To defrost
Carry out the defrosting procedure
as quickly as possible if food has
not been placed in another freezer.
The longer the food is left out at
room temperature, the faster it
defrosts.
^
Switch the appliance off with the
temperature selector, switch off at the
socket and remove the plug.
^
Open the freezer section door.
^
Push the outlet pipe for defrosted
water out as illustrated.
^
Place the lowest freezer drawer in
front of the appliance and direct the
outlet pipe through the hole in the
drawer. Any defrosted water will then
collect in the drawer.
To speed up defrosting, a bowl with hot
water (not boiling) can be placed in the
appliance.
We do not recommend the use of
hot air blowers such as hairdryers
for defrosting your appliance.
Never place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost
it. These can damage the plastic
parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays, or
de-icers as they could contain
substances which could damage
the plastic parts and which may
cause a build up of gases and pose
a danger to health.
After defrosting
^
Empty the freezer drawer.
^
Mop up any residual water still in the
freezer section with a sponge or
absorbent cloth.
^
Clean the freezer section and then
dry it thoroughly.
^
Push the outlet pipe back into
position.
^
Close the freezer section door, insert
the plug in the socket and switch the
appliance back on.
^
Switch on the winter setting so that
the freezer section can achieve the
required temperature quickly. The
indicator light will come on.
