USING THE AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER
(if installed)
After switching on the refrigerator, it usually takes a full night for the first ice cubes to form. When
selecting crushed ice (on some models only - see the Quick Start Guide), the cubes are crushed just
before being dispensed, therefore the crushed ice may come out with a slight delay. Noise from the ice
crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from crushed ice to ice cubes, a small
amount of crushed ice may come out together with the first cubes.
The quantity and size of the ice cubes depend on the mains water pressure. Ice cubes production can be
increased by decreasing the freezer compartment temperature setting.
VERSION WITH ICE TRAY
Normal ice production is 7 to 8 batches of ice cubes over a 24 hour period.
Large amounts of ice cubes should be taken directly from the bucket, and not
from the dispenser. It is recommended that the drawer is closed after completing
the operation.
VERSION WITH ICE MAKER IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT AND
ICE BUCKET ON THE DOOR
Normal ice production is 12 to 14 batches of ice cubes over a 24 hour period.
To remove and refit the ice bucket
Insert your fingers in the opening at the
bottom of the container, pull the lever and
lift and extract the container (see figure 1).
On some models, you need to insert your
fingers into the opening at the bottom of the
container and place your thumb on the
release button (see figure 2) to remove the
container. Hold the base of the bucket with
both hands, press the release button and lift
the bucket up and out.
To re-insert the ice bucket, place it onto its
support attached to the inner door and
lower into position.
Note: If you need a large amount of ice cubes, take them directly from the bucket and not from the
dispenser.
VERSION WITH ICE MAKER AND BUCKET ON THE FREEZER DOOR
With the door closed, normal ice production is 6 to 7 batches of ice cubes over a 24 hour period.
Ice cube production depends to a large extent on how often the door is opened, the amount of fresh food
placed in the freezer compartment, the ambient temperature and the temperature set. If the ice maker
has not been used for a long time, it will take a full night for the first ice cubes to form.
Removing and refitting the ice bucket
Insert your fingers into the opening at the bottom of the ice bucket, pull the
lever then lift and extract the bucket (see figure 3).
To re-insert the ice bucket, place it onto its support attached to the inner
door and lower into position.
Note: For large amounts of ice, enable the "Fast Freezing" function (see the
Quick Start guide). If you need a large amount of ice cubes, take them
directly from the bucket and not from the dispenser.
Important: Turn the ice maker off before removing the ice bucket to
stop ice cubes being dispensed accidentally.
Use only drinking water for the regular cleaning of the ice maker cover.
