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 (1).
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.
B) Freezer compartment
We recommend you to defrost the freezer compartment at least twice a year or when the ice layer
is too thick.
Before defrosting, put the thermostat knob on the highest position so that the food get more cold.
During this time the temperature of the refrigerator must not be too low.
- Unplug the appliance.
- Take out the frozen food, wrap them in several sheets of paper and put them in a cool place.
- Leave the door open for a quick defrosting and place inside vessels with warm water (max. 80
0
C).
•
Ice build-up is a normal phenomenon.
•
The quantity and the frequency of ice build-up depends on the ambient conditions and of the
frequency of door opening.
•
The ice build-up, especially in the upper side of the compartment, is a natural phenomenon and
does not affect the good operation of the appliance.
•
It is advisable to defrost the appliance when the quantity of food is the minimum.
