Preparation of Ice Cubes

1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer

compartment and leave to freeze.

2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend 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

compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper

supplied.

During use and when the door is opened, moisture is deposited as frost

inside the appliance, particularly on the evaporator melts. This frost

must be removed from time to time using the soft plastic scraper sup-

plied. Under no circumstances use hard or pointed objects for this pur-

pose.

The freezer should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has

reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres. Defrost should be carried

out once a year regardless of the amount of frost that has built up. A

good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty or contains

only little food.

Each temperature rise reduces the keeping qualities of your frozen

food. Around 12 hours before defrosting your freezer, switch over to

freeze to build up a low temperature reserve in the frozen food.

Warning!

• Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or

artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process.

• Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health

and/or contain substances that damage plastics.

Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could

stick to the food and can cause skin abrasions.

1. Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store

it, covered, in a cool place.

2. Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off

the circuit breaker.

3. Remove all drawers except the bottom one. The bottom drawer serves

as a practical container to collect the water from the thawing ice.
