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 stick to the food and can cause skin abrasions.
☞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 pull the fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.
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.
Malfunctions
If the electronics in the appliance have detected a fault that prevents the ACTUAL temperature being sensed, all the lights in the temperature display will flash. The appliance will continue to function using a back- up programme until your local Service Force engineer has repaired the appliance.
