zer compartment and leave to freeze.
0
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 free-
zer compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use a
spoon handle or similar.
Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically
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 is collected in the drain channel
on the rear of the fridge, feed through the drain hole into the col-
lection compartment in the base, and then evaporated.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened,
moisture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost.
Remove this frost from time to time with a soft plastic scraper,
e.g. a pastry scraper. Under no circumstances use hard or poin-
ted 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 little food.

Warning!
• Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechani-
cal or artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with
the exception 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.
