Take the freezer drawers out of the
freezer section.
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.
Do not use a steam-cleaning
appliance to aid the defrosting
process. Steam could reach
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Never place electric heaters or
candles etc. inside the appliance to
defrost it. They will damage plastic
parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers as they might contain
substances which could damage
the plastic parts or which could
cause a build-up of gases and pose
a danger to health.
^
Switch the appliance off.
^
Disconnect it from the mains.
^
Open the freezer section door.
^
Use a sponge or towel to soak up the
defrosted water.
To speed up defrosting, two bowls of
hot water (not boiling) with plates
underneath them can be placed in the
appliance. Closing the door in this
instance will help retain warmth and
speed up the defrosting process.
After defrosting
^
Clean the freezer section and then
dry it thoroughly.
^
Close the appliance door.
^
Insert the plug in the socket and
switch on at the mains. Then switch
the appliance back on.
^
Switch on the Super freeze function
so that the appliance can cool down
quickly. The indicator light will come
on.
^
Once the freezer section has
reached the required temperature,
place the food back in the freezer
drawers and slide the drawers back
into the freezer section.
^
Switch off Super freeze by pressing
the Super freeze button when the
temperature in the freezer is a
constant -18 °C or colder.
The indicator light will go out.
