The quality of the food is best preserved when it is
frozen right through to the core as quickly as
possible. Do not exceed the freezing capacity of
your appliance in 24 h. Placing warm food into the
freezer compartment causes the refrigeration
machine to operate continuously until the food is
frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive
cooling of the refrigeration compartment. When
freezing fresh food, keep the setting knob at
medium position. Small quantities of food up to 1/2
kg. (1 lb.) can be frozen without adjusting the
temperature control knob. Take special care not to
mix already frozen food and fresh food.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full 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
(Item 6). 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 cleared with a pipe-cleaner or similar
implement. 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 (Item 7).
B) Freezer compartment
The NO FROST type defrost is completely
automatic. No intervention from your side is
required. The water is collected on the
compressor tray. Due the heat of the compressor
the water is evaporated.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or
other such electrical appliances for defrosting.
Warnings!
The fan inside the freezer compartment circulates
cold air. Never insert any object through the guard.
Do not allow children to play with the freezer fan.
Never store products that contain inflammable
propellant gas (e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc.)
or explosive substances.
Don't cover the shelves with any protective
materials, which may obstruct air circulation. Do
not allow children to play with the appliance or
tamper with the controls. Do not obstruct the
freezer fan guard to ensure that you obtain the
best possible performance from your appliance
(Item 8).
Warning!
Your appliance is fitted with a circulating fan which
is essential for the performance of the freezer.
Please ensure the fan is not blocked (stopped) or
impaired by food or packaging. Blocking (stopping)
or impairing the fan can result in an increase of the
internal freezer temperature (Thawing).
