Activation and use of the Ice Maker
To activate the Ice Maker after installation of the
appliance, press the Icemaker button .
Please note that 12 to 24 hours are necessary before
ice can be harvested.
The production is of 10 cubes per cycle in
approximately 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.
The Ice Maker can produce approx. 100 ice cubes
within 24 hours.
If the ice is not used frequently is advisable to
empty the ice tray 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
flavor 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 empty the ice tray, when
full, of the first ice cubes.
If the equipment has been switched off for a
month or more, it is recommended to perform a
water filter cleaning cycle.
Do the ice cubes have an unusual odor?
Ice is a porous material which can absorb odors
from the environment.
Ice cubes which have been in the ice cube
container for a long time may absorb such odors,
stick together and slowly become smaller.
We recommend that these ice cubes are no longer
used.
Other means of preventing odors:
• The ice cube container should be cleaned
occasionally 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 spoilt 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out-of-date food.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: the appliance is powered by two independent
compressors. It is therefore normal to always have
one of two compressors in operation.
Do not place any bottles or food for rapid
cooling in the ice cube container. The ice maker
may become blocked and be damaged.
