Making Ice Cubes
Fill the ice cube tray supplied with the appliance 3/4
full with water and place it in the two-star
compartment. Turning the thermostat control knob to
a colder setting will speed up this process, but
remember to return to its original position after.
To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its
length.
Normal operating sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when
the refrigerant is pumped to the cooling plate through
the coils or tubing at the rear.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will
hear a faint 'click' when the thermostat cuts in and out.
Defrosting
Regular defrosting is necessary to ensure efficient
operation of the appliance.
It is recommended that the two-star compartment is
defrosted fortnightly or when the frost is more than 4-
5 mm thick.
Frost will build up in the frozen food compartment due
to the moisture in the air which enters the refrigerator
compartment when the door is opened and from
moisture in the stored food.
Empty the two-star compartment.
Push the drip tray into the closed position.
Push in the defrosting button in the centre of the
thermostat control knob.
Leave the appliance door open.
The frost will melt away and the defrost water will
collect in the drip tray.
Place a container beneath the tray and remove the
bung. Remember to replace the bung when the
water has drained away.
Wipe the interior of the two-star compartment dry.
