

Filter Replacement

The Water Filter makes available high-quality water for the production
of ice cubes. It provides up to 3000 liters of water for a maximum time
of six months.

On same models, on the upper right of the control panel it is possible
to monitor the use status of the filter: when the entire area is lighted the

filter has just been replaced; the white lighted area indicates that the
filter capacity is below 20%. When the filter is nearly expired the mes-

sage “Replace Filter Cartridge” will appear on the display.

The filter is located inside the refrigerator compartment, behind the top
glass panel. Prior to change the filter switch off the Ice Maker by press­ing the IceMaker button. Then enter the Fhiaba Access Menu and set
“Manual Clean” function. At the end of the cleaning cycle remove the
water from the ice tray and wipe it dry.
Opemn the top glass panel and carefully rotate the filter cartridge for a
quarter rotation in a counter clockwise direction until it detaches from its
housing. It is normal for a small quantity of water to come out. Remove
the cap of the new cartridge and insert it into the housing by gently ro­tating it for a quarter rotation in a clockwise direction until it locks into
place.

Lighting

To provide optimum interior lighting, LED strips illuminate the refrigera­tor compartment from the top and sets of LED lights directly illuminate
different areas of the refrigerator compartment, of the Crisper-Fresco
drawers and the freezer drawer.

In case of malfunction and/or breaking down of the lighting system,
the repair should be carried out only by a qualified Fhiaba Service
technician.
