Miele KD 12823 S Refrigerator User Manual


 
To defrost
Carry out the defrosting procedure
as quickly as possible if food has
not been placed in another freezer.
The longer the food is left out at
room temperature, the faster it
defrosts.
^
Switch the appliance off using the
On/Off button, switch off at the socket
and remove the plug.
^
Open the freezer section door.
To speed up defrosting, two bowls of
hot water (not boiling) with plates
underneath them can be placed in the
appliance. Closing the door in this
instance will help retain the warmth and
speed up the defrosting process.
^ Use a sponge or towel to soak up the
defrosted water.
We do not recommend the use of
hot air blowers such as hairdryers
for defrosting your freezer.
Never place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost
it. These can damage the plastic
parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers, as they could contain
substances which may damage the
plastic parts and which may cause a
build-up of gases and pose a
danger to health.
After defrosting
^
Clean the freezer section and then
dry it thoroughly.
^
Close the freezer section door, plug
the appliance back into the mains
socket and switch it on using the
On/Off button.
^
Switch on the Super freeze function
so that the appliance can cool down
quickly. The indicator light will come
on.
^
Once the freezer section has
reached the required temperature,
place the food back in the freezer
drawers and slide the drawers back
into the freezer section.
^ Switch off Super freeze by pressing
the Super freeze button when the
temperature in the freezer is a
constant -18 °C or colder.
The indicator light will go out.
