•  The freezer should be defrosted 2 – 3 times a year, or more 

often if appliance door is opened more frequently. Moving the 
cold accumulators (only with some models) directly onto the 
frozen food in the upper freezer compartment may reduce the 
number of times the freezer needs to be defrosted.

•  24 hours before defrosting, activate the freezer power boost to 

additionally cool the food (see chapter “Freezing process”).

After 24 hours, remove the frozen food from the freezer and 
protect them from thawing.

•  Disconnect the appliance – rotate the thermostat knob 

A

 to the   

position and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

•  Place absorbent cloths on the bottom of the freezer to absorb the 

water as the ice melts, and replace them as necessary. 

•  Do not use electrical appliances to defrost the appliance (hairdryer 

etc.); 

•  When defrosting the refrigerator, do not use any defrosting sprays 

as these may damage the plastic surfaces or harm your health. 

•  Clean the appliance interior and wipe it dry (see cleaning the 

appliance). 

•  Before putting the food back into the freezer, connect the 

appliance to the power mains and rotate the 

A

 knob back to the 

desired setting.
