Producing ice cubes

• The production capacity depends on the freezer temperature. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes can be produced in a specific period.
• The ice cubes drop from the IceMaker into the drawer. When a certain filling level has been reached, no further ice cubes are produced. The IceMaker does not fill the drawer right up to the brim.
• Distribute the ice cubes evenly in the drawer to increase the capacity.
• If large quantities of ice cubes are needed, the complete IceMaker drawer can be exchanged for the adjacent drawer. When the drawer is closed, the IceMaker automatically re-commences production.
• Once the IceMaker has been switched on for the first time, it may take up to 24 hours until the first ice cubes are produced.

Note

• When the appliance is used for the first time and if it has been out of use for a long time, particles may collect in the IceMaker and/or water conduit.
• Do not use or consume ice cubes that have been made 24 hours after the first ice cubes are made

Malfunctions
Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life span and reliable operation. If a malfunction nonetheless occurs during operation, check whether it is due to a handling
error. In this case you will have to be charged for the costs incurred, even during the warranty period. You may be able to rectify the following faults yourself:

• Appliance does not work.
  • The appliance is not switched on.
• Switching on the appliance.
  • The power plug is not properly inserted in the wall socket.
• Check power plug.
  • The fuse of the wall socket is not in order.
• Check fuse.
• The compressor runs for a long time.
  • The compressor switches to a low speed when little cold is needed. Although the running time is increased as a result, energy is saved.
• This is normal in energy-saving models.
