Filling The Water Tank - Siemens KA90I Serie Gebrauchs- Und Montageanleitung

Points to observe when switching on for
the first time
The ice and water dispenser only functions when there
is water in the water tank.
After the appliance is first switched on, it takes roughly
24 hours for the first portion of ice cubes to be
produced.
When the water tank is first filled, there are still air
bubbles in the pipes.
Draw off and throw away the drinking water until there
are no longer any air bubbles in the water dispensed.
Discard the first 5 glasses of water.
When the ice-cube maker is used for the first time, for
hygiene reasons the first 30 - 40 ice cubes should not
be used.
Notes on using the ice-maker
Once the freezer compartment has reached its freezing
temperature, water is fed into the ice-maker and freezes
into ice cubes inside. When ready, the ice cubes are
automatically discharged into the ice-cube container.
After the appliance is first switched on, it takes roughly
24 hours for the first portion of ice cubes to be
produced.
Sometimes, the ice cubes may stick together. They
usually come apart of their own accord when fed to the
dispenser spout.
When the ice-cube container is full, the ice-maker
switches off automatically.
The ice-maker can make roughly 140 ice cubes in a
period of 24 hours depending on the ambient
temperature, the appliance setting and the tank volume.
When ice cubes are being made, the sound of the
water valve humming, the water running into the ice tray
and the ice cubes dropping into the container can be
heard.
Observing the drinking water quality
All materials used to manufacture the water dispenser
are odourless and tasteless.
If the water has an after-taste, this may be caused by
the following:
The mineral and chlorine content of the drinking
■
water.
The freshness of the drinking water. If water has not
■
been dispensed for a long period of time, the water
may taste "stale". In such cases, clean water tank
and fill with fresh drinking
We recommend to clean the water tank and to fill it with
fresh drinking water regularly. This will maintain the
best water quality.
