periodically remove any accumulation
fluff. Dust and fluff obstruct the dissipation of heat
from the interior and
energy consumption. The best way to remove dust
from the heat exchanger is to use a soft brush or a
feather whisk.
Make certain that the water from defrosting can run
off unhindered via the channel. Clean out the drain
aperture occasionally, using a cotton wool bud

Potential hazards
Never use electrical appliances such as hairdryers,
hot air fans, steam cleaners, defrosting sprays or
open flames (e.g. candles) for defrosting the freezer
compartment.
The plastic interior could melt and the emerging foam -
gas could be ignited by sparks or open flame.

coatings of ice in the appliance (extremely high risk
of electric shock)

layers of newspaper of blankets.
Keep the frozen produce in a cool place until the
freezer compartment is once more ready to use.
Leave the door of the freezer compattment open.
The layers of frost and ice in the freezer compartment
are formed through normal operation. Afrer a certain
thickness is exceeded, these act as insulation and
impair the transfer of cold.
Do not scrape off this frost or ice coating as this can
damage the evaporator surface.
Carry out defrosting as quickly as possible to prevent
the removed produce from defrosting.
Continuously remove the water with a sponge
or pull out and emply the water tray underneath, in
the fridge compartment (not fitted to all models)

You can speed up the defrosting by placing a vessel
of hot (not boiling) water with a pot stand in the
freezer compartment. In this case close the freezer
compartment door.
Take care that the water tray - where fitted - does
not overflow.
When the freezer compartment is fully defrosted,
empty the water collected in the tray into your kitchen
sink.
Replace the plug in the water drain hole and replace
the water tray.
Wipe the freezer compartment dry and replace the
produce.
Re-connect the power supply to your appliance.
