from the power socket.
3. Dry your hands thoroughly to prevent skin damage by contact with ice (it is
advisable to use gloves).
4. Remove all frozen food from the freezer, roll it firmly in newspaper, put it into
the container, and place the container in a cool, dry room.
5. Cover up the container all around with a thick blanket.
6. Lift the separator (not all models are equipped) upwards out of the guide-rail of

under the freezer where the defrosting water drain-plug is located.
8. Pull the plug (as far as provided) out of the freezer bottom.
9. Scrape the thickest ice carefully from the freezer inside and put it into the
kitchen sink for defrosting. Use a plastic or wooden-made scraper without sharp
edges only.
10. If necessary, speed up defrosting by placing a large pot of warm (not too hot)
water on the freezer bottom.
11. In freezers not provided with a drain-plug, continuously wipe up the water with
a sponge.
12. Thoroughly clean the inside. Rinse it with a mixture of warm water and vinegar,
thereafter rinse with clear water.
13. Wipe the freezer with an absorbent cloth thoroughly dry and vent it for about 3
to 4 minutes.
14. Replace the drain-plug (if provided).
15. Empty the defrosting water dish (if provided) and reinstall it as separator into
the guide rails of the freezer.
16. Close the appliance and plug it in again.

and switch on the FAST FREEZE SWITCH (if provided) (the yellow lamp lights
additionally).

two hours.
