How to make ice-cubes • Fill the ice-tray 3/4 full of water and place it in the bottom of the low temperature compartment. If the ice-tray sticks to the bottom, do not use pointed or sharp instruments to detach it. HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE LOW TEMPERATURE COMPARTMENT To maximise performance, defrost the low temperature compartment at least twice a year, or when the layer of ice on the walls reaches 3 mm thickness. Defrost the compartment when the contents are low. Open the door and take out all food items, wrapping them in newspaper and placing them together in a cool place or in an insulated bag. Leave the door open to allow the frost/ice on the compartment walls to melt. Clean with a sponge soaked in a solution of lukewarm water and neutral detergent. Note: to avoid causing irreparable damage, do not use pointed or sharp metal instruments to scrape off ice and do not artificially heat the low temperature compartment. 6 6gb33033. fm Page 7 Thursday, June 10, 2004 2:34 PM HOW TO CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT Clean the refrigerator compartment regularly. Refrigerator compartment defrosting is fully automatic. The formation of water droplets on the rear internal wall of the refrigerator compartment indicates that the automatic defrosting is underway. Defrost water is channelled to a runoff and collected in a container, where it evaporates. Clean the run-off channel regularly, using the supplied instrument, in order to guarantee a continuous outflow of defrost water. Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the mains. • Use a sponge soaked in lukewarm water and/or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive materials. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE • Clean the air vents regularly with a vacuum cleaner or a brush. • Clean the exterior with a soft cloth. Empty the refrigerator and low temperature compartments. Defrost the low temperature compartment, clean and dry both compartments. [. . . ] 8 • The appliance must be earthed as prescribed by law.
