• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst
when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even
explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine
etc. in the freezer.
• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do
not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamina-
tion of other frozen goods occurs.
Important! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands
could freeze to the food.
1. Place the food to be frozen on the rack of the freezer compartment.
Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the fro-
zen food could begin to defrost.
2. Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolu-
tely necessary.
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.
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 a plastic scraper, whene-
ver the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it
is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the food-
stuffs.
