7.4 Defrosting of the freezer
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off
frost from the evaporator as you could
damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up the thawing
process other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting set a
lower temperature in order to build up
sufficient chill reserve in case of any
interruption in operation.
A certain amount of frost will always form on
the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Switch off the appliance or pull out
electrical plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food and put it in a
cool place.
CAUTION!
A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs during defrosting may shorten
their safe storage life.
Do not touch frozen goods with wet
hands. Hands can freeze to the
goods.
3. Leave the door open. Protect the floor
from the defrosting water e.g. with a cloth
or a flat vessel.
4. In order to speed up the defrosting
process, place a pot of warm water in the
freezer compartment. In addition, remove
pieces of ice that break away before
defrosting is complete.
5. When defrosting is complete, dry the
interior thoroughly.
6. Switch on the appliance and close the
door.
7. Set the temperature regulator to obtain
the maximum coldness and run the
appliance for at least 3 hours using this
setting.
Only after this time put the food back into the
freezer compartment.
7.5 Cleaning the air channels
1. Remove the plinth (A), then the
ventilation grid (B).
2. Clean the ventilation grid. (Refer to
"Cleaning the ventilation filter". )
3. Carefully pull the air deflector out (C),
checking that there is no water left from
the defrosting.
4. Clean the lower part of the appliance with
a vacuum cleaner.
7.6 Cleaning the ventilation filter
The filter can be removed for washing.
The appliance is equipped with an air inlet
filter (1) and an air outlet duct (2) on the
ventilation grid.
1. Pinch flaps (A) and (B) with fingers.
2. Pull the filter down.
