[. . . ] When the appliance is operating, this panel may be covered with frost or droplets of water depending on whether the compressor is operating or not at a given time. the refrigerator is operating normally. If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient temperature high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the formation of frost on the back cooling area.

This is the reason why meat and cheeses should be placed above the vegetable crisper. - Fill the ice cube trays about 3/4 full. - If the ambient temperature remains below 14°C for an extended period of time, the temperature needed for extended storage of food in the freezer will not be reached, resulting in reduced storage life of the food. GB 14 Ice trays This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent. The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers ensures greater ergonomics and cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided). 2) Fill up the tray with water via the special hole up to the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL), taking care not to exceed it: inserting more water than is necessary will lead to the formation of ice which could obstruct the exit of the ice cubes. If you have used an excessive amount of water, you will have to wait until the ice has melted, empty out the tray and refill it with water. Once you have filled the ice tray up with water through the hole indicated, turn it by 90 °. This new concept of ice trays is an exclusive Merloni patent.

To make it easier for the ice cubes to come out, wet the outside of the tray. [. . . ] If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously. - Close the Doors Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the temperature to the proper level again, the motor must work for a long time, consuming energy. 3 GB 18 Cleaning and Special Maintenance Before cleaning the refrigerator, disconnect it from the electrical mains (by removing the plug from the socket or by turning off the main electricity switch for the apartment or house).
