Freezer Compartment Defrosting
Moisture is precipitated in the form of white frost in the freezer com-
partment during operation and when the door is opened. Remove this
white frost from time to time with a soft plastic scraper, e.g. a dough
scraper. Do not under any circumstances use hard or pointed objects for
this purpose.
The appliance should be defrosted when the thickness of the white
frost has reached about 4 mm; but at least once a year in any case. A
convenient time for defrosting is any time when the appliance is empty,
or only minimally loaded.
Warning!
• Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or
artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the excep-
tion of those recommended in these operating instructions.
• Do not use defrosting sprays, because they may be health endange-
ring and/or contain substances damaging to plastics.
Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze
to the goods.
Remove frozen goods, pack them in several layers of newspaper, cover
them and store them in a cool place, e.g. in a refrigerator.
Switch off the appliance and remove plug from the mains, or switch off
or turn out the circuit breaker or the fuse.
After defrosting thoroughly clean the freezer interior, as well as interior
accessories (see section: "Cleaning and Care").
