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, since you may
damage the refrigerating circuit. Use the plastic scraper.

utomatically
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is
running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the
thawing frost evaporates by itself.
The water drainage hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section
"Cleaning and Care").
Defrosting the

ompartment
During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, mois-
ture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. Remove this
frost from time to time with the soft plastic scraper. Under no circum-
stances use hard or pointed objects to remove frost.
The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of
frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres; however at least
once a year. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty
or contains only a small amount of food.
Warning!
• Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or
artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the excep-
tion of those recommended in these operating instructions.
• Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health
and/or contain substances that damage plastics.
Caution!
Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could
stick to the food causing skin abrasions.
