Defrosting

During use and when the door is opened, moisture is deposited as frost inside the appliance, particularly on the evaporator. This frost must be removed from time to time using the soft plastic scraper supplied.

Under no circumstances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose.

The freezer should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres. Defrost should be carried out once a year regardless of the amount of frost that has built up. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty or contains only a small amount of food.

Each temperature rise reduces the keeping qualities of your frozen food. Around 12 hours before defrosting your freezer, switch over to FROSTMATIC to build up a low temperature reserve in the frozen food.

Warning!

Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process.

Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health and/or contain substances that damage plastics.

 

 

Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could

 

 

freeze to the food.

 

1.

Switch on the FROSTMATIC function a few hours before defrosting to

 

 

make sure frozen food remains sufficiently frozen.

 

2.

Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store

 

 

it, covered, in a cool place.

 

3.

Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or disconnect from the elec-

 

 

tricity supply.

 

4.

Remove all drawers except the bottom one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The bottom drawer serves as a practical con-

 

 

 

 

tainer to collect the water from the thawing

 

 

 

 

ice. Pull out the drawer and insert the plastic

 

 

 

 

scraper in the special location to act as an

 

 

 

 

extension channel to collect the defrost

 

 

 

 

water.

 

 

 

 

Tip: To speed up the defrosting process, place

 

 

 

 

a pan with warm water in the appliance and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

close the door. Remove pieces of ice that have fallen before they com-

 

 

pletely defrost.

 

5.

After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and interi-

 

 

or fittings (see "Cleaning and Care" section).

6.

Do not forget to switch the FROSTMATIC function off again.
