Freezer compartment
As the frozen food may not start
thawing, the freezer compartment does
not defrost automatically. A layer of
hoarfrost in the freezer compartment
impairs refrigeration of the frozen food
and increases power consumption.
■
Remove the layer of frost regularly!
Caution!
Avoid any damage to the pipes of the
refrigeration circuit.
If refrigerant escapes, it may injure your
eyes or ignite.
■
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice
with a knife or pointed object.
Proceed as follows:
1.
Switch on the Super function
approx. 4 hours before defrosting.
This means that the food reaches
very low temperatures and it can
be stored for longer at room
temperature.
2.
Remove the frozen food and place
temporarily in a cool location.
3.
Switch off the appliance.
4.
Pull out the mains plug or switch
off the fuse.
5.
To accelerate the defrosting
process: place a pan of hot water on
a trivet in the freezer compartment.
6.
Wipe up the condensation water with
a cloth or sponge.
7.
Wipe the freezer compartment dry.
8.
Switch on the appliance.
9.
Put the frozen food back into the
appliance.
