Defrosting

During use and when the door is opened, moisture is deposited as

frost inside the appliance, particularly on the evaporator. This frost

must be removed from time to time using the soft plastic scraper sup-

plied. Under no circumstances use hard or pointed objects for this pur-

pose.

The freezer should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has

reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres. Defrost should be carried

out once a year regardless of the amount of frost that has built up. A

good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty or contains

only a small amount of food.

Each temperature rise reduces the keeping qualities of your frozen

food. Around 12 hours before defrosting your freezer, switch over to

fast freeze to build up a low temperature reserve in the frozen food.

Warning!

• Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or

artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process.

• Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health

and/or contain substances that damage plastics.

Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could

stick to the food and can cause skin abrasions.

Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store

it, covered, in a cool place.

Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or disconnect from the elec-

tricity supply.

Remove all drawers. Insert the plastic

scraper in the special location to act as an

extension channel and place a basin under-

neath to collect the defrost water.

Tip: To speed up the defrosting process,

place a pan with warm water in the appli-

ance and close the door.

Remove pieces of ice that have fallen

before they completely defrost.

After defrosting, thoroughly clean the

freezer compartment and interior fittings ( see "Cleaning and Care"

section).

Switch on the appliance or reconnect to the electricity supply.
