Note:
Thick frost or ice on the freezer shelves
will impair the performance of the
appliance and increase the power
consumption.
If the layer of frost is approx.
1
/
2
cm thick,
the freezer compartment must be defros-
ted. Nevertheless, defrost the freezer
compartment at least once or twice
a year. The best time to defrost is when
there is little or no food in the appliance.
Approx. 4 hours before defrosting, switch
on „fast freeze“. The food will then drop
to a very low temperature and can
therefore be stored for a longer period at
room temperature.
Proceed as follows:
• Pull out the mains plug.
• Place the freezer drawers containing
the food in a cool location. Place the
ice block (if enclosed) on the food.
• Empty the middle drawer and leave in
the appliance to catch the water.
• When the freezer compartment has
defrosted, pour the water out of the
freezer drawer. Wipe any remaining
water off the bottom of the freezer
compartment with a sponge.
• Switch on the freezer compartment
again.
• Put the frozen food back in the freezer
compartment.
Defrosting aids
Place a pan of hot water on a base in the
freezer compartment.
Defrosting sprays
Observe the manufacturer‘s
specifications.
Attention!
Defrosting sprays may form explosive
gases and may contain solvents or
propellants which attack plastic or which
are a health hazard.
Cleaning
the appliance
• Pull out the mains plug.
• Clean the freezer compartment with
water and a little washing-up liquid.
• After cleaning the appliance, re-insert
the mains plug, switch on the fuse.
Do not use abrasive or acidic cleaning
agents and solvents.
Clean the door seal with water only and
then dry thoroughly!
Water used for cleaning must not drip
onto the fascia or light, or run through
the drainage hole in the condensation
collecting channel (Fig. I/B).
The shelves, storage compartments and
containers must not be washed in the
dishwasher as they may warp.
