Items suitable for sealing wrapped food: Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant adhesive tape or similar items. Bags and polyethylene blown film can be sealed with a film sealer.

Storage life of frozen food

The storage life depends on the type of food. At a temperature setting of 0 °F (-18 °C):

  • Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries: up to 6 months
  • Cheese, poultry and meat: up to 8 months
  • Fruit and vegetables: up to 12 months.

Purchasing and storing deep-frozen food

Follow these guidelines when purchasing deep-frozen food:

  • Make sure the packaging is not damaged.
  • Check the ”sell by” date.
  • The temperature of the supermarket freezer should be lower than 0 °F (-18 °C). If not, this shortens the storage life of the frozen food.
  • Pick up deep-frozen food last when shopping. Wrap in newspaper or place in a cold bag and take home.
  • At home, immediately place deep-frozen food in the freezer compartment. Use the deep-frozen food before the ”sell by” date.

Ice and water dispenser

The following may be dispensed as necessary:

  • cooled water,
  • crushed ice,
  • ice cubes.

When switching on the appliance, note the following

The ice and water dispenser only works when the appliance is connected to the water supply. After the appliance has been switched on, it will take 24 hours before the first batch of ice cubes are ready. When the appliance is connected, air bubbles will still be in the lines. Extract the drinking water and discard until water can be dispensed without bubbles. Discard the first five glasses of water. When using the ice maker for the first time, do not use the first 30 to 40 ice cubes for reasons of hygiene.

Operating the ice maker

Once the freezer compartment has reached its freezing temperature, water flows into the ice maker and freezes into ice cubes. The ice cubes are automatically discharged into the ice cube container when they are ready. The sides of the ice cubes may occasionally stick together. They usually break away from each other as they move to the dispenser opening. Ice making switches off automatically when the ice cube container is full. The ice maker can make approximately 100 ice cubes within 24 hours when ice cubes are discharged several times during the day. As the ice cubes are being made, the sound of the buzzing water valve, the water flowing into the ice storage bin and the falling ice cubes can be heard.

Drinking water quality

All materials used in the water dispenser are odorless and tasteless.

If the water has an aftertaste, this may be caused by:

  • Mineral and chlorine content in the drinking water
  • Materials from which the domestic water line or connection line are made
  • Freshness of the drinking water. If water has not been dispensed for an extended period of time, the water may have a ”stale” taste. In this case, dispense approx. 15 glasses of water and discard.

The taste and smell of the water can be improved by installing the included filter cartridge at the water intake point.

Dispensing water

1. Hold an appropriate receptacle under the ice and water dispenser.

2. Keep the water dispenser button pressed until the desired amount of water is in the receptacle.

Tip: The water from the water dispenser is cooled to a palatable temperature. If you would like colder water, place ice cubes in the glass before dispensing the water.

Dispensing ice

1. Hold an appropriate receptacle under the ice and water dispenser.

2. Keep the ice cube or crushed ice button pressed until the desired amount is in the receptacle.

Ice storage bin

The ice storage bin stores a reserve supply of ice cubes the freezer compartment. The ice storage bin fits perfectly into the ice and water dispenser due to its shape.

Disconnecting the ice maker

If ice cubes will not be dispensed for more than 1 week (such as due to vacation), temporarily disconnect the ice cube maker to prevent the ice cubes from freezing together.

1. Press the release button and remove the ice cube container.

2. Press the button for 3 seconds (led lamp is off) behind the ice cube container - the ice maker is deactivated.
