The qualityof the food is best preserved when it is
frozen right through to the core asquickly as
possible. Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 h. Placingwarm food in the freezer
compartment causesthe compressor to operate
continously until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive coolingof the
refrigeration compartment.When freezingfresh food,
keep the thermostat control at the medium position.
Small quantities of foodup to 1/2 kg (1 lb) can be
frozen without adjusting the thermostat control.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 with water and place it in
the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with a spoon
handle or a similar instrument; never use sharp-
edged objects such as knives or forks.

The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.
The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a
collection container at the back of the appliance.
Check that the tube is permanently placed with
its end in the collecting tray on the compressor to
prevent the water spilling on the electric
installation or on the floor (Fig. 6).
B) Freezer compartment
As this appliance is supplied with the NO FROST
feature it means that the defrosting is completely
automatic. No intervention from your side is
requiered. The water is collected on the
compressor tray. Due to the heat of the
compressor the water is evaporated.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other
such electrical appliances for defrosting.
