Maximum Load/Stacking Limit
In order to load large quantities or bulky freezer items, you can remove
the drawers (except for the bottom one) and place the freezer goods
directly onto the evaporator grid.
However, when the drawers are removed, the freezer
goods may not extend above the marking on the left
side of the appliance interior.
Defrosting
Moisture is precipitated in the form of white frost during operation
and when the door is open, especially on the evaporators. Remove this
white frost from time to time with a soft plastic scraper, e.g. a dough
scraper. Do not under any circumstances use hard or pointed objects
for this purpose.
The appliance should be defrosted when the thickness of the white
frost has reached about 4 mm; but at least once a year in any case.
A convenient time for defrosting is any time when the appliance is
empty, or only minimally loaded.
1Warning!
•Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or
artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the excep-
tion of those recommended in these operating instructions.
•Do not use defrosting sprays, because they may be health endange-
ring and/or contain substances damaging to plastics.
0If large quantities of frozen goods are in storage, press the FAST FREEZE
button about 12 hours prior to defrosting, so that the frozen goods can
build up a sufficient chill reserve.
Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze
to the goods.
0Remove frozen goods, pack them in several layers of newspaper, cover
them and store them in a cool place, e.g. in a refrigerator.
0Switch appliance off and remove plug from the mains, or switch off or
turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
