"Stop Frost" system
In normal use, ice and frost will form on
the evaporator plates. If allowed to
accumulate, this will impair the
efficiency of the freezer and increase
the consumption of electricity.
The stop frost system reduces the
build-up of ice and frost by approx.
70 % in comparison to other
appliances. This means that it is not
necessary to defrost the appliance
nearly as often.
Only use the scraper supplied with
the appliance to scrape off ice and
frost.
Otherwise the evaporator plates
could become damaged, making
the freezer unusable.
The freezer should be defrosted from
time to time. It must be defrosted if a
layer of ice approx. 1 cm thick has
accumulated. It is best to defrost when
only very little food or no food at all is
left in the freezer.
Before defrosting
^
Switch on the super freeze function at
least 4 hours before defrosting to
ensure frozen food retains its cold
reserve for longer when taken out of
the freezer.
^
Remove the frozen food from the
freezer and place it in another freezer
or cool box, or wrap it in several
layers of newspaper or cloths and
store in a cool place until the freezer
is ready for use again.
To defrost
Carry out the defrosting procedure
as quickly as possible if food has
not been placed in another freezer.
The longer the food is left out at
room temperature, the faster it
defrosts.
^
Disconnect and remove the mains
plug from the socket.
^
Place the divider or a flat container
under the defrosting outlet. Any
defrosted water will then collect in the
divider/container.
^
Wait until the stopper has defrosted,
and then pull it out of the floor of the
appliance.
^
Leave the lid of the freezer open.
To speed up defrosting, a bowl
containing hot water (not boiling) can
be placed in the appliance.
