INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF THE CHALK BOX
This appliance comes with a detachable chalk box. Attach it to the bottom of the fridge compartment door to store chalks.
You can write and draw on the appliance front with chalks (not supplied).
1. Open the fridge door.
2. Attach the chalk box to the bottom of the fridge door.
 Align two big holes on the bottom of the chalk box with the screws on the bottom of the fridge door.
3. Slide the chalk box in the arrow direction until it locks in place.
MAKING ICE CUBES
Fill the ice cube tray (not supplied) with ¾ full of drinking water and place in the freezer compartment.
If the ice cube tray is stuck to the compartment, loosen with a blunt tool only.
To loosen the ice cubes, twist the ice cube tray slightly or hold briefly under flowing water.
DEFROSTING
Refrigerator compartment defrosts fully automatically
While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of condensation or hoarfrost from at the back of the refrigerator compartment.
This is normal. It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost. The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation
runs into the condensation channel and is conveyed to the refrigerating unit where it evaporates.
Note: Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean, so that the condensation can run out.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically, otherwise the frozen food would start thawing.
A layer of frost in the freezer compartment impairs refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption. Remove the layer of hoarfrost
regularly.
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife or pointed object. Doing this may damage the refrigerant tubes.
1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.
2. Set the temperature control knob to the 0 position and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
3. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a stand in the freezer compartment.
4. Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
5. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
6. Plug in the appliance and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.
7. Put the frozen food back in the freezer compartment.
