Manual defrosting in the freezer compartment
After prolonged operation, a frost or ice layer may form in the freezer compartment. If
this ice layer reaches a thickness of 6 – 8 mm, defrost and clean the freezer
compartment. An excessive frost or ice layer increases the energy consumption. Before
defrosting, set the temperature regulator to the highest settings; the frozen goods store
the cold for a certain length of time.
1. Pull out the mains plug.
2. Empty the appliance and store the goods in a cool room.
3. For faster defrosting, place a vessel with warm water into the freezer
compartment.
4. Do not use mechanical objects to remove the ice layer.
5. First remove the large pieces of ice, then the small pieces from the appliance.
6. Clean the freezer compartment, including the interior parts, using a cloth and
luke-warm water with a little household detergent.
7. Rinse with clear water and wipe dry.
8. After cleaning, connect the appliance to the mains power supply again and switch
on.
