5.1 Defrosting
Freezer defrosting process
WARNING: Never use sharp metal
tools, unless recommended by the
manufacturer, for this operation as they can
damage the refrigeration circuit.
After some time, frost will build up in certain
areas of the freezer compartment. The frost
accumulated in the freezer compartment
should be removed regularly (use the
plastic scraper if available).
Complete defrosting will become necessary
if the frost layer exceeds 3 - 5 mm in order
to maintain the efficiency of the freezer.
• It is recommended to set the thermostat
dial to position "5" to freeze food
completely, 24 hours in advance to
defrosting.
• When defrosting frozen foods, food
should be wrapped in several layers
of paper and kept in a cool place. The
inevitable rise in temperature will shorten
its storage life. Remember to use this
food within a relatively short period of
time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position "•"
and switch off the appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate
defrosting. Remove any water from the
compartment.
This appliance has a special drain
system.
1. Pull out the bottom drawer
freezer compartment. Put it on the floor
and align it to the front of the cabinet.
2. Pull out the drain pipe
back wall of the freezer compartment.
Then, place it in the groove on the front
side of the appliance floor.
3. If there is still water on the freezer floor,
you can remove it using a sponge.
• Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm
water and a little detergent. Never use
abrasive products or aggressive cleaning
agents.
• Dry the inside of the unit, connect it to
the mains and set the thermostat knob
to position "5". After 24 hours, reset the
thermostat to the desired position.
