ICE MAKING
Fill the ice tray with fresh drinking water to just below the
top, cover the ice tray with the lid and place it on the ice
making shelf.
Ice will be made more quickly if the thermostat dial is
temporarily turned to MAX but remember to return the
dial to its usual setting when ice has formed; otherwise
the fridge may become too cold. To release the ice cubes,
hold the ice tray under a cold running tap. Then remove
the lid with the ice cubes and take them out.
LOOKING AFTER YOUR FRIDGE
Defrosting
Frost will gradually form on cooling surfaces and it must
not be allowed to become too thick since it acts as an
insulator and interferes with the cooling process.
Semi-automatic defrosting
The models have a semi-automatic defrosting device and
these can be identified by the push-button in the centre of
the thermostat dial.
With these models you should, regularly each week,
examine the frost build-up and, if it is more than 6 mm
thick, the fridge should be defrosted. All models with this
device are defrosted as follows:
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 working again. The
time taken to defrost will depend on the amount of frost to
be removed and the room temperature.
Automatic defrosting
Some models are fitted with a defrost time switch which
automatically defrosts the fridge once a day and no
appreciable frost build-up should occur. The time switch
is pre-set at the factory - therefore, you do not need to set
or adjust it.
Defrost water disposal
While defrosting is taking place, defrost water will run
through a tube into an evaporating vessel in the cooling
unit compartment at the back of the cabinet. The water
will then evaporate into the circulating air. You do not
have to empty the vessel.
Cleaning
Clean the interior of your fridge regularly to keep it fresh
and hygienic.
Switch off and pull the plug from the wall socket then
thoroughly clean the interior and fittings with a cloth
wrung out in a solution of one teaspoonful of bicarbonate
of soda to each pint of warm water.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly
perfumed cleaning materials or wax polishes to clean the
interior as these will damage the surfaces and leave a
strong smell.
The outside should occasionally be dusted or wiped over
with a damp cloth and a small amount of detergent. But
not the door seal which should be cleaned only with soap
and water and thoroughly dried.
If accessible, the cooling unit at the rear should be
cleaned of dust occasionally using a brush, but make
sure the fridge is unplugged when you do this.
