Ice maker
9 CAUTION
DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE! Never store bottles or food in the ice cube
container, even for short periods. This can block and damage the ice maker.
Ice cube production starts as soon as the appliance has reached the set temperature.
Notes
Discard the first 30-40 ice cubes for hygiene
reasons.
Ice cube production stops automatically when the
ice cube container is full.
Information about switching ice cube production on and off
~ "Switching ice cube production on or off" on page 13
Ice pack
In the event of a power failure or a fault:
The ice pack delays the warming of stored frozen
food.
Exchange water filter or replace with bypass cartridge
You can change the water filter, or replace it with a bypass cartridge. The bypass cartridge can remain in the appliance permanently: it does not need to be changed.
Note: After installing a water filter or a bypass cartridge, discard all ice cubes produced over the first 24 hours.
1. Turn the cap of the water filter counter-clockwise.
2. Take the water filter out.
3. Remove the protective cap of the new water filter
or the new bypass cartridge.
4. Take off the cap of the used water filter and put it
on the new water filter or bypass cartridge.
5. Slide the new water filter or bypass cartridge to
the stop in the filter opening.
Note: The cap must be horizontal here.
6. Turn the water filter or bypass cartridge clockwise
to the mark.
Note: If you do not turn the water filter or bypass
cartridge far enough, damage will be caused by escaping water.
Note: The longest storage time is obtained by placing the ice pack on the food in the top compartment.
You can take out the ice pack to temporarily keep food cool, e.g. in a cool bag.
Water filter
Change the water filter after 6 months at the latest. If the ice tastes stale, discard the rest of the ice
cubes and the ones produced over the next 24 hours. If the ice still tastes stale, change the water filter.
Note: You can also use the appliance without a water filter. Replace the water filter with a bypass cartridge. Switch off the water filter counter. There is no need to change the bypass cartridge.
A new water filter or bypass cartridge can be obtained from customer service or a specialist dealer.
7. When installing a water filter: reset water filter
counter.
When installing a bypass cartridge: switch off water filter counter.
8. Discard ice cubes produced over the first
24 hours.

WFreezer compartment
Freez er compar t ment
The freezer compartment is suitable for:
storing frozen food
making ice cubes
freezing food
The temperature can be set from -11 °F (­24 °C)... +7 °F (-14 °C).
The freezer compartment can be used to store perishable foods long-term almost without any noticeable reduction in quality, as the low temperatures considerably slow down or stop deterioration. Appearance, flavor and all valuable ingredients are largely retained.
The time between putting fresh food in the freezer compartment and it freezing solid depends on the following factors:
temperature set
type of food
amount of food in the freezer compartment
quantity and type of storage
Fully utilizing the freezer volume
Freezing fresh food
Freeze only fresh and undamaged food. Food which is boiled, fried or baked is more suitable
for freezing than food which is eaten raw.
Before freezing food, make preparations appropriate to the food in order to retain the best possible nutritional value, flavor and color:
Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.
Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add
sugar or ascorbic acid solution.
Information on how to do this can be found in relevant literature.
Suitable for freezing
Baked goods
Fish and seafood
Meat
Poultry and game
Vegetables, fruit and herbs
Eggs without shells
Dairy products, e.g. cheese, butter and quark
Ready meals and leftovers, e.g. soups, stews,
cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and
desserts
To place the maximum quantity of frozen food in the freezer compartment:
Remove all fittings.
Store food directly on the shelves and on the floor
of the freezer compartment.

1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Pack food airtight to prevent it from losing flavor
or drying out.
4. Label packaging with contents and date of
freezing.
Suitable packaging:
