settings can then be made. If no changes are made within
2 minutes, the display will re-enter “sleep” mode.
■The dispensing system will not operate when the refrigerator
door is open.
■Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water.
■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
Cleaning, Sanitizing and Maintenance
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow the instructions regarding sanitizing
can compromise the hygienic safety of the water dispensed.
■When using the refrigerator for the first time, and each time
the water filter is changed, flush the water system. Discard the
first 15 litres of water, equivalent to 6 to 7 minutes of
dispensing (not necessarily consecutive, but before initial
consumption) and discard the ice produced in the first
24 hours.
■If the water dispenser has not been used for more than
5 days, it is advisable to clean the circuit and run off the first
litre of water.
■Clean the ice bin regularly using only drinking water for
cleaning the ice bin.
■The water filter must be changed when indicated on the
control panel or when the ice/water dispenser has not been
used for more than 30 days.
■With each water filter replacement, sanitise the ice and /or
water dispensing system using a food grade disinfectant (with
sodium hypochlorite), which does not alter the characteristics
of the materials, or use the “Sanitising Kit” available from the
After-Sales Service. Rinse with at least 2 litres of water before
use.
■Only original spare parts supplied by the manufacturer should
be used when replacing components in the ice and water
dispenser.
Flushing the Water System
1. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water
dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.
Repeat until water begins to flow.
2. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing
the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total
15 litres has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter
and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for
use. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the
dispenser.
