G M. -Nr. 06 657 310 Contents Description of the appliance . 12 Switching off for longer periods of time . 14 Food which should not be stored in a refrigerator. [. . . ] Pour it away and wash the container it was in, the sink and your hands. Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked. ^ Once frozen use a blunt instrument, for example a spoon handle, to remove the ice tray from the freezer. ^ Ice cubes can be removed easily from the tray by holding it under cold running water for a short while. Cooling drinks When cooling drinks quickly, make sure bottles are not left in the freezer compartment for more than one hour, as they could burst. Ice cubes (with or without release button depending on model) ^ Press down the release button on the ice cube tray and fill the tray with water. Any excess will flow out through the outlet. ^ Now pull the release button up to seal the ice cube tray. Place the tray on the bottom of the freezer compartment. 19 Defrosting Refrigerator Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst it is in use. These are automatically removed and defrosted by the appliance. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance. Ensure that the condensate channel and drain hole are never blocked so that the condensate can flow away without hindrance. Freezer compartment (depending on model) The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically because frozen food must not be allowed to defrost. In normal use ice and frost will form on the evaporator plate. If allowed to accumulate, this will impair the efficiency of the freezer and increase the consumption of electricity. Do not scrape ice and frost off the evaporator plate as this can damage the evaporator plate and the freezer compartment making it unusable. The freezer compartment should be defrosted from time to time. It must be defrosted if a layer of ice approx. It is best to defrost when only very little food or no food at all is left in the freezer. Before defrosting ^ Remove the frozen food from the freezer compartment and place it in another freezer or cool box or wrap it in several layers of newspaper or cloths and place it in a cool place until the freezer compartment is ready for use again. 20 Defrosting To defrost Carry out the defrosting procedure as quickly as possible if food has not been placed in another freezer. The longer the food is left out at room temperature, the faster it defrosts. ^ Use a sponge or towel to soak up water from defrosting. To speed up defrosting, a bowl with hot water (not boiling) can be placed in the freezer compartment. [. . . ] ^ Position the power supply cable so that it can easily be connected to the electricity socket once the appliance has been built in. ^ Loosely secure the appliance to the worktop through fixing bracket a. The appliance is properly secured to the worktop only after the plinth depth has been adjusted and the furniture door has been fitted to the appliance. ^ Fit fixing bracket a into position and secure it with self-tapping screws b. ^ Place the appliance on the slides supplied and push it into the niche. These make it easier to push the appliance in or pull it out. [. . . ]
