Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as
possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy
microorganisms which rapidly activate themselves after
defrosting and make foods perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food, especially
fruits, vegetables and readymade meals.

fi
ll it to the mark with cold

Defrosting frozen food
Making ice
Refrigerator needs no special defrosting procedure, because ice
deposited at the inner back wall is defrosted automatically.
Ice deposited on the inner back wall during the compressor
operation is defrosted when the compressor stops operating,
and condensed water drops are drained through the outlet in the
inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor
where it evaporates.
• Clean the freezer when the frost layer in the freezer reaches
thickness of around 3-5 mm.
• 24 hours before defrosting set the fast freeze key
(
9
), to
continuous operation in order to additionally freeze the food
inside. After that empty the freezer and take care that the
packages remain frozen.
• Turn the freezer off by pressing the
symbol for more than 3
seconds (for freezer).
• To drain defrost water pull the funnel shaped groove at the
bottom of the appliance out, and place a convenient vessel
underneath to collect the defrost water.
• Never use powered appliances to defrost the freezer (hair
dryer, etc.).
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to
the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.
• Clean the interior of the appliance and wipe it dry (see chapter
Cleaning).
• Before reloading food into the freezer switch the appliance on.
