8 Care and maintenance
If any foreign objects get into the defrost drainage channel:
► Carefully insert a flexible plastic object (such as a cable tie) into the drain hole
and try to remove any foreign objects.
► Do not use hard or sharp objects, or the defrost drainage channel and sur-
rounding components could get damaged.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
A thick layer of ice will prevent the cold from being transferred to the frozen food. There-
fore, the freezer compartment should be defrosted if a lot of ice has formed. When de-
frosting, keep frozen food as cold and insulated as possible, e.g. by wrapping it in news-
paper.
Do not use pointed objects to remove ice or food that has frozen on solid. Do not
use electrical heaters or naked flames for defrosting.
▸ Switch the appliance «off» using the button.
▸ Remove the defrost drainage channel
and place the drain tray underneath.
▸ Leave the freezer compartment door
open.
▸ After defrosting, clean the interior and dry thoroughly.
▸ Start the appliance again using the button.
8.6 When the appliance is not in use
