This should be removed from time to time wfith a pla¬
stic scraper, e.g. pastry scraper (not with a knife or
the like). It is not necessary to switch off the freezer
when doing so. To prevent heavy frost formation,
keep the freezer lid closed as much as possible.
This also saves electricity, since heavy frost incm-
station impairs refrigerating efficiency.
Your freezer should be defrosted at least once a
year or as soon as a thick layer of frost has formed.
This is best done when your chest freezer is com¬
pletely or partly empty.
Freezer chests with the "minimum-frost" sy¬
stem do not need to be defrosted so often, as on
these models the ice and frost build up far more
slowly inside the freezer. The "minimum-frost"
system does not need any maintenance at any
time during the service life of the freezer.
Any temperature rise in the frozen food will reduce
the time for which it can be kept. Before defrosting
therefore, switch over your freezer with the Frost-
matic button to "Fast Freeze" for around 12 hours to
build up sufficient low-tempierature reserve.
All food packages remaining in the freezer, hermeti¬
cally packed if possible, should then be
wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored
in a cool place (e.g. refrigerator).
To defrost, the chest freezer is switched off: pull out
mains plug or remove fuse. The green LED to check
the mains goes out.
You can accelerate the defrosting process by pla¬
cing a bowl of hot water in the freezer and removing
the lumps of ice before they are completely melted.
For safety reasons, this appliance must never be
cleaned with steam-cleaning equipment. Moisture
could find its way into the electronic components,
and steam could cause damage to the plastic
parts.
Never attempt to accelerate defrosting by means of
electric heating or wanning appliances, candles, or
the like.
This may place you at risk of a serious accident and
may also damage your chest freezer.
Make sure when cleaning your chest freezer that no
liquids penetrate inside the operating and monito¬
ring devices and inside the electrical components.
Draining off after defrosting into removabie se¬
parating wall (depending on appliance design):
To drain off the water after defrosting, remove the
plug from the defrosting outlet in the floor of the in¬
ternal compartment. Before doing so, do not forget
to place the removed separating wall or a flat dish
under the outlet to collect the water (Fig. 9).
When defrosting is completed, refit the sealing
plug.
After defrosting the freezer, wash inside and out as
well as accessories with lukewane water to which a
mild detergent can be added. Then rinse with clean
water arKi wipe dry. Finally, switch the freezer back
on.
The frozen food can be placed back inside after
around 10 minutes (see also "Starting up").
Faults and servicing
To mainteun the safety of your appliance, you should
only have repairs, especially on live parts, perfor¬
med by a trained electrician. If your chest freezer
has a fault, you should therefore approach your re¬
tailer or the service centre direct.
Before approaching our service centre, check whe¬
ther the LEDs are showing, the refrigerating unit is
operational, and the internal temperature is still
being maintained.
If, for example, the green LED goes out virtiile your
chest freezer is operational, press the Frostmatic
button. If the amber LED now comes on, the green
LED is defective.
If the amber light does not come on when set to
"Fast Freeze", but the refrigerating unit is operatio¬
nal, this means that the amber LED must be repla-
If none of the LEDs is on. first check that the power
supply has not been cut off (mains plug, house fuse,
overall power failure in the supply system, etc.). If
necessary, contact your electrician immediately.
If the red LED flashes and the audible alarm sounds,
or the temperature inside the freezer has risen shar¬
ply without fresh food having been inserted or the lid
having been open for any length of time, this means
that there is a fault. Press the Frostmatic button,
keep your freezer closed, and notify our service
centre immediately (see list of service centres).
If both the red and amber LEDs flashes and the refri¬
gerating unit continuously operates, this also
means that there is a fault.
In this case, do not carry out repairs yourself, espe¬
cially in the electrical parts of your chest freezer.
When doing so, please quote
- E.-number, and
- F.-number of your chest freezer.
The rating plate bearing this information is located
inside the lid.
Keep your chest freezer closed and inform the ser¬
vice centre whether the refrigeration system is still
