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 de-
frosts.
^
Switch the appliance off and remove
the plug.
^
Open the freezer section door.
^
Use a sponge or towel to soak up the
defrosted water.
To speed up defrosting, a bowl with hot
water (not boiling) can be placed in the
freezer section. Closing the door in this
instance will help retain the warmth and
speed up the defrosting process.
We do not recommend the use of
hot air blowers such as hairdryers
for defrosting your appliance.
Never place electric heaters or can-
dles in the appliance to defrost it.
These can damage the plastic parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays, or
de-icers as they could contain sub-
stances which could damage the
plastic parts and which may cause a
build up of gases and pose a dan-
ger to health.
After defrosting
^
Clean the appliance and then dry it
thoroughly.
Do not let water get into the conden-
sate channel and drain hole.
^
Insert the plug in the socket and
switch the appliance back on.
^
Place the food back in the freezer
section.
