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.
Ice Mode
The function is activated when the symbol is lit.
Press the ice mode button to select the symbol corresponding to the type of ice required (cubes or
crushed); the symbol will light up.
To dispense ice:
1. Press the ice mode button and select the required type of ice.
2. Press a rigid glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so that
ice does not fall outside of the glass.
3. Press lightly on the lever to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not result in faster dispensing
or greater quantities.
4. To stop dispensing, remove the glass slowly so that ice does not fall outside the glass.
5. Do not use fragile glasses to dispense ice.
Water dispensing
To dispense water press a glass against the water dispenser lever, removing the glass to stop dispensing; at
the same time the light inside the dispenser comes on, and goes off when the lever is released.
It is not necessary to press hard on the levers to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will not result in
faster dispensing or greater quantities.
USING THE AUTOMATIC ICE-MAKER
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.
Normal ice production consists of about 7 to 8 batches of ice cubes in a 24-hour period. 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.
Note: Large amounts of ice cubes should be taken directly from the bucket, and not from the dispenser.
NOTE: In order to increase the amount of available space, the ice drawer can be remover from
the freezer compartment. In this case, remember to switch the ice maker off, or ice production
will continue.
