Ice Maker Operation
WARNING
• Failure to follow instructions regarding sanitizing can
compromise the hygienic safety of the ice dispensed.
Do not connect the refrigerator to a water supply that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable
cysts.
• Do not activate the ice maker unless the water supply line is
connected to the appliance and the water valve is on.
• Do not place hands or fingers near the ice maker when it is
turned on.
• The filter must be changed when indicated on the control
panel or when the ice maker has not been used for more
than 30 days.
• When using the appliance for the first time and every time
the filter is changed, discard the first container full of ice
produced.
• Do not place any bottles or food in the ice cube container.
The ice maker may become blocked or damaged.
Using the Ice Maker for the First Time
1. Make sure the ice maker is off (the ICE key is not lit). If the
ice maker is on, Tap the ICE key, located on the main control
panel, until the light goes off.
2. Perform a manual clean. See page 14.
3. Open the glass panel inside the top of the refrigerator
compartment by pushing up and back on both sides of the
plastic frame surrounding it, then lowering it down.
4. Remove the packaging on the supplied water lter cartridge
and insert it into the lter head, located either to the right or
left of the lighting system. Gently rotate the lter clockwise
1/4 turn, until it locks into place.
Operation
5. Tap the SELECT and ICE keys at the same time until
Filter Reset OK appears on the display.
6. Reinstall the glass panel by pushing it up into place until it
stops, then pulling the plastic frame at the sides, toward you.
7. The ice container is located in the upper drawer of the
freezer compartment. After removal, make sure to reposition
it correctly, as shown.
Ice Maker Operation
Tap the ICE key to turn ON or OFF. The button is lit when the ice
maker is ON.
NOTES
• The ice maker will only produce ice with the FreshZone
freezer compartment set to freezer mode.
• 12 to 24 hours are required after activation before ice
production can begin. The ice maker normally produces 10
cubes per cycle, at approximately 10 cycles in 24 hours.
The ice maker produces ice until the ice container is full and
then stops. It restarts when ice cubes are removed.
• The yield may be reduced by a lower freezer temperature
setting, higher room temperature or frequent door opening.
• The size of the ice cubes produced is adjustable. See Set
Cube Size on page 12.
• Turn off the ice maker using the
ICE key
whenever the
water supply valve is turned off.
• It is normal for some ice cubes to stick to one another.
• If the ice is not used frequently, it is best to empty the ice
container once every 8-10 days. If the ice is not frequently
used, the older cubes can become cloudy, and will have a
strange flavor.
• Switch off the ice maker when removing the ice container.
• The ice maker automatically deactivates if Holiday Mode is
activated.
• If the appliance has been switched off for a month or more,
Dacor recommends performing a manual clean cycle (see
page 14).
• Ice cubes which have been in the ice cube container for a
long time may absorb odors. To prevent odors:
◊ Clean the ice container periodically (see page 13).
◊ Check the contents of the freezer for spoiled or
out-of-date food regularly. Wrap all odorous foods
thoroughly or store in airtight containers.
◊ Change the water filter at recommended intervals (see
page 23). Also check the quality of the water supply.
