during defrosting, check progress from
time to time and lay towels around the
bowl on the oor to protect against ice and
splashes. When all the frost and ice have
melted, clean the inside of the cabinet with
a mild detergent solution. Dry the freezer
with a soft cloth.
7. Restart the freezer by turning the
thermostat button to the required setting.
If many items are to be returned to the
freezer, activate the Super Freeze button.
Remember to switch Super Freeze off
again.
8. Return items to the freezer approx. 5
minutes after having switched it on.
Defrosting the freezer
The items stored and the humidity of the
air gradually cause frost and ice to form
in the freezer. A thin layer of frost or ice
does not affect freezer performance, but
the thicker the layer, the higher the energy
consumption. Loose frost can be removed
using a plastic or wooden scraper.
Never use a knife or other sharp implement
that might damage the inside of the freezer.
When the layer of frost and ice exceeds
4-5 mm the freezer should be completely
defrosted.
Proceed as follows:.
1. Press the Super Freeze button 4-5
hours before defrosting. This lowers the
temperature of the items stored to approx.
-25°C, thus prolonging the length of time
they remain frozen after having been
removed from the freezer (see step 4
below).
2. Switch the freezer off by turning the
thermostat button to 0 (min.).
3. Pull out the drain spout at the bottom
of the cabinet and place a bowl under it to
collect defrost water (g. 11). If the spout
is frozen in place, lay a cloth which has
been soaked in hot water over it for a few
minutes.
4. Remove the items of food. Place them in
a refrigerator or wrap them in newspaper to
keep them as cold as possible.
5. Place a bowl of hot (but not boiling) water
in the freezer.
