Defrosting the freezer compartment

The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically,
as the frozen food must not thaw. A layer of hoarfrost in
the freezer compartment will impair refrigeration of the
frozen food and increase power consumption. Remove
the layer of hoarfrost regularly.
Attention: 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

1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in
a cool location.
2. Pull out the mains plug or switch off the fuse.
3. Defrost the appliance.
4. Wipe the freezer compartment dry.
5. Switch on the appliance again.
6. Put the frozen food back in the freezer compartment.
