ICE BOX MODELS – WIM1000 & WIM1200
NOTE: The ice box compartment of the WIM1000 is
recommended for only making ice, it is not for the
storage of frozen food.
Ice making
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.
De-icing
The de-icing system for the fridge compartment is
automatic in models WIM1200, and vertical fridges
WRM1400 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.

De-icing the ice box

The ice box compartment must always be de-iced when
the layer of 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 from the
electricity supply.
2. Remove the plug from the drain (Model WIM1000
diagram below)
3. Place a container underneath the drain hole to
collect the water.
4. To speed up the process, you can place a bowl of hot
water inside the compartment and close the door.
5. When de-icing is complete, clean the appliance
before restoring the power.
