Preparation of Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer
compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it
under running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer
compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scra-
per supplied.
Defrosting
Refrigerator
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the motor compres-
sor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a
trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the
motor compressor, where it evaporates.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively cove-
red with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper
provided, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During
this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to
remove the foodstuffs.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, comple-
te defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1. Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a very cool place.
2. Switch off the appliance and
pull out the plug or turn the tem-
perature selector to Ò0Ó OFF.
3. Leave the freezer compart-
ment door open.
4. Insert the plastic scraper into
the recess provided under the
defrost water channel and pla-
ce a collecting basin under it.
5. Once defrosting is completed
keep the scraper for future
use.
