Defrosting of the appliance
• Excessive build-up of ice will affect
the freezing performance of your
appliance.
• It is therefore recommended that you
defrost your appliance at least twice
a year, or whenever the ice build-up
exceeds 7 mm.
• Defrost your appliance when there is
only little or no food in it.
• Take out the frozen food from the
drawers. Wrap the frozen food in
several layers of paper, or a blanket,
and keep it in a cold place.
• Unplug the appliance or switch off the
circuit breaker to start the defrosting
process.
• Take out the accessories (like shelf,
drawer etc.) from the appliance and
use a suitable container to collect the
thawing water.
• Use a sponge or a soft cloth to
remove thawing water if necessary.
• Keep the door open during
defrosting.
• For quicker defrosting, place
containers with warm water inside the
appliance.
• Never use electrical devices,
defrosting sprays or pointed or sharp-
edged objects such as knives or forks
to remove the ice.
• After the defrosting is done, clean the
inside (see the section ‘Cleaning and
care’).
• Reconnect the appliance to the
mains.
