After switching on the refrigerator, it usually takes overnight for the first ice cubes to form. When selecting
crushed ice, 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 temperature on the freezer compartment.
ONLY FOR MODELS FITTED WITH ICE DRAWER
Normal ice production consists of about 7 to 8 batches of ice cubes in 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.
ONLY FOR MODELS FITTED WITH ICE DISPENSER
Normal ice production consists of about 12 to 14 batches of ice cubes in
a 24-hour period.
Recommendations for the use of the automatic ice maker.
When the door of the freezer compartment is open, ensure that the
small flap, which functions as a sensor to stop the distribution of ice from
the automatic ice maker to the ice container located on the inner door is
not obstructed.
To remove and replace the ice container
1. Insert your fingers in the opening at the bottom of the container and
place your thumb on the release button. Holding the base of the
container with both hands, press the release button, lift the container
upwards and remove.
To replace the ice container in its place, place it on its support attached to
the inner door and lower in position.
Note: Large amounts of ice cubes should be taken directly from the
bucket, and not from the dispenser.

First use
When the ice and water dispenser is used for the first time, the first ice cubes and water coming out of
the dispenser may have an unpleasant taste and should therefore be discarded.
To dispense water:
Water delivery is always available. Press a glass against the water dispenser lever. Water delivery stops
when the lever is released.
To dispense ice:
To obtain ice press against the ice dispenser lever.
Press the ICE MODE button to select the desired type of ice (crushed or cubes)
Useful tips:
1. Keep the glass near the dispenser outlet.
2. Press lightly on the lever to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not result in faster dispensing
or greater quantities.
3. To stop dispensing, remove the glass slowly so that ice does not fall outside the glass.
4. Do not use fragile glasses.
