ods of time

Risk of damage due to frozen
water intake pipe.
If the water intake is blocked while
the ice maker is still in use, the water
intake pipe can freeze up.
Turn the ice maker off if the water
supply is interrupted (e.g., while on
vacation).
 Close the faucet in the water supply
line (approx. 3 hours before switching
off the appliance to avoid the build-
up of bacteria caused by stagnant
water).
 Empty the ice cube container.
 Clean the refrigeration appliance.
 Replace the water filter (Intensive-
Clear 2.0 charcoal filter) or clean the
water filter (IntensiveClear 2.0 mesh
filter).
 Leave the door ajar to air the refriger-
ation appliance and avoid odors
building up inside the appliance.
If, during a long absence, the refrig-
eration appliance is switched off but
not cleaned and the door(s) left shut,
there is a danger of bacteria building
up inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the refrigera-
tion appliance.
