Water filter The appliance is supplied with a water filter (Active charcoal filter) that filters supply water for making ice cubes. The Active charcoal filter improves the taste and smell of the ice cubes by removing chlorine and other substances from supply water. To ensure the quality of the ice cubes remains high, it is essential to change the Active charcoal filter regularly. Please note: - After inserting a new water filter, dispose of all ice cubes produced in the next 24 hours following the change. - If you have not used the appliance or the ice maker much in the last few weeks, or if the ice cubes smell unpleasant, install a new water filter. - If an external water filter is fitted to your household water supply, use a Bypass filter in place of an Active charcoal filter. In this case, you can switch off the Water Filter Display (see "Selecting additional settings", section "Switching off the Water Filter Display"). The reminder to change the Active charcoal filter is issued approx. every 6 months, depending on the quantity of ice cubes produced. A reminder to change the Active charcoal filter appears in the display: Replace the water filter. An audible signal also sounds.  Confirm the message with OK.  Change the water filter. The first time the Active charcoal filter  needs to be changed, the display will remind you automatically; the reminder does not need to be switched on separately. The reminder to change the Active charcoal filter keeps appearing until you change the Active charcoal filter and reset the Water Filter Display (see "Switching on, switching off", or resetting the Water Filter Display" in "Selecting additional settings"). New water filters (Active charcoal filters or Bypass filters) are available from Miele Technical Service, from your dealer, or via the internet. 115
