Ice trays
This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent. The fact that they are situated on the inner door of the freezer compartment ensures greater ergonomics and cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided).
Instructions for use (Fig. 2)
Fill up the tray with water via the special hole up to the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to exceed it: inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the formation of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice cubes.
If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the tray and
Once you have filled the ice tray up with water through the hole indicated, turn it by 90 °. Thanks to the connected compartments, the water fills up the special shapes, after which you can cover the hole up with the special cap and place the ice tray in the inner door of the freezer compartment.
Once the ice has formed, all you need to do is to knock the tray against a hard surface so that the ice cubes come away from their housing and come out of the same hole used to fill the tray with water. To make it easier for the ice cubes to come out, wet the outside of the tray.
WARNING: every time you fill up the ice tray with water , make sure that the same is completely empty and that there are no traces of ice left inside it.
The minimum time required for ice to form well is approximately 8 hours.

Energy Saving Tips
- Install the appliance correctly
This means that the appliance should be installed away from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.
- Correct temperature settings
Set the refrigerator or freezer temperature knob to one of the medium settings. Very low temperatures will not only consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve or lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively low tem- perature may in fact spoil vegetables, cold meats and cheese.
- Do not overfill your appliance
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air circulation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent this circu- lation and overwork the compressor.
- Shut the doors
Open your appliance only when strictly necessary; remem- ber that every time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. The motor will have to run, and consume en- ergy, to restore the correct temperature.
- Check the door seals
keep the gaskets clean and soft so that they fit closely against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
- Never store hot foods
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem- perature before storing.
- Check your appliance for build up of ice
Remember to check the walls of the freezer for frost; when the frost becomes too thick, defrost the freezer immediately (See “Maintenance Instructions”).
