To defrost the freezer compartment, first
create accumulated refrigeration. To do this,
set the temperature controller (1) to "7" for
at least 3 hours prior to defrosting. The deep
frozen food will now not defrost as quickly.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to defl agration or explosion!
Never use defrosting sprays. They can
■
generate explosive gases.
Do not use any means other than
■
those recommended by the manufac-
turer to speed up defrosting. For ex-
ample, do not use any electric heat-
ing equipment, knives or devices with
an open fl ame such as a candle. The
thermal insulation and the interior
walls are scratch- and heat-sensitive
and can melt.
1. Set the temperature controller (1) to "0".
2. Disconnect the mains plug from the
socket.
3. Take the frozen food out of the freezer
compartment.
4. Ensure that your food is kept cool
enough. If you haven't got the opportunity
to store the frozen food in another freez-
er in the meantime, wrap it up in a thick
layer of newspaper and store it in a cool
room or in an insulated bag while it is de-
frosting.
5. Remove the drawers from the freezer
compartment. Wash them in warm water
with washing up liquid and dry thoroughly.
6. To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of
hot, but not boiling, water in the freezer
compartment. This will accelerate the de-
frosting process.
Care and maintenance
7. Leave the door open while defrosting
and place a cloth in front of the appli-
ance to catch thaw water which may
come out. The defrosting time depends
on the thickness of the ice layer. Expe-
rience dictates that it is possible to start
cleaning after approx. 1 hour.
8. Take the vegetable drawer (5) and the
glass shelves (6) out of the fridge com-
partment. In order to remove the door
shelves (3), push them together slightly
to the sides and simultaneously pull
them upwards out of the holders.
9. Clean all of the parts in lukewarm soapy
water. Then dry everything thoroughly.
10. Wash the interior with warm water and
washing up liquid. When wiping clean,
add a few drops of vinegar to the water
to prevent mould from forming. Wipe the
interior dry and leave the door open a
while to air.
11. The thaw water drain (7) can be found
on the reverse side of the refrigerator
area above the vegetable drawer. The
cleaning tool can be found in the open-
ing to the thaw water drain (d). Use it to
clean the thaw water drain.
12. Only clean the door seals with clean wa-
ter; they are sensitive to oil and fat.
