Avanti RA758WT  Interior Light,  Defrosting Your Appliance,  Using Your Ice Cube Trays

Interior Light

When you open the door the light will be ON automatically. When you close the door the light will turn OFF automatically.

Defrosting Your Appliance

When? For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the appliance compartment when the frost on the appliance walls is excessive or ¼ inch thick. There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted automatically. Ice is depositing on the inner back wall during the compressor operation; later on, when the compressor is not operating ice is defrosting and water drops collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates.

How?

CAUTION

Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty. We recommend using the plastic scraper.

A few hours before defrosting set the thermostat to position 5, so foods are well frozen.

Reset the thermostat to 0 position and disconnect the power supply.

Remove the frozen food from the appliance and place it in a cooler to protect the food.

Leave the door open for a while so that you can easy scrape off the frost.

Use a plastic scraper but be careful not to damage the inner surfaces of the freezer.

Wipe up the scraped frost and ice before it is completely defrosted.

Using Your Ice Cube Trays

Recommended thermostat setting for ice making is position 5.

Fill the ice cube tray (two thirds of it) with cold water or with any liquid suitable for freezing and place the tray on the bottom of the freezer to freeze properly.

Dry the tray, otherwise it may stick to the bottom of the freezer.

The best method to get ice cubes out of the tray is to hold the tray under cold tap water for a second.

To eject the ice cubes from the trays, place over the ice bucket and twist slightly

.

Freezer Compartment

Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of freezing the food or string of the frozen foods.

Carefully select food you intend to freeze; it should be of adequate quality and suitable for freezing.

Use correct packaging and wrap it right.

The packaging should be airtight and shouldn’t leak since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration of foods.

Foils and bags should be soft enough to tightly wrap around the foods.

When preparing foods to be frozen, consider sanitary precautions.

Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods and the date of loading.

It is most Important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible.

If the loading amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods.
