When deep-freezing hot food, the
cooling compressor will work until the
food is completely frozen. This can
temporarily cause excessive cooling
of the refrigeration compartment.
If you find the freezer door difficult
to open just after you have closed it,
don’t worry. This is due to the pressure
difference which will equalize and
allow the door to open normally after
a few minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just
after closing the door. This is quite
normal.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with
water and place it in the freezer.
As soon as the water has turned into
ice, you can take out the ice cubes.
Never use sharp objects such as
knives or forks to remove the ice
cubes. There is a risk of injury!
Let the ice cubes slightly thaw
instead, or put the bottom of the tray
in hot water for a short moment.
Defrosting of the appliance
Excessive build-up of ice will affect
the freezing performance of your
device.
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 device when there is
only little or no food in it.
Take out the deep-frozen food. 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
at the freezing compartment
and frozen food compartment
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
interior walls of the compartment.
