6. Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray to 4/5 with drinking water, and place the ice tray on the
ice-tray shelf. Wipe off any excess water to prevent the ice tray from
freezing to the surface.
To speed up the making of ice cubes, turn the thermostat to position
MAX for a short while. Remember to turn the dial to its normal setting
when the ice cubes are frozen.
To remove the cubes from the ice tray, hold it under running water. The
ice cubes can now be taken out easily.
7. Useful suggestion
Do not overfill the appliance. It is advisable to leave some space
between the products in the cabinet to ensure efficient and even
cooling. If the shelves are packed too tightly there may be
unacceptable temperature variations.
8. Defrosting, cleaning and
maintenance
Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces and it must not be
allowed to become too thick since it acts as an insulator and interferes
with the cooling.
This frost-formation is kept back by the FUZZY LOGIC system built into
the appliance by switching off the unit for two hours in every 24 hours.
The frost will melt and the defrost water will run through the drain tube
from the drip channel into an evaporating vessel located at the bottom
rear of the refrigerator at all models. (Fig 5) The defrost water will
evaporate automatically into the circulating air and the vessel will not
need emptying manually.
If we want to switch off the unit, turn the thermostat knob to "0",
disconnect the refrigerator from the electricity supply and leave the
cabinet door open. After defrosting the cabinet interior should be
wiped out with a clean, damp cloth.
In the case of increased air humidity, frost may form on the cooling
ribs. Should the frost layer attain a thickness of approximately 3 mm,
the refrigerator must be defrosted to avoid impairing the performance
level. Even if this is not the case, the (**) freezer compartment must be
defrosted on a regular basis following heavy ice formation every 2-3
months. This is carried out as follows:
Set the thermostat at 0, disconnect at the mains, remove food
and ice dish and leave the doors open. Do not expose the
refrigerator to external heat and do not attempt to scratch away the
frost with sharp objects.
The drained water runs in a groove and from there continues along
a pipe through the refrigerator's rear panel and into a collection
container on the cooling unit, where the water evaporates by itself
(fig 5). Should the frost layer become very thick, there is a danger
of the collection basin overflowing. In this case the water should
be absorbed by a cloth placed under the ribs. The water in the
freezer compartment should also be absorbed by a cloth.
Following defrosting, the refrigerator should be wiped dry with a
cloth, reconnected and the food returned. However, you should
wait until the following day before freezing ice cubes.
9. Changing the lightbulb (If available)
If the lightbulb needs changing, pull out the plug and proceed as
follows:
Press the metal reflector to one side and draw the lamp covering
backwards. Replace the bulb and push the covering back into
place.
A new max. 10-watt bulb can be obtained at any service shop.
10. Reversing the door hang, (Fig. 6)
The direction the door opens can be transferred from one side to
the other by carrying out the following steps:
disconnect at the mains
lay the refrigerator down carefully on its back
remove the lower hinge and detach the door
remove the two upper left-hand screws and detach the
covering plate by pulling it forward
detach the upper hinge and mount it on the opposite side
remove the hinge bolt and screw it in from below
insert the covering plate in the upper right-hand corner by
pushing it in and secure it with the two screws
position the door on the upper hinge bolt and mount the lower
hinge
ensure the door can move freely and the seal is correctly
positioned.
11. Replacing the decorative door
panel,
(Fig. 7-9)
Remove the two screws (1) from the upper hinge of the door.
