Installing the Water Filter:

1. Remove the cover of the filter socket.
2. Insert the filter and turn it 90° clockwise.

Removing the Water Filter:

1. Turn the filter 90° counterclockwise and remove.

WARNING: To avoid the risk of bacteria growth, the water filter must be changed when the waterdrop symbol appears on the display!

It is not necessary to turn off the water supply when removing or installing the water filter.

Vacation Tips

Short Vacations (less than four weeks): Shut off the water supply to the ice maker. Leave the ice maker on for one day to eject remaining ice cubes. Touch the IceMaker icon to turn it off. Transfer ice cubes and use perishables.

Long Vacations (one month or more): Shut off water supply. Eject remaining ice. Turn off the IceMaker. Remove all ice cubes. Remove all food. Turn off the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Clean the appliance. Leave doors and drawers open to prevent odors and mold.

Turning on the ice maker after vacation: Open the water supply. Touch the IceMaker icon to turn it on. Do not consume the first three batches of ice.

Troubleshooting

General Troubleshooting: Check if the appliance is turned on, power cord is inserted, and circuit breaker/fuse is functional. Ensure the appliance is turned on for interior light issues. Check ambient temperature, door opening frequency, amount of food added, and SuperCool mode status for motor running too long or temperature not cold enough.

Freezer temperature display shows two dashes "--": This indicates the freezer is starting up and has not yet reached freezing temperatures. This can take three to five hours and may also occur after a power failure.

Ice Maker Troubleshooting:

• Ice maker cannot be turned on: Check electrical connection, ensure ice maker is turned on.
• Ice maker is not making any ice: Check water supply line and ensure both freezer drawers are closed properly.

Customer Service: If faults cannot be rectified, contact your nearest customer service representative. Provide appliance type, service number, and serial number from the model plate.
