the expiry of this date.
Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not
be refrozen.
Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.
MAKING ICE CUBES
Fill the ice cube tray (not supplied) with ¾ full of drinking water and place in the freezer drawer.
If the ice cube tray is stuck to the freezer drawer, loosen with a blunt tool only.
To loosen the ice cubes, twist the ice cube tray slightly or hold briefly under flowing water.
DEFROSTING
Fridge compartment defrosting
The fridge compartment defrosting process is carried out automatically every time the compressor stops.
The defrost water is automatically routed to the drain port and into a tray placed on the top of the
compressor to the rear of the appliance from which it evaporates.
Make sure the drain port on the fridge compartment at the rear of the appliance is kept clear.
