Activation and use of the Ice Maker
Activation and use of the Ice Maker
Do not place any bottles or food for rapid cooling in the ice
cube container. The ice maker may become blocked and be
damaged.
If the ice is not used frequently is advisable to empty the ice
bin once every 8-10 days.
It is normal that some ice cubes stick to one another. If the
ice is not frequently used, the older cubes can become
opaque, and will have a strange flavour and become
smaller.
The Icemaker automatically deactivates if the Vacation
function is activated.
When the Icemaker is started for the first time, it is
recommended to dispose of the first full bin of ice.
If the equipment has been switched off for a month or more,
it is recommended to perform a water cleaning cycle.
The ice maker will only produce ice with the TriMode
compartment set to Freezer Mode.
The ice maker will continue to operate even when the ice
bin is not in position
To activate the Ice Maker after installation of the appli-
ance, press the Icemaker button .
Please note that 12 to 24 hours are necessary before ice
production may begin. The production is of 10 cubes per
cycle in approximately 10 cycles in 24 hours.
The yield depends on the temperature set in the freezer,
the room temperature and the frequency of door open-
ing.
If the appliance is operating without being connected to
the water system, make sure that the Icemaker is deacti-
vated by pressing the button .
The Ice Maker produces ice until the ice tray is full and will
automatically stop once the maximum level is reached.
With the SuperIce function, it is possible to increase the
quantity of ice produced a 24 hours, while the Set Cube
Size function permits selection of the size of the produced
ice cubes.
At factory default settings Ice Maker can produce approx.
100 ice cubes within 24 hours.
Do the ice cubes have an unusual odour?
Ice is a porous material which can absorb odours from the
environment. Ice cubes which have been in the ice cube
container for a long time may absorb odours, stick togeth-
er and slowly become smaller.
We recommend that old ice cubes not be used.
Other means of preventing odors:
The ice cube container should be cleaned occasion-
ally with warm water. Make sure that you switch off the ice
maker before clearing the container. Rinse out and wipe
dry.
Check the contents of the freezer for spoiled or out-of-
date food. All odorous foods should be wrapped thorough-
ly or stored in airtight containers to prevent the build-up of
odors.
The water filter may have to be replaced in some mod-
els.
In some cases the quality of the water connection in the
house should be checked.
Operating noises
Quite normal noises
Grumbling: refrigerating unit is running. Fan in the recircu-
lating air system is running.
Bubbling, humming or gurgling noises: refrigerant is flow-
ing through the tubes.
Clicking: motor is switching on or off. Solenoid valve on
the water connection is opening/closing.
Rumbling: ice cubes are falling into the ice cube con-
tainer.
Note: the appliance is powered by two independent
compressors. It is therefore normal to always have one of
two compressors in operation.
Water Filter (not 0F models)
The Water Filter makes available high-quality water for the
production of ice cubes. It provides up to 3000 liters of wa-
ter for a maximum time of 12 months.
When the filter is nearly expired the message “Replace Fil-
ter” will appear on the display.
Filter Replacement
The filter is located inside the refrigerator compartment,
above the top glass panel. Prior to changing the filter, switch
off the Ice Maker by pressing the IceMaker button.
Open the top glass panel and carefully rotate the filter car-
tridge for a quarter rotation in a counter clockwise direction
until it detaches from its housing. It is normal for a small quan-
tity of water to come out. Remove the cap of the new car-
tridge and insert it into the housing by gently rotating it for
a quarter rotation in a clockwise direction until it locks into
place.
Then enter the Fhiaba Access Menu and set “Manual Clean”
function. At the end of the cleaning cycle remove the water
from the ice tray and wipe it dry.
Reset water filter in the settings
menu or by pressing the Enter
button for 5 seconds.
