ly:

lukewarm water and some neutral

from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any

ing products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a
strong odor.

age the plastics used in this appliance.

cleaned with warm water with a little
washing-up liquid added.

7.2 Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelf and around the freez-
ing area.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instruc-
tions below:
1. Switch off the appliance and discon-
nect the mains plug from the mains
socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.
CAUTION!
Do not touch frozen goods with
wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
3. Leave the door open and remove the
freezing shelf. It is possible to scrape
off and remove smaller frost and ice
with a plastic scraper. Sweep off
melting water and it can be removed
if an adequately high tray is put in
front of the appliance and the defrost
water will flow into it.
In order to speed up the defrost-
ing process, place a pot of warm
water in the freezer. In addition,
remove pieces of ice that break
away before defrosting is com-
plete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
