Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar
• The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.
• The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types
of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated sto-
rage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating
before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.
Defrosting
Refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at
the back of the appliance, located over the motor compressor, where it
evaporates.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with
frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided,
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it
is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1. Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of new-
spaper and put it in a very cool place.
2. Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug, or turn the temperature
control knob to “0”.
3. Leave the freezer compartment door open.
