Frozen food Symbols/Freezing Calendar
¥ The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.
¥ The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate
types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indi-
cated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and
pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with
high fat content.
¥ By attaching the included index-tabs to the drawers, they can be
marked according to which type of foods the individual compartments
contain.
Defrosting
Refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigera-
tor compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during nor-
mal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special
container at the back of the appliance, located over the motor com-
pressor, where it evaporates.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively cove-
red with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper
provided, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During
this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to
remove the foodstuffs.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, comple-
te defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1. Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a very cool place.
2. Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug, or turn the temperatu-
re control knob to Ò0Ó.
2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either twist the ice cube tray or hold it
under running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer
compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice
scraper supplied.
