Freezing fresh food
Please observe the following instructions to obtain the
best results.
Do not
freeze very large quantities at any one time. The
quality of the food is best preserved when frozen to the
core as quickly as possible.
Do not
place warm food into the freezer. The fridge
section may over cool.
If freezing large quantities of fresh food turn the
temperature control to a higher setting for a few hours
and then return to normal setting. (Up to
0.5 kg
of
food can be frozen without changing the temperature
control setting.)
You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the
freezer.
Making ice cubes
• Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with water and place in
the bottom of one of the freezer drawers or on the
freezer tray.
• If necessary, use a blunt instrument, eg. a spoon
handle to remove the ice tray from the freezer if it is
stuck.
• Ice cubes can be removed easily by twisting the tray
gently or by holding it under cold running water.
Suggestion: Place ice cubes into a freezer bag for long
term storage.
Defrosting fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.
The defrost water runs to the drain tube via the
collection channel at the back of the fridge, see image.
During defrosting water droplets form at the back of
the fridge where the concealed evaporator is located.
Some droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze
when defrosting is completed.
Do not
use pointed
or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks etc. to
remove the droplets which have frozen.
If at any time the defrosted water does not drain
from the collection channel, check to see if the drain
channel has an obstruction. The drain tube can
be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger,
provided, down the drain tube, see image. If there is
an ice build up, lower the temperature control to
1
for
a few hours until the ice melts, then return control to
normal setting.
