Freezer compartment
As the frozen food may not start thawing, the freezer
compartment does not defrost automatically. A layer of
hoarfrost in the freezer compartment impairs
refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power
consumption.
▯
Remove the layer of frost regularly!
Caution!
Avoid any damage to the pipes of the refrigeration
circuit.
If refrigerant escapes, it may injure your eyes or ignite.
–
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife or
pointed object.
Proceed as follows:
1
Switch on fast freezing approx. 4 hours before
defrosting.
This means that the food reaches very low
temperatures and can be stored for longer at room
temperature.
2
Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a
cool location.
3
Switch off the appliance.
4
Pull out the mains plug or switch off the fuse.
5
To accelerate the defrosting process: place a pan
of hot water on a trivet in the freezer compartment.
6
Wipe up the condensation water with a cloth or
sponge.
7
Wipe the freezer compartment dry.
8
Switch on the appliance.
9
Put the frozen food back into the appliance.
