Defrosting

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

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

frost must be removed from time to time using the soft plastic

scraper supplied. Under no circumstances use hard or pointed objects

for this purpose.

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 little 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 pull the fuse or switch off

the circuit breaker.

Remove all drawers except the bottom one. The bottom drawer serves

as a practical container to collect the water from the thawing ice.

Tip: To speed up the defrosting process, place a pan with warm water

in the appliance and close the door. Remove pieces of ice that have

fallen before they completely defrost.

Remove the bottom drawer and dry the interior of the bottom com-

partment thoroughly.

After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and inte-

rior fittings ( see "Cleaning and Care" section).
