  • a tray can be filled with water outside of a refrigerator and placed in the refrigerator to freeze the water.

  • the object of the present invention is to provide an ice maker which can be quickly and reliably filled with the correct filling quantity or a refrigeration device in which such an ice maker can be used.
  • the object is achieved, on the one hand, by providing an ice maker with at least one tray subdivided into several compartments for producing one piece of ice with a dosing container which has a calibration volume corresponding to the common volume of the compartments or an integral fraction of this volume.
  • a dosing container which has a calibration volume corresponding to the common volume of the compartments or an integral fraction of this volume.
