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.
Fuzzi logic and times switch defrosting (fig. 4)
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. 6.) The defrost
water will evaporate automatically into the circulating air and
the vessel will not need emptying manually.
Semi-automatic defrosting (fig. 5)
A semi-automatic defrosting model device can be identified
by the push -button in the centre of the thermostat dial. To
defrost, push in the button in the centre of the thermostat
dial but do not turn the dial to another position-leave it at its
usual setting.
Close the door.
The defrost button will stay in and the cooling unit will
remain switched off until the frost has melted. The defrost
button will then automatically spring out to its normal
position and the refrigerator will start work again. The time
taken to defrost will depend on the amount of frost to be
removed and the room temperature.
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. 6.).
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 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

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
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.
Remove the hinge plate
