Freezing Fresh Food; Making Ice Cubes; Defrosting - Beko CS5342APW Installation, Operation & Food Storage Instructions

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best
preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h.
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration machine to
operate continously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to
excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food, keep the thermostat knob at medium position. Small
quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without adjusting the temperature
control knob.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

MAKING ICE CUBES

Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the Ice Bank. Loosen frozen
trays with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks.
Store ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.
Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks and stored in Ice
Bank, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.

DEFROSTING

A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The
defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection
container at the back of the appliance.
During defrosting, water droplets may form at the
back of the fridge compartment where a concealed
evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain
on the liner and refreeze when defrosting is
completed. Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects such as knives or forks to remove the
droplets which have refrozen.
If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain
from the collection channel, check that no food
particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain
tube can be cleared with a pipe-cleaner or
Pushing the special plastic plunger provided
down the drain tube (2).
Check that the tube is permanently placed with its
end in the collecting tray on the compressor to
prevent the water spilling. If the frost layer
reaches about 1/4'' (7 mm), reduce the setting
(i.e. from 4 to 1) to restart automatic defrosting.
