Defrosting the freezer
compartment
Fig. t
Risk of electric shock
!
NEVER use a steam cleaner. If live
components come into contact with
condensing steam, they may short circuit
or cause an electric shock.
To remove ice and frost do not use a knife
or sharp object.
Do not damage the refrigeration tubing.
Leaking refrigerant may cause eye injuries
and is flammable.
Do NOT place any electric appliances or
naked flames in the appliance.
Notes
Large accumulations of ice or hoar frost
on the freezer grids impede the efficiency
of the appliance and cause the rate of
energy consumption to increase.
If the layer of frost is greater than 5 mm
then the appliance should be defrosted. In
any case it should be done at least once
or twice a year. Most appropriately when
there is very little or no frozen food in the
freezer.
About 4 hours before defrosting switch on
the fast freeze so that the food attains a
very low temperature and can then be
kept at room temperature for a longer
period of time.
Procedure
S Store the freezer drawers and the food
in a cool location. Place the ice block (if
enclosed) on the food.
S Place the empty freezer tray on the
bottom shelf to catch the melting ice.
S To speed up the defrosting process
place two saucepans with hot water on
a base in the appliance. Close the door
to keep the warmth in the appliance.
S When the freezer compartment has
defrosted, empty the water which has
collected in the freezer tray. Mop up any
water in the bottom of the freezer
compartment with a sponge.
S Switching on the appliance
S Put the frozen food back into the freezer
compartment.
Defrosting sprays

Warning
!
Defrosting sprays may form explosive
gases and/or contain solvents or
propellants which corrode plastic and/or
may be a health hazard.
