5.17 IceMaker
The IceMaker is in the fourth drawer from the top. The
drawer is labeled “IceMaker”.
Make sure that the following conditions are fulfilled:
The appliance is level.
The appliance is connected to the electricity supply.
The minimum freezer temperature is 14 °F (-10 °C).
The IceMaker is connected to the water supply.
All air was bled from the waterline before starting the
icemaker. The icemaker will only work if there is no air
in the waterline.
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 90- 100 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 72 hours.
5.17.3 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 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.
u
Clean the IceMaker.
w
This ensures that no water or ice remains in the
IceMaker.
