Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 with water and place it
in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with a spoon
handle or a similar implement; never use sharp-
edged objects such as knives or forks.
Defrosting
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.
The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a
collection container at the back of the appliance
(Fig. 5).
During defrosting, water droplets may form at
the back of the fridge compartment where a
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 or forks to
remove the droplets which have refrozen.
If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain
from the collection channel, check that no food
particles have blocked the drain tube.
The drain tube can be cleaned with a cotton bud
or similar instrument.
Check that the tube is permanently placed with
its end in the collecting tray on the compressor to
prevent the water spilling on the electric
installation or on the floor (Fig. 6).
B)
The low temperature compartment:
Defrosting is very straightforward and without
mess, thanks to a special defrost collection
basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of
around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start the
defrosting procedure, switch off the appliance at
the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
All food should be wrapped in several layers of
newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g.
fridge or a larder).
Containers of warm water may be placed
carefully in the freezer to speed up the
defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects,
such as knives or forks to remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other
such electrical appliances for defrosting.
Sponge out the defrost water collected in the
bottom of the freezer compartment. After
defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly (Fig. 7).
Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch
on the electricity supply.
Replacing the interior light bulb
In case that the light bulb is not working it is
easily to replace. First make sure that the
refrigerator / freezer is disconnected from the
power supply by removing the plug.
Please remove the light bulb cover with a
screwdriver.
Ensure that bulb is screwed securely in the
bulb holder. Plug the appliance into the power
supply. If the light still fails, replace E14
screw-cap type 15 Watt (Max) bulb from your
local electrical store and then fit it. Carefully
dispose of the burnt-out light bulb
immediately.
If you have changed the light bulb please fix
the cover again in its former position. Take
care that the cover snaps-in correctly.
Cleaning and care
1. We recommend that you switch off the
appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the
mains plug before cleaning.
2. Never use any sharp instruments or
abrasive substances, soap, household
cleaner, detergent or wax polish for cleaning.
3. Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet
of the appliance and wipe it dry.
4. Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of
one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint
of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
5. Make sure that no water enters the
temperature control box.
6. If the appliance is not going to be used for
a long period of time, switch it off, remove all
food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
7. We recommend that you polish the metal
parts of the product (i.e. door exterior, cabinet
sides) with a silicone wax (car polish) to
protect the high quality paint finish.
8. Any dust that gathers on the condenser,
which is located at the back of the appliance,
should be removed once a year with a
vacuum cleaner.
9. Check door seals regularly to ensure that
they are clean and free from food particles.
