The freezer section of this appliance is free from frost -
no-frost
. If used correctly, no ice will be formed.
If an ice layer is created after all, defrost the freezer section when the ice layer has reached a thickness of 3 mm.
Use this opportunity to clean the appliance.
DEFROSTING AND CLEANING THE FREEZER
• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Open the door and remove the products. Store the products on a cool location, packed in newspapers and blankets.
• Leave the door open, this will accelerate the defrosting process.
• Place a receptacle under the freezer section and wait for the ice to defrost. You can also place a dish with hot water
(not boiling) in the freezer section.
Remove loose ice using a plastic scraper.
Warning
Never remove ice with sharp objects, defrosting sprays, hair dryers,
heaters or anything similar. This could lead to unsafe situations and cause irreparable damage to the appliance.
• Clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner or soda in order
to prevent nasty smells. Wipe the inside of the appliance after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry.
• Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. The drawers can be removed from the appliance easily and washed by hand.
These components may never be cleaned in the dishwasher.
• Clean the outside of the appliance and the door rubbers with a soft damp cloth.
• Insert the plug in the socket.
INSTRUCTIONS
• A large amount of ice on the freezer surfaces disrupts the operation of the appliance and increases the energy consumption.
• Defrost the appliance at least once or twice per year. When too much ice is formed, you must defrost the appliance more often.
• Place the frozen products in a large tray, wrapped in newspapers and a blanket and store them on a cool location.
• Defrosting the freezer should be done as quickly as possible. Storing the products at room temperature for a time period
that is too long reduces their shelf life.
