Preparation of Ice Cubes

2.Press the fast freeze button 24 hours before introducing fresh food for free- zing of fresh food. The yellow light comes on.

3.Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.

Preparation of Ice Cubes

1.Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer com- partment 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 com- partment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.

Ice pack

There are two ice packs in one drawer of the freezer.

In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice packs will lengthen the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by several hours. The ice packs can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use the ice packs for cooling cold bags.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment, however, will become progrssively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whe- never the tickness 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, complete defrosting should be carried out as follows:

1.Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of new- spaper and put it in a very cool place.

2.Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug, or remove or unscrew the safety fuses.

3.Leave the freezer compartment door open.

If the socket is not accessible once the appliance is built in, the electrical installation must include suitable means of isolating the appliance from the mains (e.g. fuse, cut-out, current trip or similar with a minimum contact separation of 3 mm).

Attention: The mains connection cable may only be replaced by a skilled electrician. Please contact your dealer or our customer service department for repairs.
