5.6.10 IceMaker*
The IceMaker is in the top drawer of the freezer compartment. The drawer is marked “IceMaker”.
Make certain that the following conditions are met:
-The appliance is level.
-The appliance is connected.
-The freezer compartment is switched on.
-The IceMaker is connected to the water supply.
Switching on the IceMaker*Fig. 13
uPull out the drawer.
uPress the On/Off button Fig. 13 (1) so that the LED Fig. 13 (2) shines.
uPush in the drawer.
The IceMaker symbol Fig. 2 (18) shines.w
Note
u The IceMaker produces ice cubes only if the drawer is fully closed.
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.
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.
u Therefore do not use or consume the ice cubes made in the first 24 hours.
Setting the water intake time*The opening time of the IceMaker valve can be set if, for example, the water pressure in the pipe is too low or too high. The water intake time can be set in stages from E1 (short intake time) to E8 (long intake time). The intake is preset at E3.
u To activate the setting mode: press the SuperFrost button Fig. 2 (12) for about 5 s.
wThe display indicates c.
w Themenu symbol Fig. 2 (16) shines.
u Using the Up setting button, freezer compartment Fig. 2 (10) and Down setting button, freezer compartment Fig. 2 (11) select E.
u To confirm: briefly press the SuperFrost button Fig. 2 (12).
u To increase the water intake time: press the Up setting button, freezer compartment Fig. 2 (10).
u To reduce the water intake time: press the Down setting button, freezer compartment Fig. 2 (11).
u To confirm: press the SuperFrost button Fig. 2 (12).
u To deactivate the setting mode: press the On/Off button, freezer compartment Fig. 2 (8).
w The temperature is indicated again in the temperature display.
Switching off the IceMaker*If no ice cubes are needed, the IceMaker can be switched off independently of the freezer compartment.
When the IceMaker is switched off, the IceMaker drawer can also be used for freezing and storing food.
u Press the On/Off button for about 1 second until the LED goes out.
w The IceMaker symbol Fig. 2 (18) goes out. u Clean the IceMaker.
w This ensures that no water or ice remains in the IceMaker.
6 Maintenance
6.1 Defrosting with NoFrost*
The NoFrost system automatically defrosts the appliance.
Refrigerator compartment:The defrost water evaporates due to the compressor heat.
u Regularly clean the drain opening to allow the water to flow away (see 6.3) .
Freezer compartment:The moisture condenses on the evaporator, is periodically defrosted and evaporates.
u The appliance does not have to be manually defrosted.
6.2 Manual defrosting*
The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically. The defrost water evaporates as a result of the heat of the compressor. Drops of water on the rear wall are perfectly normal.
u Regularly clean the drain opening to allow the water to flow away (see 6.3) .
A layer of frost or ice can build up in the freezer compartment after a long period of operation.
The layer of frost or ice builds up faster if the appliance is opened often or if the food is warm when placed inside. However, a thick layer of ice will increase the appliance‘s energy consumption. You should therefore defrost the appli- ance regularly.
CAUTION
Risk of injury and damage as a result of hot steam!
u Do not use electric heaters or steam cleaners, naked flames or defrosting sprays for defrosting.
u Do not remove ice using sharp instruments.
u Switch on SuperFrost one day before defrosting.
w The frozen goods are provided with a “cold reserve”. u Switch off the appliance.
w The temperature display goes out.
w If the temperature display does not go out, the child lock function (see 5.1) is active.
