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 or 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 dispense approx. one gallon of water and pour away). d CAUTION d The enclosed water filter will filter only particles out of the supply water, not bacteria or microbes. 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. - Check the contents of the freezer for spoilt or outĆofĆdate food. All odorous foods should be wrapped thoroughly or stored in airtight containers to prevent the buildĆup 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 the ice maker As soon as the freezer has cooled down to freezing temperature, the ice cube tray fills with water. Cold air is blown directly over the tray. As soon as they are frozen, the ice cubes fall into the ice cube container. Occasionally the ice cubes stick together. To separate the ice cubes again a metal rod in the ice cube container rotates in periodical cycles (Agitation function). When the ice cube container is full, ice making switches off automatically. The ice maker can make approx. 125 ice cubes within 24 hours. d CAUTION d Do not place any bottles or food for rapid cooling in the ice cube container. The ice maker may become blocked and be damaged. Switching on the ice maker q Make sure that the ice cube container is under the ice maker and has been inserted as far as possible. q Press the ice button on the control panel (if not yet switched on). The ICE symbol is displayed. When the appliance has been switched on, it takes approx. 24 hours until the first batch of ice cubes are ready. Switching off the ice maker i The water supply line must be shut off several hours before the appliance or ice maker is switched off. To switch off the ice maker: q Press the ice button. q Remove the ice cube container, empty and reĆinsert. Ensure that the ice cube container engages with the support.
