[. . . ] This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer compartment and food preservation will be reduced. ICE CARE tray The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers ensures greater 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). Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray). Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each mould fills with water (see diagram). Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray back. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take them out through the opening. GB MAX WATER LEVEL WATER LEVEL MAX WATER LEVEL MAX 15 Maintenance and care GB Switching the appliance off During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on OFF (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact. Defrosting the freezer compartment If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually: 1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the position OFF . Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place. Leave the door open until the frost has melted completely. This can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water in the freezer compartment. Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM to lead the water outside: let the water flow into a container (see diagram). Cleaning the appliance • The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. • The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance. Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours • The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly.
