7. ACTIVATION AND USE OF THE ICE MAKER
7.1 Activation and use of the Ice Maker
Notes
> If the ice is not used frequently is advisable
to empty the ice bin once every 8-10 days.
It is normal that some ice cubes stick to one
another. If the ice is not frequently used, the
older cubes can become opaque, and will
have a strange flavour and become smaller.
> The Icemaker automatically deactivates if
the Vacation function is activated.
When the Icemaker is started for the first
time, it is recommended to dispose of the first
full bin of ice.
> If the equipment has been switched off for
a month or more, it is recommended to per-
form a water cleaning cycle.
> The ice maker will only produce ice with
the Fresh Zone compartment set to Freezer
Mode.
The ice maker will continue to operate even
when the ice bin is not in position
To activate the Ice Maker after installation of the ap-
pliance, press the Icemaker button .
Please note that 12 to 24 hours are necessary before
ice production may begin.
The production is of 10 cubes per cycle in approx-
imately 10 cycles in 24 hours.
The yield depends on the temperature set in the
freezer, the room temperature and the frequency of
door opening.
If the appliance is operating without being connected
to the water system, make sure that the Icemaker is
deactivated by pressing the button .
The Ice Maker produces ice until the ice tray is full
and will automatically stop once the maximum level
is reached.
With the SuperIce function, it is possible to increase
the quantity of ice produced a 24 hours, while the Set
Cube Size function permits selection of the size of
the produced ice cubes.
Do the ice cubes have an unusual odour?
Ice is a porous material which can absorb odours
from the environment. Ice cubes which have been in
the ice cube container for a long time may absorb
odours, stick together and slowly become smaller.
We recommend that old ice cubes not be used.
Other means of preventing odors:
>
The ice cube container should be cleaned occa-
sionally with warm water. Make sure that you switch
off the ice maker before clearing the container. Rinse
out and wipe dry.
>
Check the contents of the freezer for spoiled or out-
of-date food. All odorous foods should be wrapped
thoroughly or stored in airtight containers to prevent
the build-up of odors.
>
The water filter may have to be replaced in some
models.
>
In some cases the quality of the water connection
in the house should be checked.
Operating noises
Quite normal noises
>
Grumbling: refrigerating unit is running. Fan in the
recirculating air system is running.
>
Bubbling, humming or gurgling noises: refrigerant
is flowing through the tubes.
>
Clicking: motor is switching on or off. Solenoid
valve on the water connection is opening/closing.
>
Rumbling: ice cubes are falling into the ice cube
container.
>
Note:
Notes the appliance is powered by two inde-
pendent compressors. It is therefore normal
to always have one of two compressors in
operation.
Warning
Do not place any bottles or food for rapid
cooling in the ice cube container. The ice
maker may become blocked and be dam-
aged.
7.2 Water Filter
The Water Filter makes available high-quality wa-
ter for the production of ice cubes. It provides up
to 3000 liters of water for a maximum time of 12
months.
Reset water filter in the
settings menu or by pres-
sing the Enter button
for 5 seconds.
