Refri2erator (Continued)
The 2-star (**) frozen compartment is intended for the storage of frozen food and for making ice.
It is not suitable for freezing items of food.
Never put bottles or cans of fizzy drinks in the frozen food storage compartment as they may burst
when freezing. Also do not give children iced lollies straight from the compartment as they could
cause frost burns.
Most kind of frozen food can be stored in the frozen food compartment for about a month. This
period of time may vary, however, and it is important to follow the instructions on the individual
packings.

Ice Makin� Fill the ice tray just below the brim with drinking water and put the
tray on the freezer shelf.
It is possible to make ice faster by turning the control knob temporarily to its
highest value but do not forget to turn it back to its regular setting afterwards as the
refrigerator will otherwise become much too cold.
8)
Defrostin�
Frost will gradually accumulate on the refrigerating surfaces. It
must not be allowed to grow too thick as it acts as an insulator and adversely
affects refrigerator performance.
9)
Check the formation of frost regularly every week and when it about 3mm thick it
will be necessary to defrost the refrigerator.
To defrost the refrigerator, turn it off and remove the ice tray and all food items.
If desired, defrosting may be speeded up by filling the ice tray with hot water and
placing it in the frozen food compartment.
Do not try to accelerate defrosting by using any kind of heating appliance as the
plastic surfaces of the refrigerator might then be damaged. Neither should any
sharp objects be used to scrape off the ice.
The defrost water runs from a collector channel down a tube to a drip tray at the
rear of the refrigerator where is evaporates. When all the ice has melted, wipe the
refrigerator dry and restart it.
Place the food items back inside but wait until the refrigerator is cold before
making ice cubes.
