Defrost and clean the
freezer compartment
Risk of electric shock
!
NEVER use a steam cleaner. If live
components come into contact with
condensing steam, they may short circuit
or cause an electric shock.
Explosion hazard
!
Defrosting sprays may form explosive
gases and/or contain solvents or
propellants which corrode plastic and/or
may be a health hazard.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Warning
!
Do not remove the frost with a knife or
other sharp object. Be careful not to
damage the refrigerant circulation pipes.
Ejecting refrigerant can ignite itself or lead
to damage to the eyes.
Do NOT place any electric appliances
or naked flames in the appliance.
Notes
Large accumulations of ice or hoar frost
on the freezer grids impede the efficiency
of the appliance and cause the rate of
energy consumption to increase.
If the layer of frost is greater than 5 mm
then the appliance should be defrosted. In
any case it should be done at least once
or twice a year. Most appropriately when
there is very little or no frozen food in the
freezer.
