Risk of damage due to frozen
water inlet pipe.
If the water inlet is blocked while the
ice maker is still in use, the water
inlet pipe can freeze up.
Turn the ice maker off if the water
supply is turned off (e.g. while on
holiday).
 Close the stopcock in the water
supply line (approx. 3 hours before
switching off the refrigeration
appliance to avoid the build-up of
mould caused by stagnant water).
 Empty the ice cube container.
 Clean the refrigeration appliance.
 Clean the water filter.
 Leave the door ajar to air the
refrigeration appliance and prevent
odours from building up inside it.
If, during a long absence, the
refrigeration appliance is switched off
but not cleaned and the door(s) left
shut, there is a risk of mould forming
inside the appliance.
It is essential to clean the
refrigeration appliance.
