ICE MAKER
Note
> If the ice is not used frequently is advisable
to empty the ice bin once every 8-10 days.
It is normal that some ice cubes stick to one
another. If the ice is not frequently used, the
older cubes can become opaque, and will
have a strange flavour and become smaller.
> The Icemaker automatically deactivates if
the Vacation
function is activated.

The production is of 10 cubes per cycle in
approximately 10 cycles in 24 hours.
The yield depends on the temperature set in the
freezer, the room temperature and the frequency of
drawer / door opening.
If the appliance is operating without being connected
to the water system, make sure that the Icemaker
is deactivated. The Ice Maker produces ice until the
ice tray is full and will automatically stop once the

Do the ice cubes have an unusual odor?
Ice is a porous material which can absorb odors
from the environment. Ice cubes which have been
in the ice cube container for a long time may absorb
odors, stick together and slowly become smaller.

We recommend that old ice cubes not be used.
Other means of preventing odors:
>
The ice cube container should be cleaned
occasionally with warm water. Make sure that
you switch off the ice maker before clearing the
container. Rinse out and wipe dry.
>
Check the contents of the freezer for spoiled
or out-of-date food. All odorous foods should be
wrapped thoroughly or stored in airtight containers
to prevent the build-up of odors.
>
The water filter may have to be replaced in some
models.
>
In some cases the quality of the water connection
in the house should be checked.
Operating noises
Quite normal noises
>
Grumbling: refrigerating unit is running. Fan in the
recirculating air system is running.
>
Bubbling, humming or gurgling noises: refrigerant
is flowing through the tubes.
>
Clicking: motor is switching on or off. Solenoid
valve on the water connection is opening/closing.
>
Rumbling: ice cubes are falling into the ice cube
container.
The appliance is powered by two independent
compressors. It is therefore normal to always
have one of two compressors in operation.
Warning
Do not place any bottles or food for rapid
cooling in the ice cube container. The
ice maker may become blocked and be
damaged.
