NOTICE
Risk of damage to the IceMaker! Liquids containing sugar, such as soft drinks, fruit juices or similar, gum up the pump and therefore lead to total pump failure and, as a consequence, to damage to the IceMaker.
Only fill the water tank with drinking water or carbonated
u
drinking water (mineral water, soda)! Do not use liquids containing sugar, such as soft drinks, fruit juices or similar!
Note
The use of filtered, de-carbonated water ensures the supply of drinking water with top quality flavour for problem-free ice cube production. You can achieve this water quality by using a table-top water filter available from specialist shops.
Use only filtered, de-carbonated water to fill the water tank.
u
The IceMaker is supplied with water from a water tank in the refrigerator compartment (see Appliance at a glance).

7 Malfunction

Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life span and reliable operation. If a malfunction nonetheless occurs during operation, check whether it is due to a handling error. In this case you will have to be charged for the costs incurred, even during the warranty period. You may be able to rectify the following faults yourself:
Appliance does not work.

Switch on the appliance.
u
The power plug is not properly inserted in the wall socket.
Check power plug.
u
The fuse of the wall socket is not in order.
Check fuse.
u
The compressor runs for a long time.
The compressor switches to a low speed when little cold is
needed. Although the running time is increased as a result, energy is saved. This is normal in energy-saving models.
u
SuperFrost is activated.
The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool the
u
food. This is normal. SuperCool is activated.
