Defrosting
Defrosting the frozen food storage compartment
• Defrosting the freezer chamber is performed manually. Take food out before defrosting.
• Take the ice tray and drawers out or place them temporarily in the fresh food compart-
ment.
• Leave the door of the freezer open until ice and frost dissolve thoroughly and accumulate
at the bottom of the freezer chamber. Wipe out the water with the soft cloth.
• To speed up the defrosting process, you may put a bowl of warm water (about 50°C) into
the freezer chamber and scrape the ice and frost away with a defrosting spatula. After
doing so, be sure to set the temperature regulator knob to the original position.
• It is not advisable to heat the freezer chamber directly with hot water or a hair dryer
while defrosting in order to avoid deformation of the inner case.
• Neither is it advisable to use sharp tools or wooden implements to scrape ice and frost
off separate foods from the containers which has congealed together with the food, so as
not to damage the inner casing or the surface of the evaporator.
Note!
The appliance should be defrosted at least once a month. If the door has been ope-
ned frequently during use, the appliance has been used in extreme humidity, we therefore
advise the user to defrost every two weeks.
Taking the appliance out of service
• Empty the appliance.
• Pull the power plug out.
• Clean thoroughly (see section about cleaning and care).
• Leave the door open to prevent odours.
