6. Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray to 4/5 with drinking water, and place the ice
tray on the ice-tray shelf. Wipe off any excess water to
prevent the ice tray from freezing to the surface.
To speed up the making of ice cubes, turn the thermostat
to position „MAX" for a short while. Remember to turn the
dial to its normal setting when the ice cubes are frozen.
To remove the cubes from the ice tray, hold it under running
water. The ice cubes can now be taken out easily.
7. Useful suggestion
Do not overfill the appliance.Put warm foods and drinks in
the appliance only when they have cooled down to room
temperature. It is advisable to leave some space between
the products in the cabinet to ensure efficient and even
cooling. If the shelves are packed too tightly there may be
unacceptable temperature variations.
8. Defrosting, cleaning and
maintenance
Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces and it must
not be allowed to become too thick since it acts as an
insulator and interferes with the cooling.
This frost-formation is kept back by the FUZZY LOGIC
system built into the appliance by switching off the unit for
two hours in every 24 hours. The frost will melt and the
defrost water will run through the drain tube from the drip
channel into an evaporating vessel located at the bottom
rear of the refrigerator at all models. (Fig. 6.) The defrost
water will evaporate automatically into the circulating air and
the vessel will not need emptying manually.
If we want to switch off the unit, turn the thermostat knob to
"0", disconnect the refrigerator from the electricity supply
and leave the cabinet door open. After defrosting the
cabinet interior should be wiped out with a clean, damp
cloth.
In the case of increased air humidity, frost may form on the
cooling ribs. Should the frost layer attain a thickness of
approximately 3 mm, the refrigerator must be defrosted to
avoid impairing the performance level.

9. Changing the lightbulb
If the lightbulb needs changing, pull out the plug and
proceed as follows:
Press the metal reflector to one side and draw the lamp
covering backwards. Replace the bulb and push the
