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. Use the ice scra- per supplied.
Defrosting
Refrigerator
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the motor compres- sor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively cove- red with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, comple- te defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1.Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a very cool place.
2.Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug or turn the tem- perature selector to Ò0Ó OFF.
3.Leave the freezer compart- ment door open.
4.Insert the plastic scraper into the recess provided under the defrost water channel and pla- ce a collecting basin under it.
5.Once defrosting is completed keep the scraper for future use.
