mometer or other instruments, may fluctuate.

frozen.

Bottles and cans containing drinks may burst when being
frozen. This applies particularly to sparkling drinks.
u
Do not freeze bottles and cans containing drinks!
u
4 h before freezing food, set the temperature to 5 °C or
colder.
u
Switch on Fast-Freeze when you load the product.
In order that the food is rapidly frozen through to the core, do
not exceed the following quantities per pack:

Pack the food in portions in freezer bags, reusable plastic,
metal or aluminium containers.

6 Maintenance
6.1 Defrosting
6.1.1 Defrosting refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically. The
water evaporates. Drops of water on the rear wall are function-
ally conditioned and perfectly normal.
u
Clean the drain hole at regular intervals to allow the defrost
water to drain (see 6.2) .
6.1.2 Defrosting freezer compartment*
A layer of frost and ice forms in the freezer compartment after
the appliance has been in use for a lengthy period of time. This
is quite normal. The layer of frost and ice forms more quickly if
the door is opened frequently or if the food is warm when
placed inside. However, a thick layer of ice will increase the
appliance‘s energy consumption. You should therefore defrost
the appliance regularly.
WARNING
Danger of injury and damage
u
Do not use any mechanical aids or other means not recom-
mended by the manufacturer in order to accelerate the
defrosting process.
u
Do not use electrical heating or steam cleaning equipment,
open flames or defrosting sprays to defrost.
u
Do not use sharp implements to remove the ice.
u
Do not damage the pipework in the refrigerant circuit.
u
Switch off the appliance.
w
The temperature display goes out.
w
If the temperature display does not go out, the child-proofing
function (see 5.1) is active.
u
Pull out the plug.
u
Wrap the frozen food in newspaper or blankets and store in
a cool place.
