MAKING ICE CUBES Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the Ice Bank. Loosen frozen trays with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks. Store ice-cubes in the Ice Bank. Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks and stored in Ice Bank, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely. DEFROSTING A) FRIDGE COMPARTMENT The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The defrosting water runs to the drain tube via a collection container at the back of the appliance (1).(see diagram) During defrosting water droplets may form at the back of the fridge compartment where 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, forks to remove the droplets which have frozen. If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check to ensure that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube (2). If the frost layer reaches about 1/4"(7 mm), reduce the setting (i.e. from 4 to 1) to restart automatic defrosting. 20 B) FREEZER COMPARTMENT Defrosting is very easy and without mess thanks to the defrost flip spout coloured turquoise which is placed at the bottom of the freezer. (See diagram) Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed.To start defrosting procedure switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder). Remove all freezer drawers. Fold out the spout, place a bowl underneath the spout to collect the water. Ensure you use a bowl large enough to contain the defrost water. Normally the volume of the bowl should be about 4 (four) litres. Leave the freezer door open. Containers full of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting. Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the frost.Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters and other similar electrical appliances for defrosting.When defrosting has finished, fold back the spout and dry the interior thoroughly. Remove the bowl and empty it. Close the freezer door. Insert the plug in to the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. EN
