6. Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray to 4/5 with drinking water, and place the ice
tray on the ice-tray shelf. Wipe off any excess water to
prevent the ice tray from freezing to the surface.
To speed up the making of ice cubes, turn the thermostat to
position „MAX” for a short while. Remember to turn the dial
to its normal setting when the ice cubes are frozen.
To remove the cubes from the ice tray, hold it under running
water. The ice cubes can now be taken out easily.
7. Useful suggestion
Do not overfill the appliance. It is advisable to leave some
space between the products in the cabinet to ensure
efficient and even cooling. If the shelves are packed too
tightly there may be unacceptable temperature variations.
8. Defrosting, cleaning and
maintenance
Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces and it must
not be allowed to become too thick since it acts as an
insulator and interferes with the cooling.
Fuzzi logic and times switch defrosting (fig. 4)
This frost-formation is kept back by the FUZZY LOGIC system
built into the appliance by switching off the unit for two
hours in every 24 hours. The frost will melt and the defrost
water will run through the drain tube from the drip channel
into an evaporating vessel located at the bottom rear of the
refrigerator at all models. (Fig. 6.) The defrost water will
evaporate automatically into the circulating air and the vessel
will not need emptying manually.
Figure 5.
Semi-automatic defrosting (fig. 5)
A semi-automatic defrosting model device can be identified
by the push -button in the centre of the thermostat dial. To
defrost, push in the button in the centre of the thermostat
dial but do not turn the dial to another position-leave it at its
usual setting.
Close the door.
The defrost button will stay in and the cooling unit will
remain switched off until the frost has melted. The defrost
button will then automatically spring out to its normal
position and the refrigerator will start work again. The
time taken to defrost will depend on the amount of frost
to be removed and the room temperature.
If we want to switch off the unit, turn the thermostat knob
to "0", disconnect the refrigerator from the electricity
supply and leave the cabinet door open. After defrosting
the cabinet interior should be wiped out with a clean,
damp cloth.
In the case of increased air humidity, frost may form on
the cooling ribs. Should the frost layer attain a thickness
of approximately 3 mm, the refrigerator must be
defrosted to avoid impairing the performance level. Even
if this is not the case, the (**) freezer compartment must
be defrosted on a regular basis following heavy ice
formation every 2-3 months. This is carried out as follows:
- Set the thermostat at „0”, disconnect at the mains,
remove food and ice dish and leave the doors open.
Do not expose the refrigerator to external heat and do
not attempt to scratch away the frost with sharp
objects.
- The drained water runs in a groove and from there
continues along a pipe through the refrigerator's rear
panel and into a collection container on the cooling
unit, where the water evaporates by itself (fig. 6.).
Should the frost layer become very thick, there is a
danger of the collection basin overflowing. In this case
the water should be absorbed by a cloth placed under
the ribs. The water in the freezer compartment should
also be absorbed by a cloth.
- Following defrosting, the refrigerator should be wiped
dry with a cloth, reconnected and the food returned.
However, you should wait until the following day
before freezing ice cubes.
9. Reversing the door hang
(Fig. 6-7)
The direction the door opens can be transferred from one
side to the other by carrying out the following steps:
disconnect at the mains
lay the refrigerator down carefully on its back
remove the lower hinge ‚ and detach the door
remove the two upper left-hand screws and detach
the covering plate ƒ by pulling it forward
detach the upper hinge and mount it on the opposite
side
remove the hinge bolt and screw it in from below
insert the covering plate in the upper right-hand
corner by pushing it in and secure it with the two
screws
position the door on the upper hinge bolt and mount
the lower hinge
ensure the door can move freely and the seal is
correctly positioned.
Remove the hinge plate „ and mount it on the
opposite side
