Preparation of Ice Cubes
☞1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze.
2.To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects, since you may damage the refrigerating circuit. Use the plastic scraper.
Defrosting
The Fridge Defrosts Automatically
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost evaporates by itself.
The water drainage hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section "Cleaning and Care").
Defrosting the Freezer Compartment
During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, mois- ture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. Remove this frost from time to time with the soft plastic scraper. Under no circum- stances use hard or pointed objects to remove frost.
The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres; however at least once a year. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty or contains only a small amount of food.
Warning!
•Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the excep- tion of those recommended in these operating instructions.
•Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health and/or contain substances that damage plastics.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food causing skin abrasions.
