Operation

w The IceMaker symbol Fig. 3 (18) shines.

Note

u The IceMaker only produces ice cubes when the drawer is completely closed.

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 production capacity is 90100 ice cubes in 24 hours at a freezing temperature of 0 °F (-18 °C).

To have the maximum capacity of approx. 130 ice cubes in 24 hours, activate the SuperFrost Function. Be aware that this increases the energy consumption because the compressor will run constantly.

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. The IceMaker will not fill the drawer to the top.

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

Particles may accumulate in the IceMaker or water line the first time the appliance is used or after an extended period out of service.

u To achieve this, do not consume or use the ice cubes that are produced within 24 hours.

Fill the water tank

WARNING

Risk of water-borne poisoning

u The water quality must comply with the drinking water directive in force in the country in which the appliance is being operated (e.g. 98/83/EC, NSF 61).

u Fill with potable water only.

u The IceMaker is intended to be used only for making ice cubes in typical household quantities and must be operated with water suitable for this purpose

u If the IceMaker is switched off or is not used for an extended period, drain the water tank.

NOTICE

Risk of damage for the IceMaker

Fluids containing sugar such as soft drinks, fruit juices etc. clog the pump and can cause it to malfunction completely, causing secondary damage to the ice cube maker.

u Only fill the water container with cold drinking water! Never use fluids containing sugar such as soft drinks, fruit juices etc!

Note

Through the use of filtered, decarbonized water, drinking water with the best possible flavor is achieved, and this can be used for problem-free production of ice cubes.

This water quality can be achieved using a table water filter of the kind available in trade retail outlets.

u Always fill water tank with filtered, decarbonised drinking water.

The water supply for the IceMaker comes from a water tank in the chiller compartment (see The appliance at a glance).

Whenever the water tank is empty, the water tank symbol

Fig. 3 (19) lights up.

Before using for the first time

u clean the water tank thoroughly with water to remove dust etc.

Fig. 12

u Pull out water tank forwards.

u Remove cover and fill tank with water.

u Reinstall cover, place the filled water tank in its holder and slide fully backwards.

Note

u The water tank must be slid fully home in its support (console) in the chiller compartment!

Setting the water supply time

The opening time of the valve on the IceMaker can be adjusted to change the size of the ice cubes that are produced.

The water supply time can be set in stages from E1 (short supply time) to E8 (long supply time). The default setting

is E3.
