Ice and waterdispenserThe following can be dispensed asrequired:

� Chilled water,

� Crushed ice,

� Ice cubes.

! Warning

Risk of injuries due to rotating crusherblades!

Do not reach into the ice cubedispenser opening.

Note the following whenplacing the appliance intooperation

The ice and water dispenser onlyworks if the appliance is connected tothe water supply.

After placing the appliance intooperation, you must wait around24 hours before the first lot of icecubes is ready.

After the connections are made, airbubbles are still in the lines.Draw and discard drinking water untilthe water can be drawn withoutbubbles. Throw away the first fiveglasses of water.

When using the ice maker for the firsttime, throw away the first 30 to 40 icecubes for hygiene reasons.

Notes on using the applianceWhen the freezer compartment hasreached its freezing temperature,water flows into the ice maker andfreezes to form ice cubes. Thefinished ice cubes are automaticallydischarged into the ice cubecontainer.

Occasionally, the ice cubes sticktogether. During transport to theopening where they are discharged,they usually separate automatically.

Once the ice cube container is full,the ice maker switches offautomatically.

The ice maker can produce up to 100ice cubes in 24 hours assuming thatice cubes are removed several timesa day. The quantity produceddepends on the room temperatureand the appliance's temperaturesetting.

When ice is being produced, you canhear the water valve, the sound of thewater flowing into the ice bowl, andthe sound of the ice cubes fallingdown once they have been produced.

Information!

Do not put bottles or food for fastcooling into the ice cube container.The ice maker can become blockedand damaged.

Pay attention to the quality ofthe drinking waterCaution!

The supplied water filter only filters outparticles from the supplied water, anddoes not filter out bacteria ormicrobes.

All materials used in the waterdispenser are odourless andtasteless.

If the water has an aftertaste, it maybe for the following reasons:

� Mineral and chlorine content of thedrinking water,

� Material of household piping orconnection line,

� Freshness of drinking water. If nowater is drawn for a long time, thewater can taste somewhat stale. Ifthis happens, draw and discardaround 15 glasses of water.

The taste and smell of the water canbe improved by the installation of thesupplied water filter in the water inlet.

To dispense water1. Hold a suitable container under the

ice and water dispenser.

2. Press the water dispenser buttonuntil the required quantity of wateris in the container.

Tip:

The water from the water dispenser iscooled to the proper temperature fordrinking. If colder water is desired,place ice cubes in your glass beforedrawing the water.
