Defrosting the ice-maker-
compartment
CAUTION! Never use sharp metal
tools to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could damage
it. Do not use a mechanical device
or any artificial means to speed
up the thawing process other
than those recommended by
the manufacturer.
A certain amount of frost will always form
around the ice-maker compartment.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating
effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as
the temperature increases, it needs more
energy.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Switch off the appliance and
disconnect the mains plug from
the mains socket.
2. Empty the ice compartment.
3. Leave the door of the appliance
and ice-maker compartment open.
Defrosting usually takes several hours.
4. When finished, pour defrost water
gathered out of the tray and wipe
the surfaces dry.
