Important information concerning
the water filter
After use, the water system is subject to low
■
pressure. Be careful when removing the filter!
Rinse the water system through if the appliance has
■
not been used for a long period, or if the water
tastes or smells unpleasant. In addition to this, draw
water from the water dispenser for several minutes. If
the unpleasant taste or smell persists exchange
the filter.

rubbish.
Use locking cap
The ice and water dispenser can also be used without
a water filter. In this case, fit the locking cap.

The locking cap and the filter screen inside should be
rinsed out under running water at regular intervals.
