Before defrosting
^
The day before defrosting the freezer,
turn the On/Off and temperature
selector to a medium to cold setting
(approx. 6) and activate the winter
setting (see "Winter setting") to
ensure frozen food retains its cold
reserve for longer when taken out of
the freezer.
^
Remove the frozen food from the
freezer compartment and wrap it in
several layers of newspaper or cloths.
^
and store it in a cool place until the
freezer is ready for use again.
^ Remove the freezer drawers and
glass cold plate from the freezer.
To defrost
Carry out the defrosting procedure
as quickly as possible. The longer
the food is left out at room
temperature, the faster it goes off.
Do not use a steam-cleaning
appliance to aid the defrosting
process.
Steam could reach electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Do not 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.
^
Deactivate the winter setting and
switch the appliance off.
^
Disconnect it from the mains.
^
Open the freezer section door.
^
Use a sponge or towel to soak up the
defrosted water.
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.
After defrosting
^ Clean the appliance and then dry it
thoroughly.
Do not let water get into the
condensate channel and drain hole.
^
Close the appliance door.
^
Reconnect to the mains and switch
the appliance back on.
^
Put the cold plate and the freezer
drawers back into the appliance.
^
Once the temperature in the freezer
has reached the required
temperature, place the food back in
the freezer section.
