Use and Care

To activate the Ice Maker after installation of the appliance, press the ice maker button.
Please note that 12 to 24 hours are necessary before ice production may begin. The
production is of 10 cubes per cycle in approximately 10 cycles in 24 hours.
The yield depends on the temperature set in the freezer, the room temperature and the
frequency of door opening. If the appliance is operating without being connected to the water
system, make sure that the ice maker is deactivated by pressing the button.
The Ice Maker produces ice until the ice tray is full and will automatically stop once the
maximum level is reached.
With the Fast Ice function, it is possible to increase the quantity of ice produced in 24 hours,
while the Set Cube Size function permits selection of the size of the produced ice cubes.
At factory default settings the ice maker can produce approx. 100 ice cubes within 24 hours.
Ice is a porous material which can absorb odors from the environment.
Ice cubes which have been in the ice cube container for a long time
may absorb odors, stick together and slowly become smaller.
We recommend that old ice cubes not be used.
Other means of preventing odors:
The ice cube container should be cleaned occasionally with warm
water. Make sure that you switch off the ice maker before clearing the
container. Rinse out and wipe dry.
Check the contents of the freezer for spoiled or out-of-date food.
All odorous foods should be wrapped thoroughly or stored in airtight
containers to prevent the build-up of odors.
The water lter may have to be replaced in some models.
In some cases the quality of the water connection in the house
should be checked.
Grumbling: refrigerating unit is running. Fan in the recirculating air
system is running.
Bubbling, humming or gurgling noises: refrigerant is owing through
the water line.
Clicking: motor is switching on or off. Solenoid valve on the water
connection is opening/closing.
Rumbling: ice cubes are falling into the ice cube container.
Note: the appliance is powered by two independent compressors.
It is therefore normal to always have one of two compressors in
operation.
Do the ice cubes have
an unusual odor?
Operating noises
Quite normal noises
Do not place any bottles or food for rapid cooling in the ice cube
container. The ice maker may become blocked and be damaged.

ACTIVATION AND USE OF THE ICE MAKER
If the ice is not used frequently is advisable to empty the ice bin once
every 8-10 days.
It is normal that some ice cubes stick to one another. If the ice is
not frequently used, the older cubes can become opaque, will have
an off avor and become smaller.
The Icemaker automatically deactivates if and when the Holiday
function is activated.
When the Icemaker is started for the rst time, it is recommended
to dispose of the rst full bin of ice.
If the equipment has been switched off for a month or more, it is
recommended to perform a water cleaning cycle.
The ice maker will only produce ice with the Fresh Zone compartment
set to Freezer Mode. The ice maker will continue to operate even when
the ice bin is not in position.
