Why does the crushed ice/ice cubes field blink and revert to water?
Frequently Asked Questions - 4 d
Response Notice-Facile

This behavior is normal and indicates that the ice dispenser is currently disabled. When you press the "Crushed ice" or "Ice cubes" button and the function is inactive, the screen blinks about 2 times (including the display of the lock symbol) before reverting to water mode, as expected.

How to reactivate the ice dispenser:

  • Press and hold the "Crushed ice/Ice cubes" button for about 3 seconds
  • Once activated, the ice function engages, water mode activates, and the water symbol appears

If the dispenser still does not work:

  • Check that the water supply is properly connected
  • Check the water pressure (should be between 1 and 8 bar)
  • Ensure that the freezer reaches a sufficiently low temperature
  • Wait 24 hours after initial activation for the first ice production

If the problem persists after these checks, contact SIEMENS customer service.

Usable capacity

You will find the details of the usable capacity on the rating plate inside the appliance.

Using the entire freezing capacity

To accommodate the maximum quantity of frozen food, you can remove all of the fittings from inside the appliance. You can then stack the food directly on the shelves and the bottom of the freezer compartment.

How to remove and refit the fittings is described in the section headed Fittings.

Fridge compartment

The fridge compartment is the perfect place for keeping ready meals, bread and pastries, jams and preserves, condensed milk and hard cheeses.

When placing food in the fridge, follow these guidelines:

  • Keep fresh, untouched food in the fridge. In that way it will keep longer and stay fresher. In the case of ready-made products and packaged foods and liquids, pay attention to the manufacturer's specified best-before or use-by date. In order to maintain flavour, colour and freshness, keep food well packed or covered over. That also prevents flavours from mixing and the plastic parts from becoming discoloured in the fridge compartment.
  • Allow warm food and beverages to cool before putting them into the appliance.

Note

Keep food from coming into contact with the rear panel. Otherwise, the air circulation will be impaired.

Food or packaging could also become frozen to the rear panel.

Pay attention to the temperature zones in the fridge compartment

The air circulation produces different temperature zones in the fridge compartment:

■ The coldest zones are close to the rear panel. ■ The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.

Note

Keep items such as hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. That will allow the cheese to continue developing its flavour and the butter will remain spreadable.

Cold storage container

Food can be kept in the cold storage container up to two times longer than in the normal fridge compartment – to keep it fresher for longer and retain its nutritional value and taste.

The temperature can be individually adjusted to suit the food placed inside. Setting the optimum temperature and air humidity ensures the ideal storage conditions for fresh food.

Setting the temperature

Using the selector button, select the type of food that is in the cold storage container.

FreshProtectBox Sub- and cont 时 on & out appout 时 and open buttons

The LED lights up to show the selection made.

The following foods are unsuitable for keeping in the cold storage container:

  • Fruit and vegetables that are sensitive to the cold (e.g. pineapples, bananas, papaya and citrus fruits, aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures between about +8 °C and +12 °C in order to keep their flavour and condition at their best.

The following foods are suitable for keeping in the cold storage container:

■ Fish, seafood, meat, sausage and cold meats, dairy products, ready meals ■ Vegetables (e.g. carrots, asparagus, celery, leeks, beetroot, mushrooms, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, sprouts, kohlrabi) ■ Lettuce varieties (e.g. lamb's lettuce, iceberg, chicory, round lettuce) ■ Herbs (e.g. dill, parsley, chives, basil) ■ Fruit (varieties not sensitive to cold, e.g. apples, peaches, berries, grapes).

Caution

After a power failure or disconnection of the appliance from the mains, the temperature of the cold storage container must be readjusted.

Storage times (at 0 °C)

Depending on initial quality

Fresh fish, seafood meat Up to 3 days
Poultry, meat (cooked) Up to 5 days
Beef, pork, lamb, sausage and cold cuts Up to 7 days
Smoked fish, broccoli Up to 14 days
Lettuce, fennel, apricots, plums Up to 21 days
Soft cheese, yoghurt, quark, buttermilk, cauliflower Up to 30 days

Freezer compartment

Use the freezer compartment for the following:

■ Storing deep-frozen food. ■ Making ice cubes. ■ Freezing food.

Note

Make sure that the freezer compartment door is always closed. When the door is open, the frozen foods defrost and the freezer compartment ices up heavily. In addition, energy is wasted due to power consumption.

Note

The 2-star door pockets can be used to store ice and food at -12 °C for short periods.

The rest of the freezer compartment is 4-star rated.

Max. freezing capacity

You will find information on the maximum freezing capacity in 24 hours on the rating plate.

Conditions for use of max. freezing capacity

■ Switch on the fast freezing function before placing the food in the freezer (see section headed 'Fast freezing'). ■ Remove the freezer compartment fittings. - Stack the food directly on the shelves and the bottom of the freezer compartment.

Note

Do not cover over the ventilation slots in the rear panel with the food you are freezing.

Preferably, large quantities of food for freezing should be placed in the top compartment. There it will freeze quickly and, therefore, without adversely affecting the food quality.

Freezing and storing

Purchasing frozen foods

Packaging must not be damaged. Observe the best before date. The temperature in the commercial chest freezer must be -18 °C or colder. As far as possible, frozen food must be transported in an insulated container and quickly placed in the freezer compartment.

When arranging the food, note the following:

Preferably, large quantities of food for freezing should be placed in the top compartment. There it will freeze quickly and, therefore, without adversely affecting the food quality. Spread the items out well in the compartments/trays.

Note

Food that is already frozen must not come into contact with the food that is to be freshly frozen. If necessary, move already frozen items to other freezer trays.

Storing frozen food

Push the freezer trays in as far as they will go so as to ensure perfect air circulation.

Freezing fresh food

Only use fresh, undamaged food for freezing.

In order to retain the nutritional value, aroma and colour of the food as much as possible, blanch vegetables before they are frozen.

Blanching is not required for aubergines, peppers, courgettes and asparagus.

You can find literature about freezing and blanching in bookshops.

Note

Do not allow food that is to be frozen to sit right next to food that has already been frozen.

The following are suitable for freezing: Baked goods, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without their shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and curd cheese, prepared dishes and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, baked casseroles and sweet foods. The following are not suitable for freezing: types of vegetable that are usually eaten raw, such as lettuces or radishes, eggs in their shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, curds, soured cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food

Pack food so that it is airtight to prevent it from losing its flavour or drying out.

  1. Store food in its packaging.
  2. Press out any air.
  3. Close the packaging tightly.
  4. Label packaging with its contents and date of freezing.

The following are suitable as packaging:

Plastic film, polyethylene hose film, aluminium foil, freezer bags. You will find these products at your specialist dealer.

The following are not suitable as packaging:

Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, rubbish bags and used shopping bags.

The following are suitable for sealing packaging:

Rubber bands, plastic clips, pack-twines, cold-resistant scotch tape, or similar.

Polyethylene bags and hose film can be fused closed using a bag sealer.

Storage life of frozen foods

The storage life depends on the type of food.

At a temperature of -18 °C:

■ Fish, sausages, prepared dishes, baked goods: Up to 6 months. ■ Cheese, poultry, meat: Up to 8 months. ■ Vegetables, fruit: Up to 12 months.

Defrosting frozen food

You can choose between the following options, depending on the type of food and its intended use:

■ at ambient temperature in the fridge ■ in an electric oven, with/without hot air convection In the microwave oven.

Caution

Do not refreeze defrosted food. It can only be refrozen after it has been made into a ready-to-eat meal (cooked or roasted).

Do not continue to use the complete max. storage time for the frozen food.

Ice and water dispenser

Any of the following can be dispensed, as required:

  • chilled water, crushed ice, ice cubes

Warning

Never reach into the ice cube dispenser spout.

There is a risk of injury.

Caution

Never place bottles or food in the ice cube container in an attempt to cool them quickly. You could block and/or damage the ice-maker.

Points to observe when switching on for the first time

The ice and water dispenser only functions when the appliance is connected to the water supply.

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 supply is first connected, 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 and the appliance setting.

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 material that the household plumbing or water mains are made of. 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, draw off and throw away about 15 glasses of water.

We recommend that you regularly draw off a certain amount of water from the water dispenser and do not switch the appliance off. This will maintain the best water quality.

Note

The water filter supplied only filters particles out of the water supply; it does not remove bacteria or microbes.

Dispensing water

  1. Press the "water" button. The display panel shows the "Water" symbol.

Tip

The water from the water dispenser is cooled to a pleasant temperature for drinking. If you prefer the water to be colder, dispense some ice cubes into the glass before drawing the water.

Dispensing ice

Only hold the container against the dispenser lever until the container is half full of ice. Otherwise, the ice in the ice-cube dispenser spout may cause the container to overflow or block the ice cube dispenser spout.

If crushed ice was dispensed before dispensing ice cubes, there may still be some crushed ice in the dispenser spout. It will come out together with the first few ice cubes.

  1. Press the "crushed ice/ice cubes" button until the display shows the "Ice cubes" or "Crushed ice" symbol.

Water filter

Warning

In localities where the water quality is not ideal or not known, do not use the appliance without suitable means of disinfection on the inlet and outlet side of the filter.

Filter cartridges for the water filter can be obtained from After-sales Service.

Caution

■ After fitting a new filter cartridge, always throw away the first 24 hours' worth of ice produced after switching on the ice-maker. If the ice has not been used for an extended period, throw away all the ice cubes in the ice-cube container as well as the ice produced over the next 24 hours. If the appliance has not been used or no ice has actually been dispensed for several weeks or months, or if the ice cubes have an unpleasant taste or smell, change the filter cartridge. Air trapped in the system can cause water to spurt out and eject the filter cartridge. Take care when removing it. ■ The filter cartridge must be replaced at least every 6 months.

Important notes on the water filter

After use, the water system is slightly under pressure. Take care when removing the filter cartridge. If the appliance has not been used for an extended period or the water has an unpleasant taste or smell, flush the water system through. To do so, draw water from the dispenser continuously for several minutes. If the unpleasant taste or smell persists, change the filter cartridge.
