2. Push the vessel against the dispenser
guide (35).
Cold water will begin to pour into the ves-
sel.
Remove the vessel from the dispenser guide
to stop the flow of water.
Function of the ice maker
When the freezer compartment has reached
the set temperature, water runs into the ice
tray and the chambers, freezing into ice
cubes. This produces about 10 ice cubes at
a time. When the ice cubes are finished (i.e.
when the water is frozen), the ice tray will tilt
and the ice cubes will fall into the ice cube
container. This process repeats about 12–13
times a day. When the ice cube container is
full, no fresh ice cubes are produced.
After the first time the appliance is operated, it
takes about 6 hours until ice cubes are avail-
able.
In order to produce crushed ice, the ice cubes
are chopped into chunks of only a few milli-
metres. This occurs within a grinding mech-
anism located inside the ice cube container.
Cold water, crushed ice and ice cubes pass
through the ice dispenser and are dispensed
via the ice outlet.
Using the ice maker
The production of ice cubes and crushed ice
creates noise. The water vent hums. Water
flows into the ice tray. The grinding mecha-
nism grinds ice cubes. Finished ice cubes fall
into the ice cube container. These noises are
normal.
When ice cubes are dispensed, there may be
loud cracking noises. This is also not a cause
for concern.
It is possible that ice cubes have stuck to-
gether in the ice cube container (4). In this
case:
3. Remove the ice maker.
4. Divide the fused ice cubes, for example
by carefully pushing on them with a plas-
tic or wooden spoon.
5. Remove ice cube clumps.
6. Divide the ice cubes evenly in the ice
cube container.
Other options are described in section "Clean-
ing the ice cube container“ on page GB-31.
In order to avoid overheating the ice maker’s
motor, the dispensing of ice will stop after
about 1 minute. In this case, wait a moment
until the motor has returned to operating tem-
perature. If you need a larger quantity of ice
cubes, take them directly from the ice cube
container instead. Section "Cleaning the ice
cube container“ on page GB-31 describes how
to remove the ice cube container from the
freezer compartment.
If there are not enough ice cubes in the ice
cube container, it may not be possible to dis-
pense any ice. If this is the case, please wait
until fresh ice cubes are produced.
In order to prevent unpleasant odours or fla-
vours from developing in the ice cubes, clean
the ice cube container on a regular basis.
