Filling the Water Tank
The water for the ice maker is supplied from a water tank in the refrigerator compartment (see "Description of Appliance and Equipment" - page 6). This must be filled with water before the ice maker is switched on.

The water tank can also be removed completely to be filled with water.
3. Reinsert the water |

tank and slide into |
|
the holder as far as it | Figure 22 |
will go - Figure 22. |
IMPORTANT
If the water tank has not been slid right to the back, no ice cubes will be produced.
To Start the Ice Maker
To turn the ice maker on
•Pull out the drawer.
•Press the On/Off button so the Ice Maker LED comes on (Figure 23).
• Close the drawer.
After you start the ice |
| |
maker for the first time it |
| |
may take up to 24 hours | Figure 23 | |
before the first ice cubes | ||
| ||
are ready. |

Note
The first three batches of ice must not be con- sumed or used.
The production capacity is 90 - 100 ice cubes in
24 hours at a temperature of 0°F inside the freezer compartment.
To have the maximum capacity of approx. 140 ice cubes in 24 hours, activate the SuperFrost function.
Be aware that this increases the energy con- sumption because the compressor will run con- stantly.
The ice cubes fall out of the ice maker into the drawer. When the ice reaches a certain level in the drawer, the appliance stops producing ice automati- cally. The ice maker will not fill the drawer to the top.
If you need a large quantity of ice you can change out the drawer to the right with the complete IceMaker drawer.
To turn the ice maker off
If you do not need any ice cubes, the ice maker can be turned off independently of the freezer com- partment.
•Press the On/Off button for approximately 1 second so the control lamp goes out.
Note
If the ice maker is turned off, the empty draw- er can also be used to freeze and store food.
