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 icecubes 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 defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection container at the back of the appliance (1). 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 pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube (2). Please flush with approximately 100ml of warm tap water, to ensure that the water drains. If the blockage is still present, use a suitable "refrigerator drain cleaning tool", and flush with approximately 100ml of warm tap water. NOTE: Do not flush with excessive water, this will cause the evaporator tray at the back of the appliance to overflow and cause a leak. If the problem persists please contact service. Check that the tube is permanently placed with its end in the collecting tray on the compressor to prevent the water spilling. B) Freezer compartment Defrosting is very straightforward and without mess, thanks to a special defrost collection basin. Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start the 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). Containers 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 or forks to remove the frost. Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting. Sponge out the defrost water collected in the bottom of the freezer compartment. After defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. 9
