Using your ice maker (Ice & Water models only)
Information about your ice maker
Your automatic ice maker will produce approximately eight cubes of ice every 3 – 4 hours,
depending on the freezer compartment temperature and the number of door openings.
When the ICE BOOST function is activated, ice production will increase up to 30% from standard
ice making.
The ice cube tray will fill with water.
When cubes are frozen, they will be ejected from the ice tray into the ice storage bin.
Ice making will continue until the storage bin is full.
Ice making will resume once you start to use the stored ice.
Your Ice & Water product comes with a smaller ice bin inside the larger freezer bin. Attached to
the ice storage bin is the hygienic scoop for the ice. This scoop provides hygienic access to the
ice.
If a large amount of ice is required, remove an ice storage bin and allow ice to fall into the larger
bin.
For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes with the ice scoop.
If ice is not used often, old cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, will shrink and may stick
together. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash in lukewarm water. Dry thoroughly
and place back into the correct position.

This function is designed to be used for times when you require more ice eg when you are

The ICE BOOST function is paused once your ice bin is full.
To manually deactivate this feature press the button again. The light above the button

Important!
Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ice maker ejector mechanism, and do not place your
fingers on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is in operation.
Do not use ice cubes that may have become discoloured, usually with a green-blue colour. If such
discolouration is noted, discard the ice cubes and contact your Fisher&Paykel Authorised Repairer.
Ensure the ice maker is connected to the filter and to a drinkable water supply only.
Installation of the water connection to the ice maker must be completed by a qualified service
technician or a qualified plumber (see installation instructions).
