1.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting push the FROSTMATIC button, in
order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in opera-
tion.
Caution!
Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze
to the goods.
2.
Remove frozen goods, pack them in several layers of newspaper, cover
them and store them in a cool place.
3.
Switch off refrigerator and freezer and remove plug from the mains, or
disconnect from the electricity supply.
4.
Remove all the drawers. Remove
the plinth (see "Reversing the Door"
section). Place the bottom drawer
directly in front of the appliance to
collect the water from defrosting
and pull out the water drain spout.
Tip:
In order to speed up the
defrosting process, place a pot of
hot water in the freezer
compartment. In addition, remove
pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is complete.
5.
After defrosting thoroughly clean the freezer interior, as well as interior
accessories (see section: "Maintenance and Cleaning").
