Preparation of Ice Cubes Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds.
Page 23: Defrosting
Under no circumstances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose. The freezer should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres. Defrost should be carried out once a year regardless of the amount of frost that has built up. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty or contains only little food.
Page 24: Switching Off The Appliance
Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position "0". Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect from the electricity supply. Defrost freezer and clean thoroughly (see section: “Defrosting and Cleaning”). Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours. Cleaning and Care For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior acces- sories, should be cleaned regularly.
