Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as

possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy

microorganisms which rapidly activate after defrosting and make

foods perishable.

Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food, especially

fruits, vegetables and readymade meals.

Remove the cap from ice tray (certain models only) and ﬁ ll it to

the mark with ﬁ ltered cold water. Close it and place it on the door

shelf. Ice tray can freeze 8 cubes.

It is recommended to make ice on stock.

Ice cubes are discharged from the tray by turning the tray upside

down and placing it under cold running water. Shake the tray,

open the cover and pour the ice out.

Defrosting frozen food

Making ice

The appliance needs no special defrosting procedure, because

ice deposited at the inner back wall is defrosted automatically.

Ice deposited on the inner back wall during the compressor

operation is defrosted when the compressor stops operating,

and condensed water drops are drained through the outlet in the

inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor

where it evaporates. In case of excessive ice deposits at the

inner rear wall of the refrigerator (3-5 mm), switch the appliance

off by pressing the ON/OFF button and defrost it manually.

• Clean the freezer when the frost layer in the freezer reaches

thickness of around 3-5 mm.

• 24 hours prior defrosting fresh food activate intensive freezing

knob (see section Control of particular models - Intensive

freezing), to quickly freeze freshly inserted food. After that

empty the freezer and take care that the packages remain

frozen.

• Switch the appliance off by turning the temperature selector

(A) to the mark

• To drain defrost water pull the funnel shaped groove at the

bottom of the appliance out, and place a convenient vessel

underneath to collect the defrost water.

• Never use powered appliances to defrost the freezer (hair

dryer, etc.).

• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to

the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.
