Switching off the IceMaker*

If ice cubes are not required, the IceMaker can be switched off independently of the freezer compartment.

When the IceMaker is not in operation, clean the IceMaker. This ensures that no water or ice remains in the IceMaker.

When the IceMaker is switched off, the drawer of the IceMaker can also be used for freezing and storing food.

u Press the On/Off button for about 1 second until the LED goes out.

Producing ice cubes*

The production capacity depends on the freezer temperature. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes can be produced in a certain period.

The ice cubes fall out of the IceMaker into the drawer. When the ice cubes reach a certain height in the drawer, no more ice cubes can be produced.

If large quantities of ice cubes are required, the complete IceMaker drawer can be swapped with the neighboring drawer. When you close the drawer, the IceMaker automatically restarts production.

When the IceMaker is switched on for the first time, it may take up to 24 hours for the first ice cubes to be produced.

Note

u Do not consume or use the first three batches of ice cubes. This applies both to using the appliance for the first time and using it when it has not been used for a long time. This ensures that the water pipe is rinsed through.
