Ice trays

This new concept for ice trays is exclusive to us. The fact
that they are situated on the inner door of the freezer
compartment ensures greater ergonomics and cleanliness,
the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed
inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of
the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole
after filling with water is also provided).

To remove the ice trays from
their housings, push the tray
upwards and then pull it out
(fig. 5). To put the tray back
in place, insert the top part
into the special housing and,
once in a vertical position, just
let it drop into place.

Instructions for use 

(Fig. 6)

Fill up the tray with water via the special hole up to the level
indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to overfill it,
inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the formation
of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice cubes.
If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will
have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the tray and
re-fill it with water.
Once you have filled the ice tray up with water through the
hole indicated, turn it by 90 °. Thanks to the connected
compartments, the water fills up the special shapes, after
which you can cover the hole up with the special cap  and
place the ice tray in the inner door of the freezer compartment.

Once the ice has formed, all you need to do is to knock the
tray against a hard surface so that the ice cubes come away
from their housing and come out of the same hole used to fill
the tray  with water. To make it easier for the ice cubes to
come out, wet the outside of the tray.
WARNING:

 every time you fill up the ice tray with water ,

make sure that the same is completely empty and that there
are no traces of ice left inside it.
The minimum time required for ice to form well is approximately
8 hours.
