This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of
the refrigerating compartment.
When freezing fresh food, keep the thermostat
control at the medium position. Small quantities
of food up 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.
Defrosting
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.
The thawed water runs to the drain tube via a
collection container at the back of the appliance
(Fig. 6).
During defrosting, water droplets may form at the
back of the fridge compartment where a
concealed evaporator is located. Some droplets
may remain on the liner and refreeze when
defrosting is completed. Do not use pointed or
sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to
remove the droplets which have refrozen.
If, at any time, the thawed water is not drained
from the collection channel, check that no food
particles have blocked the drain tube.
The drain tube can be cleared with a cotton bud
or a similar instrument.
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. 7).
B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very straightforward and without
mess, thanks to a special defrost collection
basin. Defrost the appliance twice a year or
when a frost layer of around 7 (1/4") mm has
formed. To start the defrosting procedure, switch
off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out
the mains plug. All the food should be wrapped
in several layers of newspaper and stored in a
cool place (e.g. a fridge or a larder).
Containers of warm water may be placed
carefully in the freezer to speed up the
defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects,
such as knives or forks to remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other
such electrical appliances for defrosting.
Sponge off the thawed water collected at the
bottom of the freezer compartment. After
defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly (Fig. 8).
Insert the plug into the socket and switch on the
electricity supply.
How to reposition the doors
Proceed in numerical order (Fig. 10).
Replacing the interior light bulb

one teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate to one pint
of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
5. Make sure that no water enters the
thermostat control box.
6. If the appliance is not going to be used for a
long period of time, switch it off, remove all the
food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
7. Any dust that gathers on the condenser,
located at the back of the appliance, should be
removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
8. Check the door seals regularly to ensure that
they are clean and free from food particles.
9. Never:
• Clean the appliance with unsuitable material
such as petroleum based products.

• Scour, rub etc., with abrasive material.
10. To remove a door tray, remove all the
contents and then simply push the door tray
upwards from the base.
11. Make sure that the special plastic container
at the back of the appliance which collects the
thawed water is clean at all times. If you want to
remove the tray to clean it, follow the instructions
below:
• Switch off the socket and pull out the mains plug.
• To remove the water collector tray pull and turn
(left-right).
• Clean and wipe it dry.
• Reassemble the tray by reversing the
sequence and operations
12. To remove a drawer, pull it as far aspossible,
