Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost. Freezer drawers (2), (3) and (4) should only be used for storage of frozen food. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.
Preparation of Ice Cubes 1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze. 2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds.
Remove pieces of ice that have fallen before they com- pletely defrost. 5. After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and interi- or fittings (see "Cleaning and Care" section). 6. Do not forget to switch the FROSTMATIC function off again.
6. After everything is dry, switch to FROSTMATIC function and switch off the audible warning signal. Immediately replace the previously removed food in the freezer. When the red warning light goes out, turn the FROSTMATIC function off. Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption.
