Observing Drinking Water Quality
Dispensing Ice/Water
All materials used in the Ice and Water 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 and
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 fill
approximately 15 glasses of water and throw
away.
We recommend that you regularly dispense a little
fresh water from the Water Dispenser and that you do
not switch the appliance Off. This will ensure that
the best water quality is retained.
Taste and odor of the water are improved by
