5.2 Brightness of the temperature
display
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by a qualified electrician in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction.
You can adapt the brightness of the temperature display
to the light conditions in the room in which it is installed.
If the door is open or the control panel is used the temper-
ature indicator lights up at maximum brightness. About 1
minute after the door is closed or no button has been
pressed on the control panel, the temperature display
goes back to the set brightness.
The Power Plug must be easily accessible so that the
appliance can be disconnected from the mains quickly
in an emergency. It must not be behind the back of the

In addition to the drawers, you
can also take out the shelves.
This gives you space for large

joints of game and tall bakery
items can be frozen and then
presented whole.
The appliance is connected to the electricity supply.
The minimum freezer temperature is 14 °F (-10 °C).
The IceMaker is connected to the water supply.
All air was bled from the waterline before starting the
icemaker. The icemaker will only work if there is no air
in the waterline.

5.16.2 Producing ice cubes
The production capacity depends on the freezer tempera-
ture. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes can
be produced in a certain period.
5.15 Compartment for herbs and
berries
With the compartment for herbs and berries, you can
freeze berries, herbs, vegetables, and other small food
items without their clumping together. Items frozen here
will retain their original shape, making it easier to portion
them out later.
The production capacity is 90- 100 ice cubes in 24 hours
at a freezing temperature of 0 °F (-18 °C).
To have the maximum capacity of approx. 130 ice cubes
in 24 hours, activate the SuperFrost Function. Be aware
that this increases the energy consumption because the
compressor will run constantly.
The ice cubes fall out of the IceMaker into the drawer.
When the ice cubes reach a certain height in the drawer,
no more ice cubes can be produced. The IceMaker will
not fill the drawer to the top.
If large quantities of ice cubes are required, the complete
IceMaker drawer can be swapped with the neighboring
drawer. When you close the drawer, the IceMaker auto-
matically restarts production.
