Frozen food Symbols/Freezing Calendar
• The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.
• The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate
types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indi-
cated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and
pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with
high fat content.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer
compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it
under running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer
compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scra-
per supplied.
Defrosting
Refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigera-
tor compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during nor-
mal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special
container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor,
where it evaporates.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively cove-
red with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper
provided, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During

Energy Saving Tips
• Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources
of continuous warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer,
more frequent operation of the compressor.
• Ensure sufficient air circulation at the appliance base and at the back
wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to
cool first.
• Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary.
• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food
will then be used to cool the fridge.
Accumulation of dust on the condenser increases energy consump-
tion. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the
appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. Ensure
the appliance is switched off.
