circumstances).
The fridge compartment is defrosted automatically.
Danger warnings_
Never use electrical appliances to defrost your
appliance, such as a hair dryer, fan heater,
dehumidifiers, de-icing sprays or anything with a
naked flame (e.g. candles).
The plastic inside of your appliance could melt and
the escaping gas or foam could be ignited by sparks
or by the naked flame.
On no account should a steam cleaning device be
used to defrost the layers of ice in the appliance
(great risk of an electric shock).
Proceed as MIows to defirost your appliance:
1. Provide a suitable non-metallic container (a plastic
container or wash-basket).
2. Make absolutely sure that you remove the plug
from the power socket.
3. Dry your hands thoroughly to prevent skin damage
from contact with ice
(it is advisable to use gloves).
4. Remove all frozen food from the freezer and roll it
firmly in newspaper place it in the container
already prepared and place the container in a cool,
dry room.
5. Cover the container all around with a thick blanket.
6. Remove the drawers by pulling them as far out as

7. As described previously, scrape the thickest ice
carefully from inside the freezer and put it in the
kitchen sink.
8. If your appliance is equipped with a drip duct at the
bottom of the appliance, pull it out and place a
bowl to catch the dripping water underneath it.
9. If necessary, speed up defrosting by placing a
large bowl of warm (not too hot) water on the
bottom of the appliance and close the door.
10. If your appliance is not equipped with a drip duct,
place an absorbent cloth underneath the front of
the appliance and wipe up the defrosting water
with a sponge.

water and a little vinegar and then rinse it out with
Clearwater.
