Freezing and storing - Defrosting

Making ice

Figure P

Fill the ice-making trays with water to three-

quarters full, and place them in the freezing

tray.

To remove the ice cubes easily, gently bend

the tray.

Artificial ice blocks

(Fig. w/30).

This accessory is only included with certain

models, so if yours does not contain one,

disregard this section.

The artificial ice blocks prevent food from

warming-up too quickly in the event of a

power cut or failure.

They are most effective if they are placed in

the upper drawer directly on top of the

products.

The artificial ice blocks may be taken out of

the appliance and used as a practical

means to keep food temporarily cool, e.g. in

an insulated cooling bag.

Defrosting the refrigerator

compartment

The refrigerator compartment defrosts

automatically. On doing so, the water runs

along a drainage duct figure

d

/11, to the

drainpipe, figure

d

/21, and is collected at

the back of the unit in the evaporation

trough, where it is then evaporated.

Defrosting the freezer

compartment

To defrost the freezer compartment,

please disconnect the unit from the

mains or remove the fuse.

The accumulation of thick layers of frost or

ice in the freezer compartment trays is

detrimental to the operation of the unit, and

increases the consumption of electricity.

When the layer of ice is approximately 1/2

cm. thick, it is necessary to defrost the

freezer; as a rule, two or three times a year.

It is best to do so when there is a small

amount of food, or none at all, in the freezer

compartment. If there are products in the

freezer, connect the fast freeze function

approximately 4 hours before defrosting in

order to ensure that the food is at a very low

temperature, and will therefore remain cold

for longer at room temperature.

Then take out the freezer drawers, complete

with their contents. Wrap the food in several

sheets of newspaper and put them in a cool

place. Leave the door of the unit open, and

unplug or take out the fuse.

The defrosting operation should be carried

out quickly. (The durability of frozen

products diminishes according to the length

of time they spend at room temperature).

To collect the water during the defrosting

process, change the position of the part

which fits into the orifice of the empty lower

drawer (fig j), placing it in the drain.

After defrosting, dry the water resulting from

the process, and clean the inside of the unit.

Tips for defrosting

To accelerate the defrosting process, the

best thing to do is place a pan of hot water

on one of the freezing trays.

Take care with the use of defrosting

sprays, as these could form explosive

gases, or contain solvents and propellants

which damage the plastic parts, or which

are damaging to the health.

If possible, do not scrape the frost or ice, as

this could damage the freezing trays.

It is best to leave the unit to defrost naturally.
