5.4.10 IceMaker*
The IceMaker and the water reservoir situated in the refrigerator
compartment can be used to produce ice cubes or to provide
chilled drinking water.
The IceMaker is in the top drawer of the freezer compartment.
The drawer is marked "IceMaker".
Make certain that the following conditions are met:
-The appliance is level.
-The appliance is connected.
-The freezer compartment is switched on.
-The water tank was cleaned with water and is filled.
Filling the water tank*
WARNING
Risk of poisoning!
uThe water quality has to comply with the drinking water ordi-
nance of the respective country (e.g. 98/8
uThe IceMaker serves exclusively for making ice cubes in
household quantities and has to be operated with water suit-
able for the purpose.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the IceMaker!
Liquids containing sugar, such as soft drinks, fruit juices or
similar, gum up the pump and therefore lead to total pump failure
and, as a consequence, to damage to the IceMaker.
uFill the water reservoir with drinking water only! Do not use any
liquids containing sugar, such as soft drinks, fruit juices or
similar!
The IceMaker is supplied with water from a water tank in the
refrigerator compartment (see Appliance at a glance).
Before initial operation:
uclean the water tank thoroughly with water to remove any dust
etc.
uPull the water tank forwards.
uOpen the front flap and fill the
tank with water.
uPlace the filled water tank in
the holder and slide it all the
way back.
Note
uThe water reservoir has to be slid all the way into the bracket
provided for the purpose in the refrigerator compartment!
Switching on the IceMaker*
Fig. 12
uPull out the drawer.
uPress the On/Off button
Fig. 12 (1)
so that the LED
Fig. 12 (2)
shines.
uPush in the drawer.
Note
uThe IceMaker produces ice cubes only if the drawer is fully
closed.
Switching off the IceMaker*
If no ice cubes are needed, the IceMaker can be switched off
independently of the freezer compartment.
When the IceMaker is switched off, the IceMaker drawer can also
be used for freezing and storing food.
uPress the On/Off button for about 1 second until the LED goes
out.
uClean the IceMaker.
wThis ensures that no water or ice remains in the IceMaker.
Producing ice cubes*
The production capacity depends on the freezer temperature.
The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes can be produced
in a specific period.
The ice cubes drop from the IceMaker into the drawer. When a
certain filling level has been reached, no further ice cubes are
produced. The IceMaker does not fill the drawer right up to the
brim.
If large quantities of ice cubes are needed, the complete
IceMaker drawer can be exchanged for the adjacent drawer.
When the drawer is closed, the IceMaker automatically re-
commences production.
Once the IceMaker has been switched on for the first time, it may
take up to 24 hours until the first ice cubes are produced.
Note
When the appliance is used for the first time or if has not been
used for a long time, the IceMaker has to be rinsed to remove any
particles present.
uTherefore do not use or consume the ice cubes made in the
first 24 hours.
