Making Ice Cubes - Miele KF 2981 Vi Operating And Installation Instructions

For the automatic ice maker to oper-
ate, it must be connected to a water
supply (see "Water connection").

CAUTION
The first three batches of ice cubes
made after the ice maker is started
up must not be consumed, as the
water will have been used for the ini-
tial rinse through the water supply
line.
This applies to the initial commis-
sioning as well as when using the
appliance again after it has been
turned off for a long while.

Ice Maker and

Making ice cubes

The Ice Maker can make up to 2.9 lb
(1.3 kg) of ice cubes in 24 hours.
The amount of ice cubes made by the
appliance depends on the temperature
in the freezer. The lower the tempera-
ture, the more ice cubes are pro-
duced.
After the setting up the appliance for
the first time, it can take up to
10 hours for the first ice cubes to drop
out of the Ice Maker and collect in the
tray.
Do not place any bottles or food into
the Ice Maker to chill them quickly.
The Ice Maker could become
blocked and, as a result, be dam-
aged.
Empty the ice cube tray at regular in-
tervals, or at least if you have not
produced any ice for more than a
week. This will ensure that you al-
ways have fresh ice and the ice
cubes will not form a clump.
Ice cube production does not stop
when the ice cube tray has been re-
moved. Ice cubes can fall into the
freezer basket underneath.
Only remove the ice cube tray for
the shortest possible time or
switch off the Ice Maker before re-
moving it.
