Miele K 12020 S-1 Refrigerator User Manual


 
To defrost
Carry out the defrosting procedure
as quickly as possible. The longer
the food is left out at room
temperature, the faster it defrosts.
Do not use a steam-cleaning
appliance to aid the defrosting
process.
Steam could reach electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Never place electric heaters or
candles etc. inside the appliance to
defrost it. They will damage plastic
parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers as they might contain
substances which could damage
the plastic parts or which could
cause a build-up of gases and pose
a danger to health.
^
Switch the appliance off.
^
Disconnect it from the mains.
^
Open the freezer compartment door.
To speed up defrosting, a bowl with hot
water (not boiling) can be placed on a
saucer in the freezer compartment.
Closing the door in this instance will
help retain warmth and speed up the
defrosting process.
^
Remove any loose pieces of ice.
^
Use a sponge or towel to soak up the
defrosted water, as often as
necessary.
After defrosting
^
Clean the appliance and then dry it
thoroughly.
Do not let water get into the
condensate channel and drain hole.
^
Reconnect to the mains and switch
the appliance back on.
^
Once the temperature in the freezer
compartment has reached the
required temperature, place the food
back into the freezer compartment.
