Defrosting the freezer compartment
A thick layer of ice will prevent the cold from being transferred to the frozen
food. Therefore, the freezer compartment should be defrosted if a lot of ice
has formed. When defrosting, keep frozen food as cold and insulated as pos-
sible, e.g. by wrapping it in newspaper.
Do not use sharp objects to remove ice or food that has frozen
solid. Do not use electrical heaters or naked flames for defrosting.
▸ Switch the appliance «off» using the button.
▸ Absorb the water created when the ice melts with a sponge.
▸ After defrosting, clean the interior and dry thoroughly.
▸ Start the appliance again using the button.
