7.2 Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

1. Clean the inside and accessories with

lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe

them clean to ensure they are clean and

free from debris.

3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

7.3 Defrosting of the freezer

CAUTION!

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off

frost from the evaporator as you could

damage it.

Do not use a mechanical device or any

artificial means to speed up the thawing

process other than those recommended

by the manufacturer.

About 12 hours prior to defrosting set a

lower temperature in order to build up

sufficient chill reserve in case of any

interruption in operation.

A certain amount of frost will always form on

the freezer shelves and around the top

compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer

reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

1. Switch off the appliance or pull out

electrical plug from the wall socket.

2. Remove any stored food and put it in a

cool place. 

CAUTION!

A temperature rise of the frozen food

packs during defrosting may shorten

their safe storage life.

Do not touch frozen goods with wet

hands. Hands can freeze to the

goods.

3. Leave the door open. Protect the floor

from the defrosting water e.g. with a cloth

or a flat vessel.

4. In order to speed up the defrosting

process, place a pot of warm water in the

freezer compartment. In addition, remove

pieces of ice that break away before

defrosting is complete.

5. When defrosting is complete, dry the

interior thoroughly.

6. Switch on the appliance and close the

door.

7. Set the temperature regulator to obtain

the maximum coldness and run the

appliance for at least 3 hours using this

setting.

Only after this time put the food back into the

freezer compartment.
