Defrosting the freezer
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.
Remove the freezer drawers and place them on top
of each other by turning every other drawer one half
turn. Put insulating material around the drawers, e.g.
blankets or newspapers.
The frozen products can also be packed closely
together and be kept in a cold location, e.g. in the
fridge.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with
hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer.
Loosen the drainage channel from its resting
position and push in according to the illustration and
place it in the bottom freezer drawer where water can
collect.
Carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to thaw.
Use a wood or plastic scraper. Do not use sharp
objects as these may damage the interior.
When all the ice has melted, clean and wipe the
cabinet dry, then put the drainage channel back in
place.
Switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen
foodstuff.
Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is defrosted automatically every time the
compressor stops. Frost formation can be prevented
by:
· not putting warm foodstuff inside the cabinet.
· avoiding frequently opening the door or keeping
it open too long.
Change of carbon filter
To maintain the best performance the carbon filter
should be changed once a year with normal usage.
New carbon filters can be purchased from your local
dealer. The filter is placed behind the grill and can be
reached by opening the cover. The cover can be
opened by simultaneously pressing the lever on the
right of grill (1) and turning the cover outward (2).
The carbon filter is then pulled out of its slot (3).
The new carbon filter is placed in the existing slot -
The filter should be handled carefully so fragments
don't loosen from the surface.
When the appliance is not in use
Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the
doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to
check it once in a while to prevent the food inside
from spoiling in case of a power failure.
Never use a hair drier or other heating
appliances to speed up defrosting. Excessive
heat may damage the plastic interior, and
humidity could enter the electric appliance
making it live.
