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 conĆ

nected, 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 5 glasses.
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 disĆ

charged 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.

140 ice cubes within 24 hours.
When ice cubes are being made, the

buzzing water valve, the water flowing

into the ice cube tray and the falling ice

cubes can be heard.
