Defrosting the appliance
Automatic defrost of the refrigeration compartment
The refrigeration compartment defrosts automatically from time to time.
Defrosting a conventional freezer
•
Defrost a conventional freezer once a layer of about 2 to 3 millimetres of frost or ice has formed
on the inside.
INFORMATION!
24 hours before defrosting, activate the intensive freezing function to additionally cool the food.
After this period, remove the food in the freezer and protect it so that it cannot partially or completely
thaw.
•
Switch off the appliance (see chapter 'Operating the appliance') and unplug the power cord.
WARNING!
Do not use any defrosting sprays as they may melt the plastic parts or harm your health.
WARNING!
Do not use a knife or any other sharp object to remove the frost, because you may damage a
pipe of the cooling system.
•
Clean and dry the appliance interior (see chapter 'Cleaning the Appliance').
Cleaning the appliance
WARNING!
Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the socket before you start cleaning it.
WARNING!
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, as they can damage the surface.
INFORMATION!
Activate the intensive freezing function 24 hours before you plan to clean the freezer.
•
Regularly clean the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water. If so required, add a neutral
cleaning agent or special refrigerator cleaner to the water. Clean all surfaces with a soft cloth.
Wipe the cleaned parts with a cloth with clean water and then dry them thoroughly.
•
Do not put parts of the appliance in a dishwasher: this could damage them.
WARNING!
When you are not going to use the appliance for a longer period then switch it off with the
appropriate key and disconnect it from the mains. Empty, defrost and clean the appliance, and
leave the door ajar.
