Making ice cubes
A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice cubes. Fill the tray ¾ full with drinking water and
place it in the freezer compartment. The ice cubes are easier to remove from the tray if the tray is left
standing at room temperature for 5 minutes.
De-frosting and cleaning
–
Always remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
–
Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
–
For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of warm water with some mild detergent. To
prevent any unpleasant odour within the refrigerator, it should be cleaned about once a month.
–
Any accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy water. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
–
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions or any cleaning agents that contain alcohol.
–
After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces again with fresh water before wiping them
completely dry. When re-inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you have dry hands.
–
To save energy, the compressor and the condenser (at the rear) should be cleaned carefully at
least twice a year with a brush or vacuum cleaner.
–
Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the cabinet during cleaning.
De-frosting the freezer compartment:
Once the build-up of ice has reached a thickness of 2-4 mm, the freezer compartment must be
de-frosted. It should be cleaned at least twice a year as described below.
–
Ensure that the plug has been removed from the wall socket.
–
Remove all food from the compartment, wrap it in newspaper and store it in a cool place to keep
the temperature down. Note that, even with a slight increase in temperature, the storage life will
be shortened and the food should be used as soon as possible.
–
Keep the door open. To accelerate defrosting, one or several containers with hot (but not boiling)
water may be placed inside the freezer compartment.
Warning: do not use any external device or other means (e.g. heaters or heating fans) to
accelerate de-frosting.
–
After cleaning, ensure that the freezer compartment is thoroughly dry; set the temperature
control to its maximum position. After 24 hours, the temperature control can be set back to its
original position.
Defrosting the refrigerator cabinet
The integral vapouriser is sealed in foam in the rear wall; you may therefore notice a build-up of
frost around the rear area. This layer of frost will start melting when the compressor is not working.
Through a system of hoses, the melt-water drains into the collection tray below the compressor,
where it will be absorbed into the surrounding air. The unit does not therefore require de-frosting,
but only proper cleaning instead.
To enable the melt-water to drain freely, always ensure that the channel and discharge opening in
the cabinet are free of any blockage.
