Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 h. Placing warm food into the
freezer compartment causes the refrigeration
machine to operate continously until the food is
frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive
cooling of the refrigeration compartment. When
freezing fresh food, keep the thermostat knob at
medium position. Small quantities of food up to 1/2
kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without adjusting the
temperature control knob. Take special care not to
mix already frozen food and fresh food.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place
it in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with a spoon
handle or a similar implement; never use sharp-
edged objects such as knives or forks.
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
(Item 6). 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 similar
implement. Check that the tube is permanently
placed with its end in the collecting tray on the
compressor to prevent the water spilling on the
electric installation or on the floor (Item 7).
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 (Item 8).
Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on
the electricity supply.
