HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Making ice cubes
� Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 with water and fit it onto the runners above the top drawer. To speed up the ice making process, place the tray on the bottom of the top drawer (as shown in the figure). � If the tray sticks to the bottom of the compartment, do not use pointed or sharp instruments to detach it.

HOW TO DEFROST THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Defrost the freezer compartment once or twice a year, or when the ice on the walls reaches a thickness of about 3 mm. If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty. � Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in a newspaper and group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler. � Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply. � Remove the ice-cube tray. � Remove the baskets. � Pull out the defrost water drain from the base of the freezer compartment. � Leave the freezer compartment door open. Place a shallow container below the drain channel to collect the defrost water. Note: Do not use sharp or pointed metal instruments to scrape off ice; do not heat the freezer compartment artificially. Any damage to the appliance resulting from failure to observe these instructions is not covered by the guarantee. � Clean the freezer compartment using a sponge dampened in a solution of warm water and neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive products. � Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly. � Reconnect the appliance to the power supply. � Refit the drain in place and reposition the baskets. � Before putting food back in the freezer compartment, press the �super� - fast freeze button again. Note: Any increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting can shorten its storage life
