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 a soft plastic scraper. Under no cir-

cumstances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose.

The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of

frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres; however at least

once a year. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty

or contains little food.

Warning!

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

artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the excep-

tion of those recommended in these operating instructions.

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

and/or contain substances that damage plastics.

0 If large quantities of frozen goods are in storage, press the fast freeze

button about 12 hours prior to defrosting, so that the frozen goods can

build up a sufficient chill reserve.

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

freeze to the food.

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

covered, in a cool place.

0 Unplug or switch off of mains.

0 Remove all the drawers. Remove

the pedestal cover (see "Changing

Over the Door Hinges" section).

Place the bottom drawer directly in

front of the appliance to collect the

water from defrosting and pull out

the water drain conduit.

Tip: In order to speed up the

defrosting process, place a pot of

hot water in the freezer

compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before

defrosting is complete.

0 After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and

interior fittings ( see "Maintenance and Cleaning" section).
