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 con
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 dis
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.
Observing drinking water
quality
All materials used in the drinks dispenser
are odourless and tasteless.
If the water has an aftertaste, this may
be caused by:
- Mineral and chlorine content of the
drinking water.
- Material of the domestic water line or
connection line.
- Freshness of the drinking water.
If water has not been dispensed for
a long time, the water may have
a stale" taste. In this case dispense
approx. 15 glasses of water and
pour away.
Taste and odour of the water may be
improved by installing the enclosed
water filter in the water supply.
The enclosed water filter will filter only
particles out of the supply water, not
bacteria or microbes.
