Maintenance
Using cold storage accumulators*
u Freeze and store the cold storage accumu- lators in the ceiling of the freezer compart- ment (appliances without
With the top drawer removed:
u to insert cold storage accu-
mulators: slide cold storage accumulator into the top back of the freezer compartment ceiling and snap into place at the front.
With the top drawer removed:
u to remove cold storage accumulators: take hold of the cold storage accumu- lator at the side and press it down for removal.
Using cold storage accumulators*
uPlace the cold storage accumula- tors in the top freezer compart- ment to save space.
uPlace the frozen cold storage accumulators on the frozen food in the upper front area of the freezer compartment.
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. 29
uPull out the drawer.
uPress the On/Off button Fig. 29 (1) so that the LED Fig. 29 (2) shines.
uPush in the drawer.
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.
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.
u Clean the IceMaker.
w This ensures that no water or ice remains in the IceMaker.
6 Maintenance
6.1 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 5.2) is active.
u Pull out the power plug or switch off the fuse.
u Place cold storage accumulators on top of the frozen food. u If possible, put the frozen goods in the freezer drawer,
wrapped in newspaper or a blanket, and store in a cool place.
u Place a pan with hot, not boiling water on a middle shelf.
u
w Defrosting is speeded up.
w Defrost water is collected in the drawers.
u Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting. u Remove detached pieces of ice.
