Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment does not
defrost automatically. A layer of hoarfrost
in the freezer compartment will impair
refrigeration of the frozen food and
increase power consumption. Regularly
defrost the freezer compartment.
ã=
Caution
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a
knife or pointed object. You could
damage the refrigerant tubes. Leaking
refrigerant may ignite or cause eye
injuries.
Proceed as follows:
Note
Approx. 4 hours before defrosting the
appliance, turn the temperature
controller to the highest setting so that
the food drops to a very low temperature
and can therefore be stored at room
temperature for a longer period.
1. Remove the frozen food and place
temporarily in a cool location.
2. Switch the appliance off.
3. Pull out the mains plug or remove
the fuse.
4. To accelerate the defrosting process,
place a pan of hot water on a trivet in
the freezer compartment.
5. Wipe up condensation with a cloth
or sponge.
6. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
7. Switch the appliance on again.
8. Put the frozen food back in the freezer
compartment.
