Icemaking
Fill the ice-tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the icemaking
compartment, and allow it to freeze. The ice-cubes can be easily loos-
ened by twisting the icetray or by holding it briefly under running
water.
Never loosen the frozen-on ice-tray with sharp or pointed objects,
since you may damage the refrigerating circuit.
Defrosting
☞
The appliance should be defrosted when-
ever a frost layer of around 4 mm builds
on the evaporator.
☞
Before defrosting, empty the icemaking
compartment, ensuring that the thaw
water collector is below the evaporator.
The defrosting knob is located at the cen-
tre of the regulator knob. This is pressed in
until it engages. The setting of the tem-
perature regulator thereby remains
unchanged.
☞
Do not forget to remove the thaw water and to dry the evaporator.
☞
You can accelerate the defrosting process by placing a bowl of warm
water inside the appliance and keeping the door closed.
☞
For safety reasons, no additional heat sources, such as e. g. an electric
heater or the like, should be used during defrosting. When the frost
layer has melted, wipe the surfaces well dry. After the defrosting
process, the refrigerator switches on automatically.
