The water supply will become cooler and cooler gradually.
Cool water does not contain ice – this should be added before the water.
Safety
Do not use excessively deep, narrow, fragile or delicate glasses.
•Hold the glass as close as possible to dispenser to avoid spilling water, dropping ice or blockages in the ice cube dispenser.
•Five seconds after the final delivery of ice or water, the dispenser flap will close with a ‘phutt’ sound. Hold the glass still for a further 2 – 3 seconds (for ice), 1 - 2 seconds (for water) after you have filled your glass and released the lever switch as additional water or ice may be produced.
•Regularly clean the dispenser.
•Crushed ice may be dispensed instead of cubed ice if crushed ice was the last option selected.
Never place canned drinks or foods inside the dispenser, as this will damage the crushing mechanism.
Do not touch the dispenser, or remove the icemaker cover to prevent accidental injury or damage to the appliance.
•First supply of water (seven glass approx) and ice cubes (20 pieces approx) should not be consumed after initial start up or following a lengthy break in use. Dispose of these accordingly.
•Do not place ice cubes, which have not been produced by the icemaker into the storage drawer to prevent damage to the mechanism.
•Insufficient water supply may lead to small ice cubes. Excessive water supply may lead to larger cubes, which may stick together, cause leaks and block the dispenser. You should adjust the tap or contact a service engineer.
Automatic defrosting
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator as this appliance has automatic defrost.
Do not use mechanical devices to accelerate the defrosting process – unless they are of a type recommended by the manufacturer.
In the event of a power cut
Should there be a prolonged power cut you may need to remove food from the freezer compartment and store it in a cold place, wrapped in layers of newspaper to preserve suitable temperatures.
In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for 3 hours approx.
Once power is restored – replace the food back into the freezer compartment.
Should food begin to defrost, or the power cut last longer than expected, it is advised that you consume any food removed from the freezer.
If the power outage is short term, most foods can be left inside the freezer compartment – this is the best way of preserving temperature – and surrounded by ice cubes from the icebox. This is also an ideal solution for power outages you may have been pre warned about.
When experiencing a power cut of any kind, do not add any extra foods to the freezer.
