STORING FROZEN FOOD 

Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of commercially frozen foods and also can be 
used to freeze and store fresh food. 
If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the 
failure lasts for less than 

16

 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and 

either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen. 

FREEZING FRESH FOOD 

Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results. 
Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved 
when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. 
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 Ice Bank. Loosen frozen trays 
with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks. Store ice-
cubes in the Ice Bank. 

Note:

 If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks and stored in Ice 

Bank, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.

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.  
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  
Pushing the special plastic plunger provided 
down the drain tube (2).  
Check that the tube is permanently placed with its end  
in the collecting tray on the compressor to prevent the 
water spilling. If the frost layer 
reaches about 1/4’’ (7 mm), reduce the setting 
(i.e. from 4 to 1)  to restart automatic defrosting.
