ample, do not use any electric heat-
ing equipment, knives or devices with
an open flame such as a candle. The
thermal insulation and the interior
walls are scratch- and heat-sensitive
and can melt.
Your appliance is fitted with an air-cooling
system. This means that condensation, frost
and ice are automatically removed.
If you nevertheless need to defrost in excep-
tional circumstances, we request that you
proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that your frozen food remains
sufficiently cooled during defrosting. If
you are not able to store the frozen food
in another freezer while defrosting, set
the freezer at the lowest temperature for
approx. 3 hours to create a reserve of
coldness.
2. Then remove the frozen food and wrap
it thickly in newspaper. Store the frozen
food in a thermal bag or a cool room while
you defrost.
3. Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
4. Wash the freezer drawers with warm
soapy water and then wipe dry thoroughly.
5. Place a bowl of hot but not boiling water
in the freezer. This will accelerate the de-
frosting process.
Leave the drawers open during defrosting
and place a cloth in front of the appliance
to catch any defrost water that comes out.
6. If no more ice is present, wipe the interior
with warm soapy water. Then dry it thor-
oughly.
7. Replace the frozen food in the drawers
and then close them.
8. Insert the mains plug back into the socket.
9. Adjust the temperature settings to your
desired temperature if necessary.
Cleaning the fridge
1. Disconnect the mains plug from the
socket.
2. Remove the food and place it in a cool
room.
3. Take the glass shelves (2) and door
shelves (4) out of the fridge.
4. Clean all parts in lukewarm soapy water.
Then dry everything thoroughly.
5. Wipe the fridge drawers (3) and the in-
side areas with warm soapy water.
6. When wiping clean, add a few drops of
vinegar to the water to prevent mould
from forming. Then wipe everything dry.
7. Clean the door seals with clean water
only; they are sensitive to oil and fat.
8. Put back the glass shelves (2) and door
shelves (4), and then put the food back.
9.
Insert the mains plug back into the socket.
10. Adjust the temperature settings to your
desired temperature if necessary.
