Never use metal objects to scrape away the accumu-

Ice cube trays
The refrigerator is provided with two ice cube trays.
These trays should be Ţlled with drinking water and
then placed in the freezer compartment.

are stuck-frozen inside the compartment.
The freezer compartment, however, will become pro-
gressively covered with frost. This should be removed
with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever
the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power or to remove the foods from the compart-
ment.
If a thick layer of ice is formed it will be necessary to
carry out complete defrosting.
It is advisable to carry out this operation when the ap-
pliance is empty.
