Operation
1. Turn the temperature controller
3
to ‘7’ at least 3 hours be-
fore defrosting. This way, the frozen food gets a cold reserve
and does not thaw so fast.
2. After 3 hours, set the temperature controller to ‘0’ and pull the
mains plug out of the socket.
3. Remove the frozen food. Wrap it thickly in newspaper and
place it in a laundry basket in a cool room. You can also use
the fridge.
4. To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot, but not boiling,
water in the freezer compartment. This will accelerate the
defrosting process.
5. Leave the door open during defrosting. Place a floor cloth in
front of the appliance to absorb thaw water.
The defrosting time depends on the thickness of the ice layer.
Experience shows that you can start to clean the appliance
after approximately one hour.
6. Wipe the interior with warm rinsing water.
7. The door seal is sensitive to oil and grease. Only clean it with
clean water and let it dry thoroughly.
8. After cleaning thoroughly rub everything dry, including the
door seal, and briefly allow to air.
9. Insert the mains plug back into the socket and turn the tem-
perature controller
3
to ‘7’.
10. Place your frozen food back into the freezer.
11. As soon as a temperature of -18°C has been reached, you
can turn the temperature controller back to the usual position.
Checking and cleaning the door seal
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
The door seal of the refrigerator is sensitive to grease
and oil, which make it porous and brittle.
• Use only damp, clean cloths.
• Do not use granular, alkaline or acidic cleaning
agents.
Check the door seal regularly to ensure that there is no warm air
entering the refrigerator.
1. Clean the door seal regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
2. To check the door seal, clamp a piece of paper between the
refrigerator and the refrigerator door at various points.
The paper should be difficult to pull through at all points.
3. If the seal is not uniform everywhere: Use a hair dryer to gen-
tly heat the seal in the appropriate places. Gently pull the seal
out with your fingers.
