Preparation of Ice Cubes

0Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze.

0To 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 a spoon handle or similar.

Defrosting your Appliance

Fridge

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 defrost water is collected in the drain chan- nel on the rear of the fridge, fed through the drain hole into the collection compartment in the base and then evaporated.

Freezer compartment

During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, moisture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. Under no circum- stances use hard or pointed objects to remove frost.

The freezer compartment should be defrosted regularly (approximately every two month) or when a layer of frost accumulates (approx. 4 mm).

1Warning!

Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process.

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 freeze to the food.

0Remove frozen food, wrap it in several lay- ers of newspaper and store it, covered, in a cool place.

0Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off of mains.

0Leave the refrigerator door open.

0Defrosting can be speeded up by putting bowls of hot (not boiling) water in the com- partment.

0The interior of the frozen food compart- ment can be wiped out using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and water and then dried as described under "Internal Cleaning"

0Ensure the control dial is in its normal position. SWITCH ON at the electricity supply.

0Replace all fitments and food. Close door.

If the temperature of frozen food is allowed to rise during defrosting, its storage life may be shortened.
