Using the Icemaker & Water Dispenser
Before using the Icemaker/Water
Dispenser
Water supply installation
Pressure of the cold water supplied to the automatic
icemaker is between 1.5 - 8.5Bar.
Installation instructions for the connection kit (to
a potable/drinking water supply) are found inside
the fridge.
Caution: Only an authorised person should
install the water pipes and filter.
• The water tube should be of an appropriate length
- usually 12 metres - and should be free of bends
after being inserted into place. If the tube is too long
then pressure will be reduced, therefore reducing the
capacity of ice making.
• Always use potable / drinking water.
• Keep the water tube clear of heat sources.
• The water tube should be installed and tested by
authorised personnel.
• When used for the first time, press and hold the
cold-water button for one minute to prime the water
supply. Do not press the cold-water button for any
longer as this may cause the valve to heat up.
Precautions
• Never expose the water pipe to temperatures below
0°C to avoid freezing.
• Test the tubing for leaks by flushing the tube through
with water, until the water runs clear.
• After the appliance has been sited into the location
of your choice, make sure that the water tube is
arranged so it does not incur damage through bends
and kinks and is clear of any heat sources.
• A qualified appliance installer must install this
appliance.
• Once the temperature inside the freezer is at -15°C
ice production will begin.
• Do not over use the icemaker. If you attempt to use
the ice cube button too often it will go into a shut
down mode. This is perfectly normal and requires you
to wait for one hour before attempting to re-use it.
• Do not use delicate or fragile glassware.
• Do not touch the ice cube outlet with your hands, or
any implements to avoid injury or damage.
How the icemaker works
In every cycle 8 ice cubes are produced.
Capacity of the icemaker depends on the freezer
temperature, the ambient temperature of the environment
around the appliance and how often the freezer door is
opened.
Do not store ice cubes, which are produced during the
first batch of cubes following appliance start up, or after a
prolonged break. Discard these cubes.
To ensure that the ice cube tray is filled to maximum
capacity, you will need to manually arrange the ice cubes
periodically.
Some ice cubes may stick together when dropped into the
storage box – you will need to separate these to ensure
maximum use of the icebox.
First use of the icemaker / water dispenser
Do not consume the first seven (approx)
glasses of water, as there may be dust and /
or impurities within the water pipes.
This will ensure that the pipes are cleared.
If in doubt, keep re-using the dispenser until the water runs
clear.
Noises during ice making
The ice making process can be noisy. You may hear ice
being dropped into the storage compartment. This is
perfectly normal.
Storing ice for extended periods
Ice, which is stored for a long period of time, may go an
opaque colour and have a strange odour. We recommend
that you dispose of this ice, remove and clean the icebox.
Allow the tray to dry thoroughly and cool down before
replacing into the appliance to prevent ice from sticking.
Preventing ice from being made
If you do not require any ice over a prolonged period of time
(i.e. during winter) you can switch off the valve between the
water supply and the appliance. It is recommended that you
clean the icebox, dry it carefully and replace it back into the
appliance – this will prevent any odours being produced.
