Miele F 1471 Vi Operating And Installation Instructions page 43

. . . the ice/water dispenser only
produces small ice cubes.
^ Are other appliances that are
connected to the mains water supply
being used at the same time?
Avoid using the dishwasher, washing
machine etc. at the same time.
^ Check whether the water filter needs
to be changed.
^ Check whether there is sufficient
water pressure. The water pressure
(flow rate) must be between 1.72 and
5.0 bar.
^ Check that the correct valve was
installed; an incorrect valve may
cause a drop in water pressure.
Remember it can take up to
10 hours to produce the first ice
cubes.
^ Check that the ice cube container is
clean and wash it if necessary.
. . . the ice/water dispenser is
producing too few or misshapen ice
cubes or is only dispensing a very
little amount of water.
^ Check whether there is sufficient
water pressure. The water pressure
(flow rate) must be between 1.72 and
5.0 bar.
^ Check that the temperature in the
freezer section is low enough.
^ Replace the water filter.
Problem solving guide
. . . the ice cubes taste or smell odd.
^ How often do you use the ice cube
maker?
If you do not use it very often, ice
cubes that are stored for a long
period can absorb the taste and
smell of other items.
^ Are you storing unwrapped food in
the freezer?
Ice can absorb the taste and smell of
unwrapped food.
. . . noises from the ice/water
dispenser can be regularly heard.
This is not a fault.
The ice cube separating function is
active. The spindle in the ice cube
container moves at regular intervals to
separate the ice cubes and prevent
them from freezing together and
blocking the dispensing spout.
. . . water is pouring out of the
appliance.
^ Turn off the tap immediately.
^ Check whether the water pipework
inside the appliance is damaged.
Call Miele.
^ Check whether there is sufficient
water pressure.
^ Check whether the correct valve was
fitted.
