off the power main, tripping the
circuit breaker or unplugging the
power cord before maintenance.
Never use cleaning agents

Non-abrasive cleaning agents are
also unsuitable, as they can cause
matte areas to appear.

water and liquid dish soap to clean
this appliance.

this appliance. Pressurized steam
could penetrate electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.

that still contain abrasive cleanser
residue to clean the frames.

the way back, twist the anti-clumping
screw in the container.

As soon as the drip tray is full, the lock
button on the Ice/Water dispenser
control panel will flash. A sensor

cleaned. However, to prevent odors,
the drip tray should be cleaned daily.

							The water filter improves the taste and
smell of ice cubes by removing chlorine
and other substances from the
incoming tap water.
It is important to change the water
filter regularly.
To avoid serious illness or death, do
not use water that is
microbiologically or chemically
unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection or other
treatment before or after use of a
filter.
Note:
– After installing a new water filter and
switching on the ice maker, discard
the first 24 hours worth of ice
production.
– If the ice maker has not been used
for a prolonged time discard any ice
cubes in the freezer, empty the
container and discard the ice
production of the next 24 hours.
–
If the appliance or ice maker have
not been routinely used for several
weeks or months, or if the ice cubes
have an unpleasant odor, change
the water filter.
Note: Air trapped in the system may
cause water and the filter cartridge
to eject forcefully. Use caution when
removing.–Depending on how many ice cubes
are produced, the filter will need to
be changed approximately every 6
months.
–When the filter indicator turnsred,
the filter will need to be changed
soon.
Replacement filters can be ordered
from Miele.
– When the red filter indicatorflashes,
