Thawing
Refrigerator compartment
Make sure that the melt-water drain remains
unblocked. You can clear a blocked drain with
a kebab stick, for example.
The refrigerator defrosts automatically from
time to time. The melt water runs away via the
drain to a receptacle where it evaporates.
Freezer compartment
Defrost the freezer when the layer of ice
reaches a thickness of 5 mm.
Remove the contents of the freezer.
Switch the thermostat off.
Defrost the freezer.
Clean and dry the freezer.
Switch the thermostat on again.
When the freezer reaches its correct
temperature, replace the freezer’s contents.
You can speed up the defrosting process by
placing a bowl of hot water in the freezer.
Keep the contents of the freezer in a
cool place and wrapped in blankets or
newspapers.
Attention
Never remove the ice with the aid of sharp
objects, defrost sprays, a hair-drier, a radiant
heater, or the like. This may lead to unsafe
situations and may cause irreparable damage
to the appliance.
