Defrosting of the appliance
• Excessive build-up of ice will affect
the freezing performance of your
appliance.
• It is therefore recommended that
you defrost your appliance at least
twice a year, or whenever the ice
build-up exceeds 7 mm.
• Defrost your appliance when there
is only little or no food in it.
• Take out the deep-frozen food from
the drawers. Wrap the deep-frozen
food in several layers of paper, or a
blanket, and keep it in a cold place.
• Unplug the appliance or switch
off the circuit breaker to start the
defrosting process.
• Take out the accessories (like shelf,
drawer etc.) from the appliance and
use a suitable container to collect
the thawing water.
• Use a sponge or a soft cloth to
remove thawing water if necessary.
• Keep the door open during
defrosting.
• For quicker defrosting, place
containers with warm water inside
the appliance.
• Never use electrical devices,
defrosting sprays or pointed or
sharp-edged objects such as knives
or forks to remove the ice.
• After the defrosting is done, clean
the inside (see the section ‘Cleaning
and care’).
• Reconnect the appliance to the
mains. Place the frozen food into the
drawers and slide the drawers into
the freezer.
