Ice and water dispenser
The following may be dispensed as necessary:
■
cooled water
■
crushed ice
■
ice cubes
When switching on the appliance, note the
following
The ice and water dispenser only works when the
appliance is connected to the water supply.
After the appliance has been switched on, it will take
24 hours before the first batch of ice cubes are ready.
When the appliance is connected, air bubbles will still
be in the lines.
Extract the drinking water and discard until water can
be dispensed without bubbles. Draw drinking water for
at least 5 minutes and pour away.
When using the ice maker for the first time, discard the
first 30 to 40 ice cubes. Do not use ice cubes for
hygienic reasons.
Operating the ice maker
Once the freezer compartment has reached its freezing
temperature, water flows into the ice maker and freezes
into ice cubes. The ice cubes are automatically
discharged into the ice cube container when they are
ready.
After the appliance is first switched on, it takes roughly
24 hours for the first portion of ice cubes to be
produced.
The sides of the ice cubes may occasionally stick
together. They usually break away from each other as
they move to the dispenser opening.
Ice making switches off automatically when the ice
cube container is full.
The ice maker can make approximately 140 ice cubes
within 24 hours when ice cubes are discharged several
times during the day.
As the ice cubes are being made, the sound of the
buzzing water valve, the water flowing into the ice
storage bin and the falling ice cubes can be heard.
Drinking water quality
All materials used in the water dispenser are odorless
and tasteless.
If the water has an aftertaste, this may be caused by:
■
Mineral and chlorine content in the drinking water
■
Materials from which the domestic water line or
connection line are made
■
Freshness of the drinking water. If water has not
been dispensed for an extended period of time, the
water may have a ”stale” taste. In this case,
dispense approx. 15 glasses of water and discard.
Note:
Rinse the water system that is connected to the water
inlet if no water has been dispensed in the last five
days.
The taste and smell of the water can be improved by
installing the included filter cartridge at the water intake
point.
We recommend that you regularly draw off a certain
amount of water from the water dispenser and do not
switch the appliance off. This will maintain the best
water quality.
