Refrigerator compartment
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely

the refrigerator compartment indicate that the
automatic defrost phase is in progress. The defrost
water is automatically run into a drain hole and
collected in a container, where it evaporates.
Freezer compartment
A C B
This appliance is a refrigerator with a < star
rating freezer compartment. Packed frozen foods
can be stored for the period indicated on the
packing. Fresh food can also be frozen, ensuring
that any contact with already frozen food is
avoided. The quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen in a 24 hour period is given on the rating
fig. 1
plate. Re-freezing of partially defrosted food is not
recommended. This food should be consumed
within 24 hours. For further information on freezing
fresh food, refer to the quick guide.
Freezing fresh food
Place the fresh food to be frozen inside the freezer
compartment. Avoid direct contact with already
frozen food. To freeze the quantity of food shown
on the serial tag, remove the top drawer and place
the food directly on the rack.
Making ice cubes (if provided)
Fill the ice cube tray up to 2/3 with water and
place in the freezer compartment. Do not use sharp
or pointed objects to detach the tray.
Caution! The refrigerator accessories must not
be placed in a dishwasher.
