OFF COLD COLDER COLDEST
For faster freezing of fresh food turn
the temperature control knob to
setting 7. Once it is frozen, reduce to
normal setting. The more fresh food
you freeze at any one time, the longer
it takes and the higher the freeze
setting required.
During extremely hot weather and
frequent door openings, you may
need to select a higher setting to
ensure that food is kept cold.
This appliance is most energy
efficient when the doors are kept
firmly closed.
Fill the ice tray 3/4 full with water and
then place it in the lower part of the
freezer.
MAKING ICE CUBES
1. Knock the ice tray lightly to loose it.
-or-
2. Hold the bottom of the ice tray in warm
water for a while.
-or-
3. Twist the ice tray to loose the ice cubes.
USE OF THE PLASTIC FREEZER
PROTESTOR - MAT
Your refrigerator is provided with a
plastic mat to protect the bottom of the
freezer section.
Do not place the food directly on the
bottom of the freezer but on the
protector.
This way you will avoid ice buildup and
food sticking to the bottom of the
freezer.

To Defrost Your Refrigerator
FREEZER
5
The freezer compartment should
be defrosted when ice build up
exceeds 6mm thickness.
Before defrosting the freezer
compartment, transfer any
remaining frozen food to another
freezer or wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and place it in a cold
refrigerator. Remember that any
rise in the temperature will shorten
the life of the frozen food.
Wash with a warm water solution
containing either a mild detergent
or baking soda solution (2 table
spoons/30g baking soda to 1 litre
warm water).
Unplug refrigerator from electricity
power supply.
Remove all food and ice blocks
from the freezer compartment. It is
not necessary to remove the food
from the fridge section.
Place pan of hot water inside
freezer compartment to speed
defrosting, and leave freezer door
open.

4.
Dry the freezer with a soft sponge
and a piece of cloth.
Your refrigerator defrosts the ice
in the lower part automatically.
The water accumulates in the drain
hole (2) and is sent to the collecting
tray at the rear of the refrigerator
where it is evaporated. Clean the
drain hole (2) and the pipe hose by
pouring a small glass of luke-warm
water inside it.
Check the drain hole (2) at regular
intervals to see if it is clogged, and
if necessary, clean it. Do not fill
your refrigerator and cover up the
drain channel (1).
