Ice and water dispenser
(not all models)
The following can be dispensed as required:
■ cooled water,
■ crushed ice,
■ ice cubes.
, WARNING:
Never reach into the ice cube dispenser opening! Risk of injury!
, CAUTION:
Do not place bottles or food in the cube container in order to cool them quickly. The ice maker may block and be damaged.
Using the ice and water dispenser
The ice and water dispenser only works when
the appliance is connected to the water mains.
When the appliance has been switched on, it takes
approx. 24 hours until the first batch of ice cubes are
ready.
When the appliance has been connected, there are still
air bubbles in the lines.
Run off drinking water and pour away until water can be
dispensed without bubbles. Pour away the first
5glasses.
When using the ice maker for the first time, do not use
the first 30-40 ice cubes for reasons of hygiene.
Operating the ice maker
When the freezer compartment has reached its freezing
temperature, water flows into the ice maker and freezes
into ice cubes. When the ice cubes are ready, they are
automatically discharged into the ice cube container.
Occasionally the sides of the ice cubes stick together.
When they are conveyed to the outlet opening, they
usually break away from each other.
When the ice cube container is full, ice making
switches off automatically.
The ice maker can make approx. 100 ice cubes within
24 hours.
Note:
To prevent ice cubes from sticking together, a rotating metal screw (agitation function) can be switched on for 2 sec. (see chapter “Getting to know your appliance”, “Ice and water dispenser controls”).

Observing drinking water quality
All materials used in the drinks 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 approx. 15 glasses
of water and throw away.
We recommend that you regularly dispense a little fresh
water from the water maker and that you do not switch
off the appliance. This will ensure that the best water
quality is retained.
Taste and odor of the water are improved by installation
of the enclosed water filter in the water supply.
The enclosed water filter will filter only particles out of
the supply water, not bacteria or microbes.
Dispensing ice/water
■ Select the ice and water dispenser button (water,
crushed ice or ice cubes).
■ Keep pressing the button until the required quantity
is in the glass.
Dispensing water
Note:
The water from the water dispenser is cooled to a palatable temperature. If you would like the water colder, place ice cubes in the glass before dispensing the water.
Dispensing ice
, CAUTION:
Do not use the ice dispenser for longer than 3 minutes within a time period of 15 minutes. Wait for a few minutes more before ordering more. Risk of damage to the appliance!
en-us
15
Water filter
, WARNING:
Do not use the appliance in places where the water quality is risky or not sufficiently known about without suitable disinfection, before and after filtering.
A filter cartridge for filtering particles can be obtained from customer service or a specialist dealer.
, CAUTION:
■ After installing a new filter, always discard the
ice produced within the first 24 hours after
switching on the ice maker.
■ If the ice has not been used for a prolonged
period, pour all ice cubes out of the container
and also discard the ice produced within the
next 24 hours.
■ If the appliance or the ice has not been used
actively for several weeks or months or if the
ice cubes have an unpleasant taste or odor,
change the water filter.
■ Air trapped in the system may cause water to
escape and the filter cartridge to be ejected.
Caution when removing.
■ The filter must be changed at least every
6months.
Important information concerning the water filter
■ After use, the water system is subject to low
pressure. Be careful when removing the filter!
■ Rinse the water system through if the appliance has
not been used for a long period, or if the water
tastes or smells unpleasant. In addition to this, draw
water from the water dispenser for several minutes. If
the unpleasant taste or smell persists exchange
the filter.
