2. Disconnect the power by pressing
the on/off button.
3. Pull out the drain spout at the
bottom of the cabinet and place a
bowl under it to collect defrost water
(ig. 16). If the spout is frozen in
place, lay a cloth which has been
soaked in hot water over it for a few
minutes.
4. Remove the items of food. Place
them in the refrigerator or wrap
them in newspaper to keep them as
cold as possible.
5. Place a bowl of hot (but not boiling)
water in the freezer.
6. To prevent the loor from becoming
wet during defrosting, check
progress from time to time and
lay towels around the bowl on the
loor to protect against ice and
splashes. When all the frost and
ice have melted, clean the inside
of the cabinet with a mild detergent
solution. Dry the freezer with a soft
cloth.
7. Press the on/off button again. If
many items are to be returned to the
freezer, activate the Super Freeze
button.
8. Return items to the freezer approx.
5 minutes after switching it on.
Automatic defrosting of
refrigerator section
The refrigerator is defrosted automatically.
Defrost water runs through a pipe and is
collected in a tray above the compressor
where the heat generated by the
compressor causes it to evaporate. The
defrost water tray should be cleaned at
intervals.
Automatic defrosting of
freezer section
The freezer is defrosted automatically in
models utilising no-frost technology.
Manual defrosting of freezer
section
The items stored and the humidity of the
air gradually cause frost and ice to form
in the freezer. A thin layer of frost or ice
does not affect freezer performance, but
the thicker the layer, the higher the energy
consumption. Loose frost can be removed
using a plastic or wooden scraper.
Never use a knife or other sharp
implement that might damage the inside
of the freezer.
When the layer of frost and ice exceeds
4-5 mm the freezer should be completely
defrosted.
Proceed as follows:
1. Press the Super Freeze button 4-5
hours before defrosting. This lowers
the temperature of the items stored
to approx. -25°C, thus prolonging
the length of time they remain
frozen after having been removed
from the freezer (see step 4 below).
