HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT
HOW TO DEFROST THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 with water and place it at the bottom
of the freezer compartment. To speed up the ice making
process, place the tray on the bottom of the first drawer
(as shown in the figure) and not on the ice pack rack
(if provided).
If the tray sticks to the bottom of the compartment, do not
use pointed or sharp instruments to detach it.
Defrost the freezer compartment once or twice a year,
or when the ice on the walls reaches a thickness of about
3 mm. If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly
empty.
1.
24 hours before defrosting, press the fast freeze button
(4)
.
The yellow LED lights up. This brings the foods to the
lowest possible temperature.
2.
Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in a newspaper and
group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler.
3.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply.
4.
Remove the ice-cube tray.
5.
Remove the baskets.
6.
Pull out the defrost water drain from the base of the freezer
compartment.

drain plug (depending on model), place a container
(or the lower basket, depending on model) under the drain
to collect the defrost water as shown in the figure.
8. Note:
In order to avoid permanent damage to the freezer
interior, do not use sharp or pointed metal instruments to
scrape off ice; do not heat the freezer compartment
artificially. Any damage to the appliance resulting from failure
to observe these instructions is not covered by the guarantee.

Clean the freezer compartment using a sponge dampened in
a solution of warm water and neutral detergent. Do not use
abrasive products.

Reconnect the appliance to the power supply.
12.
Refit the drain in place and reposition the baskets.
13.
Before putting the food back in the freezer compartment,
press the freeze button
(4)
again and leave it ON for
approx. 3 hours. For models without freeze button
(4)
,
turn the thermostat knob
(5)
to position 3 for approx.
4 hours before putting food back in the freezer.
After 4 hours turn the thermostat knob to the habitual
position.
Note:
Any increase in temperature of frozen food durin
defrosting can shorten its storage life.
