Preparation of Ice Cubes
0

water, place it in the freezer 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.

Never try to free an ice tray that is
frozen to the freezer compartment using pointed
or sharp edged objects. Use a spoon handle or
similar.
Defrosting your Appliance
Fridge
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 defrost water is collected in the drain chan-
nel on the rear of the fridge, fed through the
drain hole into the collection compartment in the
base and then evaporated.
Freezer compartment
During use and when the freezer compartment
door is opened, moisture is deposited in the
freezer compartment as frost. Under no circum-
stances use hard or pointed objects to remove
frost.
The freezer compartment should be defrosted
regularly (approximately every two month) or
when a layer of frost accumulates (approx. 4
mm).
