MAINTENANCE
Defrosting a conventional freezer
• Defrost the freezer when an approximately 3–5 millimetre layer of frost or ice has built up.
• 24 hours before defrosting, activate the intensive freezing function to additionally cool the
food.
After this period, remove the food in the freezer and protect it so that it cannot partially or
completely thaw.
• Switch off the appliance (see chapter ‘Operating the appliance’) and unplug the power cord.
• Clean and dry the interior of the freezer. Switch on the appliance and adjust the temperature
to the required setting before you put the food back into the freezer.
Defrosting the appliance
Do not use any defrosting sprays as they may melt the plastic parts or harm your
health.
Do not use a knife or any other sharp object to remove the frost, because you may
damage a pipe of the cooling system.
