Making ice cubes
Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and
place it in the freezer.
As soon as the water has turned into ice, you
can take out the ice cubes.
Never use sharp objects such as knives or
forks to remove the ice cubes. There is a risk
of injury!
Let the ice cubes slightly thaw instead, or put
the bottom of the tray in hot water for a short
moment.
Defrosting of the device
Excessive build-up of ice will affect the freezing
performance of your device.
It is therefore recommended that you defrost
your device at least twice a year, or whenever
the ice build-up exceeds 7 mm.
Defrost your device when there is only little or
no food in it.
Take out the deep-frozen food. Wrap the deep-
frozen food in several layers of paper, or a
blanket, and keep it in a cold place.
Unplug the device or shut off or remove the
fuse to start the defrosting process.
Take out the accessories (like shelf, drawer
etc.) from the device and use a suitable
container to collect the thawing water.
Use a sponge or a soft cloth to remove thawing
water if necessary
(Fig. 6)
.
Keep the door open during defrosting.
For quicker defrosting, place containers with
warm water inside the device.
Never use electrical appliances, defrosting
sprays or pointed or sharp-edged objects such
as knives or forks to remove the ice.
After the defrosting is done, clean the inside
(see the section “Cleaning and Care”).
Reconnect the device to the mains. Place the
frozen food in the drawers and inside the
freezer.
Freezing
Freezing food
The freezing area is marked with
this symbol.
You can use the device for freezing fresh food
as well as for storing pre-frozen food
Please refer to the recommendations given
on the packaging of your food.
Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the freezing liquid
may burst the bottle.
Be careful with frozen products such as
coloured ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 h. See Technical Features
leaflet.
In order to maintain the quality of the food, the
freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not be
exceeded, and the temperature inside the
freezer will not rise.
Attention
Keep the already deep-frozen food always
separated with freshly placed food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling
compressor will work until the food is completely
frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive
cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
If you find the freezer door difficult to open just
after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is
due to the pressure difference which will
equalize and allow the door to open normally
after a few minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing
the door. This is quite normal.
