The Icemaker/Water Dispenser

Precautions

• 

NEVER expose the water pipe to temperatures below 

0 °C to avoid freezing.

• 

Test the tubing for leaks by flushing the tube through 

with water, until the water runs clear.

• 

After the appliance has been sited into the location of 

your choice, make sure that the water tube is arranged 

so it does not incur damage through bends and kinks 

and is clear of any heat sources.

• 

Once the temperature inside the freezer is at –12 °C ice 

production will begin.

• 

DO NOT over use the icemaker. If you attempt to use 

the ice cube button too often it will go into a shut down 

mode. This is perfectly normal and requires you to wait 

for one hour before attempting to re-use it.

• 

DO NOT use delicate or fragile glassware.

• 

DO NOT touch the ice cube outlet with your hands, or 

any implements to avoid injury or damage.

How the Icemaker Works

Capacity of the icemaker depends on the freezer 

temperature, the ambient temperature of the environment 

around the appliance and how often the freezer door is 

opened.
Do not store ice cubes, which are produced during the 

first batch of cubes following appliance start up, or after a 

prolonged break. Discard these cubes.
To allow the ice cube tray to fill to maximum capacity, you will 

need to manually arrange the ice cubes periodically.
Some ice cubes may stick together when dropped into the 

storage box – you will need to separate these to ensure 

maximum use of the icebox.

First use of the Icemaker / Water Dispenser

n

n

DO NOT consume the first seven (approx) glasses 

of water, as there may be dust and / or impurities 

within the water pipes.

This will make sure that the pipes are cleared. If in doubt, 

keep re-using the dispenser until the water runs clear.

Noises during Ice Making

The ice making process can be noisy. You may hear ice being 

dropped into the storage compartment. This is perfectly 

normal.

Storing Ice for Extended Periods

Ice, which is stored for a long period of time, may go an 

opaque colour and have a strange odour. We recommend 

that you dispose of this ice, remove and clean the icebox. 

Allow the tray to dry thoroughly and cool down before 

replacing into the appliance to prevent ice from sticking.
