Ice cube maker For the automatic ice cube maker to operate, it must be connected to the household water supply. See "Plumbing". Turning on the ice cube maker ^ Make sure that the ice cube container is under the ice cube maker, as far as possible. Ice cubes will not be produced unless the container is completely closed. ^ Touch the sensor button for the ice cube maker so that it turns yellow. Once the ice cube container is full, the ice cube maker switches off automatically. Do not use the ice cube container for rapid cooling of food or drinks. The ice cube maker may become blocked and be damaged. Do not use the first three containers of ice cubes from the ice cube maker. Discard the ice produced in the first 24 hours after switching on the ice cube maker. This applies for the very first use, and whenever the appliance has been out of service for an extended period of time. As soon as the freezer has cooled to a freezing temperature, the ice cube container fills with water. Cold air is blown directly over the container. As soon as the ice cubes are frozen, they fall into the ice cube container. The ice cube maker can produce approx. 140 ice cubes within 24 hours. Note: Ice production will vary due to your water source temperature, pressure and hardness. The production volume of the ice depends on the temperature in the freezer. The lower the temperature the more ice cubes produced. The amount of ice cubes produced depends on the temperature in the freezer section. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes will be produced in a given period of time. Turning off the ice cube maker The water supply line must be shut off several hours before the appliance or ice cube maker is switched off. After the appliance is turned on for the very first time, it can take up to 10 hours for the first ice cubes to drop out of the ice cube maker and collect in the container. ^ Touch the sensor button for the ice cube maker so that it turns white. 22
