Warning
Never reach into the ice cube dispenser opening! Risk
of injury!

Caution
Do not place bottles or food in the cube container
in order to cool them quickly. The ice maker may block
and be damaged.
* Not all models.
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 connected, 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
As soon as the freezer compartment has reached its
freezing temperature, ice cube production starts. After
2–3 hours the ready ice cubes are automatically
discharged into the ice cube container.
Note
The appliance produces more ice if you lower the
freezer compartment temperature. This will slightly
increase the energy consumption of your appliance.
Occasionally ice cubes will freeze together and block
the dispenser:
1. Open the door and check inside whether ice cubes
are sticking to the ice and water dispenser.
2. If the ice and water dispenser is not blocked:

Caution
A full ice cube container is heavy!
Carefully pull out ice cube container and remove ice
■
cubes which are frozen together.
When the ice cube container is full, ice making
switches off automatically.
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 and 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 fill approx. 15 glasses
of water and throw away.
We recommend that you regularly dispense a little
fresh water from the water maker and that you do not
switch off the appliance. This will ensure that the best
water quality is retained.
The enclosed water filter will filter only particles out
of the supply water, not bacteria or microbes.
