Cleaning And Care - AEG ARCTIS Operating Instructions Manual

Remove all drawers except the bot-
tom one. The bottom drawer serves
as a practical container to collect the
water from the thawing ice. Pull out
the drawer and insert the plastic
scraper in the special location to act
as an extension channel to collect
the defrost water.
Tip: To speed up the defrosting process,
place a pan with warm water in the appliance and close the door.
Remove pieces of ice that have fallen before they completely defrost.
After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and interi-
or fittings.
