1.
Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the upper
drawer. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the
frozen food could begin to defrost.
2.
Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible. Index
tabs are supplied for placing on drawers. To mark the contents of the indi-
vidual drawers, press the index tab over the corresponding symbol (see "Fro-
zen Food Symbols/Freezer Calendar" section). This will give you a better
overview of the contents, avoid extended door opening and therefore save
electricity.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1.
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer com-
partment and leave to freeze.
2.
To loosen the frozen cubes, either twist the ice cube tray or hold it under
running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer com-
partment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.
Defrosting
Refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at
the back of the appliance, located over the motor compressor, where it
evaporates.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with
frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided,
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it
is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1.
Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of new-
spaper and put it in a very cool place.
2.
Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug or turn the temperature
selector to “0” OFF.
3.
Leave the freezer compartment door open.
