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 (1).
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.
B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very straightforward and without mess, thanks to a special defrost collection
basin. Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start
the defrosting procedure, switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the
mains plug. All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool
place (e.g. fridge or larder). Containers of warm water may be placed carefully in the
freezer to speed up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects, such as knives or forks to remove the
frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting.
Sponge out the defrost water collected in the bottom of the freezer compartment. After
defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly.
Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.
