Preparation of Ice Cubes Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer com- partment and leave to freeze. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as follows: Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of new- spaper and put it in a very cool place.
Cleaning and Care For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly. Warning! Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the appli- ance from the electricity supply or turn the temperature regulator to “0”. • Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumu- late in electrical components, which could cause an electrical shock! Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.
Energy Saving Tips • Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of continuous warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more fre- quent operation of the compressor. • Ensure sufficient air circulation at the appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance.
