designed for making ice cubes. It is not recommended for
the storage of frozen food.

To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and place it
in the ice box. To remove ice cubes easily, run water on the
tray before gently twisting and inverting the tray.

The de-icing system for the fridge compartment is automatic
in models WIM1200, and vertical fridges WRM1300
and WRM2400. The rear inside of the fridge is covered
with frost when the compressor operates and de-ices
when it stops. When the ice melts, the water evaporates
automatically. WIM1000 achieves its cooling from the
ice box.

The ice box compartment must always be de-iced when the layer
o frost reaches a thickness of about 4mm. This compartment
should be de-iced at least once a year regardless of the thickness
of the frost. Model WIM1000 has the added feature of a drip
tray to collect the water. When de-icing, a scraper or plastic
utensil may be used. Never use metal instruments or electrical
appliances to de-ice the ice box.
1. Switch off and disconnect the appliance.
2. Remove the plug from the drain
(Model WIM1200 – diagram below)
3. Models WIM1200, WRM1300 and WRM2400 have an
additional 'Drain Peg' supplied with this user manual. Use
the drain peg to ensure the drain hole is not blocked before
defrosting (see diagram below). Do not leave the drain peg
in the drain hole.
4. Place a container underneath the drain hole to collect
the water.
5. To speed up the process, you can place a bowl of hot water
inside the compartment and close the door.
6. When de-icing is complete, clean the appliance before
restoring the power.
