MAKING ICE CUBES NOTE: At the maximum cold setting, with a high outside (ambient) temperature and well-stocked (full or nearly full) compartments, the Fridge-Freezer’s operation may be continuous, leading to the formation of ice and frost on the evaporator.
CLEANING / MAINTENANCE NOTE: Before attempting to clean your Fridge-Freezer, UNPLUG IT and make sure you do the following: Remove the baskets and the ice-cube tray. Leave the door open. In order to collect the defrosted water, take out the bottom drawer and soak up the water using a sponge as shown in the figure pictured below.

DEFROSTING YOUR REFRIGERATOR Defrosting occurs fully automatically in the refrigerator compartment during normal operation. The defrosted water collected by the evaporating tray evaporates automatically. NOTE: The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf) should be cleaned periodically to prevent water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.
DEFROSTING YOUR FREEZER **** Generally, you should defrost your Freezer at least twice a year, like this: NOTE: You must defrost your freezer when there is more than 5mm of frost covering the shelves. Do not use sharp metal objects to scrape frost with (they could damage the fridge circuit irreparably).
