Caring for the environment
Pay special attention to correct disposal procedure for all the pack-
aging materials.
The appliance must not be disposed of with urban waste. Contact lo-
cal waste disposal centers for on how to dispose of recyclable waste.
Prior to disposal, cut the power supply cord and make it impossible
to close the door.
During disposal, avoid damage to the refrigeration circuit.
The appliance does not contain hazardous substances for the atmos-
pheric ozone layer, neither in the refrigeration circuit nor in the insulation.
Cleaning, sanitization and maintenance of the ice and/or water dispenser (if present)
Failure to follow the instructions regarding sanitizing can compromise
the hygienic safety of the water dispensed.
When using the appliance for the first time and every time the filter

hours.
1.2
1.3
EnglishFrançais
If the water dispenser has not been used for more than 4/5 days, it is
advisable to clean the circuit and run off the first litre of water.
Reposition the removable water dispenser (if present), ensuring your
hands are hygienically clean.
Clean the ice bucket or drawer regularly but using only drinking
water.
The filter must be changed when indicated on the control panel
or when the ice/water dispenser has not been used for more than 30
days.
With each filter replacement, sanitise the ice and/or water distribution system using a food grade disinfectant (with sodium hypochlorite), which does not alter the characteristics of the materials, or use
the “Sanitising Kit” available from the After-Sales Service. Rinse with at
least 2 litres of water before use.
Only original spare parts supplied by the manufacturer should be

If the ice is not used frequently is advisable to
empty the ice bin 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 dispose of the first full
bin of ice.
If the equipment has been switched off for a
month or more, it is recommended to perform
a water cleaning cycle. (See section 5: Settings and Special Functions).
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 production
may begin. 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.

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 odors, stick together and slowly become smaller.
We recommend that old ice cubes not be 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 spoiled 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 12 months.
When the filter is nearly expired the message “Replace Filter Cartridge”
will appear on the display.
The filter is located inside the refrigerator compartment, above the top
glass panel. Prior to changing 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.
Open 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.
