• The freezer should be defrosted 2 – 3 times a year, or more
often if appliance door is opened more frequently. Moving the
cold accumulators (only with some models) directly onto the
frozen food in the upper freezer compartment may reduce the
number of times the freezer needs to be defrosted.
• 24 hours before defrosting, activate the freezer power boost to
additionally cool the food (see chapter “Freezing process”).
After 24 hours, remove the frozen food from the freezer and
protect them from thawing.
• Disconnect the appliance – rotate the thermostat knob
A
to
the
position and unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet.
• Do not use electrical appliances to defrost the appliance
(hairdryer etc.);
• When defrosting the refrigerator, do not use any defrosting
sprays as these may damage the plastic surfaces or harm
your health.
• Clean the appliance interior and wipe it dry (see cleaning the
appliance).
• Before putting the food back into the freezer, connect the
appliance to the power mains and rotate the
A
knob back to
the desired setting.
