Switching on and using the ice-maker
Check that there is a water filter cartridge installed and that the water circuit has
been flushed before switching the ice-maker on for the first time.
When operating the ice-maker for the first time, it is recommended the first full bin
of ice made be discarded. The water filter should be cleaned before using the ice-
maker if the appliance has not been used for more than a month. Ice cubes are
only produced in the freezer compartment when the MonoFridge is deactivated.
The ice-maker continues to make ice cubes even if the ice cube bin is not in posi-
tion. The ice-maker switches off automatically when the
holiday function is ac-
tivated!
It takes 12 to 24 hours for the ice-maker to run automatically. The ice-maker produces
10 ice cubes per cycle at a rate of roughly 10 cycles per 24 hours. This means that
roughly 100 ice cubes can be produced in 24 hours. The performance of the appliance
depends on the temperature set in the freezer compartment, the ambient air temperature
and how often the door is opened. The appliance makes ice cubes until the bin is full
and once the maximum level is reached it switches off automatically. The ice cube mode
must be switched off if the appliance is not connected to the water supply when in oper-
ation!
The size of ice cube – medium or large – can be chosen using the
ice cube size
function. A larger amount of ice can be produced if the
PartyIce function is activated.
The function switches off automatically after 24 hours. If the ice cubes are not removed
for a longer period of time, the ice cubes that have already been made gradually shrink,
stick together and become cloudy. Ice cubes can absorb odours from the surroundings
which affect their taste. Prevent odours developing:
▪
Clean the ice cube bin periodically with warm water and then wipe dry. Make sure the
function is switched off before cleaning it.
▪
Dispose of any food that is spoiled in the freezer compartment. Store food in contain-
ers or packaging as airtight as possible to prevent odours developing.
▪
Check the water filter and replace if necessary as well as periodically.
▪
Check the quality of the domestic water supply.
Do not use the ice cube bin to store bottles or to cool food down quickly. The ice-
maker can get blocked and damaged.
