Using your ice maker
Information about your ice maker
Your automatic ice maker will produce approximately eight cubes of ice every 3 – 4 hours,
depending on freezer compartment temperature and number of door openings.
The ice cube tray will fill with water once the freezer has reached the correct temperature.
When cubes are frozen, they will be ejected from the mould into the ice storage bin.
Ice making will continue until the storage bin is full.
Ice making will resume when the ice is used.
Your Ice & Water product comes with a smaller ice bin inside the larger freezer bin. Attached to
this is the scoop for the ice. This scoop provides hygienic access to the ice.
If a large amount of ice is required, remove the smaller 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 in the correct position.
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).
