Ice Mode
The function is activated when the symbol is lit.
Press the ice mode button to select the symbol
corresponding to the type of ice required (cubes or
crushed); the symbol will light up.
Note:
If the freezer compartment door is open,
make sure the lever located inside is not blocked,
since it prevents the transfer of ice from the
automatic ice-maker to the container installed in
the door.
Normal ice production should be about 7 to 8
batches of ice in a 24-hour period.
To dispense ice:
1. press the ice mode button and select the
required type of ice.
2. press a rigid glass against the ice dispenser lever.
Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so
that ice does not fall outside of the glass
3. press lightly on the lever to activate the ice
dispenser. Pressing hard will not result in faster
dispensing or greater quantities
4. to stop dispensing, remove the glass slowly so
that ice does not fall outside the glass
5. do not use fragile glasses to dispense ice.
Water dispensing
When the ice and water dispenser is used for the
first time, the first ice cubes and water coming out
of the dispenser may have an unpleasant taste and
should therefore be discarded. It is advisable to
repeat the operation also when the dispenser has
not been used for some time.
To dispense water press a glass against the water
dispenser lever, removing the glass to stop
dispensing; at the same time the light inside the
dispenser comes on, and goes off when the lever is
released.
It is not necessary to press hard on the levers to
activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will not result
in faster dispensing or greater quantities.
Wait a few seconds before removing the glass, in
order to catch the last few drops of water or
pieces of ice.
The water and ice dispenser will not work when
the freezer compartment door is open.
The ice comes from the automatic ice-maker
container in the freezer compartment.

Advice on using the automatic ice-maker
If the freezer compartment door is open, make
sure to keep the inside flap free, since it serves as a
sensor for stopping the transfer of ice from the
automatic ice-maker, to the bucket located in the
inner door.
To remove and refit the ice bucket:
1. insert four fingers in the opening at the bottom
of the bucket and place your thumb on the
release button
2. holding the base of the bucket with both hands,
press the release button and lift the bucket up
and out. It is not necessary to turn the
automatic ice-maker control to the OFF
position: the automatic ice-maker will not
produce ice if the bucket is not installed in the
door.
3. Normal automatic ice production consists of
about 7 to 9 batches of ice cubes in a 24-hour
period.
IMPORTANT:
•
Large amounts of ice cubes should be taken
directly from the bucket, and not from the
dispenser
•
When selecting crushed ice, the cubes are
crushed just before being dispensed, therefore
the crushed ice may come out with a slight
delay. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and
pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing
from crushed ice to ice cubes, a small amount
of crushed ice may come out together with the
first cubes.After switching on the refrigerator, it
usually takes overnight for the first ice cubes to
form.
•
When using the water dispenser, keep the rim
of the glass near. Move the glass slowly to
prevent the water from spilling.
