Freezer Compartment; Cleaning The Appliance - Gaggenau RT 282 Gebrauchsanleitung

Freezer compartment

The freezer compartment does not defrost
automatically. A layer of hoarfrost in the freezer
compartment will impair refrigeration of the frozen
food and increase power consumption. Regularly
defrost the freezer compartment.
m
Caution
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife
or pointed object. You could damage the refrigerant
tubes. Leaking refrigerant may ignite or cause eye
injuries.
Proceed as follows:
Note
Switch on the "fast" function approx. 4 hours before
defrosting. As a result, the food will drop to a very low
temperature and can therefore be stored for longer
at room temperature.
1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily
in a cool location. Place ice pack (if available)
on the frozen food.
2. Switch off the appliance.
3. Pull out the mains plug or remove the fuse.
4. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan
of hot water on a trivet in the freezer
compartment.
5. Wait until the layer of frost has thawed.
6. Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
7. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
8. Switch the appliance on again.
9. Put the frozen food back in the freezer
compartment.
