In some cases food inside the refrigerator may become
frozen, common causes of this are:
• Thermostat is set too high - you will need to adjust
the setting to a more suitable temperature.
• The ambient temperature has dropped suddenly (i.e.
during winter) and this makes the refrigerator even
colder.
Making ice cubes
• Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with water and place into
the freezer.
• Place the tray onto a level suraface.
• To remove ice cubes, twist the try or place under
running water for a few seconds to loosen.
• Do not use sharp, pointed or metal implements to
remove the ice cube tray if it becomes frozen to the
fridge.
