[. . . ] Wherever possible the back of the product should be close to a wall but leaving the required distance for ventilation as stated in the installation instructions. Before defrosting, cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, be sure to switch off the appliance and unplug it. Under no circumstances should solid ice be forced off the cooling fins. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. [. . . ] Fill the ice tray to 4/5 with drinking water, and place the ice tray on the ice-tray shelf. Wipe off any excess water to prevent the ice tray from freezing to the surface. To speed up the making of ice cubes, turn the thermostat to position MAX for a short while. Remember to turn the dial to its normal setting when the ice cubes are frozen. It is advisable to leave some space between the products in the cabinet to ensure efficient and even cooling. If the shelves are packed too tightly there may be unacceptable temperature variations. Frost will gradually form on the cooling surfaces and it must not be allowed to become too thick since it acts as an insulator and interferes with the cooling. This frost-formation is kept back by the FUZZY LOGIC system built into the appliance by switching off the unit for two hours in every 24 hours. The frost will melt and the defrost water will run through the drain tube from the drip channel into an evaporating vessel located at the bottom rear of the refrigerator at all models. (Fig 6) The defrost water will evaporate automatically into the circulating air and the vessel will not need emptying manually. 5) A semi-automatic defrosting model device can be identified by the push -button in the centre of the thermostat dial. To defrost, push in the button in the centre of the thermostat dial but do not turn the dial to another position-leave it at its usual setting. The defrost button will stay in and the cooling unit will remain switched off until the frost has melted. The defrost button will then automatically spring out to its normal position and the refrigerator will start work again. The time taken to defrost will depend on the amount of frost to be removed and the room temperature. If we want to switch off the unit, turn the thermostat knob to "0", disconnect the refrigerator from the electricity supply and leave the cabinet door open. After defrosting the cabinet interior should be wiped out with a clean, damp cloth. In the case of increased air humidity, frost may form on the cooling ribs. Should the frost layer attain a thickness of approximately 3 mm, the refrigerator must be defrosted to avoid impairing the performance level. Even if this is not the case, the (**) freezer compartment must be defrosted on a regular basis following heavy ice formation every 2-3 months. This is carried out as follows: Set the thermostat at 0, disconnect at the mains, remove food and ice dish and leave the doors open. Do not expose the refrigerator to external heat and do not attempt to scratch away the frost with sharp objects. [. . . ] In the event of a fault developing, contact your nearest Service Centre-see local telephone directory.
