Water system
Your appliance is equipped with water-carrying components. The water system only works if a water filter or a bypass cap is installed.
Water filter
The water filter filters particles and the taste of chlorine out of the water. The water filter reduces further contamination, e. g. from chloramines, lead and pharmaceutical products.
Note: The water filter does not filter bacteria or microbes out of the water.
Change the water filter:
- every 6 months.
- if lights up.
- if the water output has visibly reduced.
Tips
- A new water filter can be purchased from customer service, your dealer or our website.
- If you do not want to use a water filter in your appliance or an external water filter system is installed, you can permanently replace the water filter with a bypass cap. The bypass cap filters only large particles out of the water and can be cleaned as required. A bypass cap can be purchased from customer service or our website.
Changing the water filter or replacing it with a bypass cap
1. Reach into the recess below the filter cover, pull it forward slightly 1 and move it to the bottom left 2.
2. Turn the water filter counterclockwise by 90° 1 and remove it 2 .
‒ Remove the water filter with care as it is under pressure.
Note: When removing it, a small amount of water may drip out of the water filter. Remove the drips of water with a dry cloth.
Tip: You can dispose of the old water filter with your household garbage.
3. Insert the new water filter or the bypass cap all the way into the filter opening and turn it 90° clockwise until it stops.
4. Move the filter cover up to the right and slide back all the way.
5. Discard the ice cubes produced during the first 24 hours, and dispense water for 5 minutes and discard.
Water dispenser
Dispense cold water via the water dispenser.
Putting the water dispenser into operation
Note: Once the appliance has been connected or a new water filter has been installed, there will be air in the water system.
1. Keep dispensing water until it contains no more air bubbles. Remove any splashes of water with a dry cloth.
2. For hygiene reasons, dispense water for 5 minutes and discard.
Dispensing water
▶ Press and hold the glass against the dispensing button 1 or hold the glass under the water dispenser and press 
2.
Notes
- After a while of continuous dispensing, the water stops being dispensed. Wait a few seconds before dispensing water again.
- After water has been dispensed several times consecutively, water stops being dispensed. Wait a few minutes before dispensing water again.
Ice maker
Use the ice maker to produce ice cubes.
WARNING Rotating parts may cause injury.
▶ Never reach into or underneath the ice maker.
Note: The ice maker automatically detects that the ice storage container is full. It could take up to 48 hours until the ice storage container is full.
Tips
- You can accelerate ice cube production by setting a colder freezer compartment temperature or by switching on Super freezing. This will slightly increase energy consumption.
- If the ice cubes taste stale, discard them and the cubes produced over the next 24 hours. If the ice cubes still taste stale, change the water filter.
Putting the ice maker into operation
Notes
- Ice cube production starts as soon as the appliance is switched on and the freezer compartment has reached the set temperature.
