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 a soft plastic scraper. Under no cir- cumstances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose.

The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres; however at least once a year. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty or contains little food.

1 Warning!

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, they can be hazardous to your health and/or contain substances that damage plastics.

01. If 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 food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food.

2.Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store it, covered, in a cool place.

3.Unplug or switch off at the mains.

4.Remove all the drawers. Remove

the pedestal cover (see "Reversing the door" section). Place the bot-

tom drawer directly in front of the appliance to collect the water from defrosting and pull out the water

drain conduit.

Tip: In order to speed up the

defrosting process, place a pot of hot water in the freezer

compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is complete.

5.After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and inte- rior fittings ( see "Maintenance and Cleaning" section).
