Using the ice cube tray

• 

Fill the ice cube tray two thirds full with cold water, or with any liquid  

suitable for freezing. The recommended thermostat setting for ice making  

is position “7”. 

• 

Place the tray on the bottom of the chiller compartment for freezing. (Make 

sure to dry the tray, otherwise it may stick to the bottom of the chiller).

• 

The best method to get ice cubes out of the tray is to hold the tray under cold 

tap water for a second. Then place it over an ice bucket and twist slightly, as 

illustrated on the right, to eject the ice cubes from the tray. 

NOTE: Due to long-term transit and storage, the first batch of ice cubes must 

be discarded and the ice cube tray thoroughly cleaned and dried after first use.

• 

Empty any water out of the drip tray periodically. Then wash and dry it before 

placing it back underneath the chiller compartment.

The chiller compartment

• 

This compartment is designed for the production of ice cubes and short-term 

storage (3-4 days at most) of some commercially frozen foods. The temperature 

in this compartment does not get cold enough to freeze food safely for long 

periods of time and works best when the food is already frozen.

• 

By design, this chiller compartment is not a true freezer. It may not keep ice 

cream frozen or freeze items. A colder setting may be used for these items, but 

this may also affect other items in the refrigerator.

• 

The chiller door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build-up. This 

part is not covered under your warranty. Be sure to defrost when the ice 

reaches about 5mm in thickness (see page 13 for defrosting instructions). And 

if you continue having problems with ice build-up, adjust the temperature 

control to a lower setting.
