To defrost
Carry out the defrosting procedure
as quickly as possible if food has
not been placed in another freezer.
The longer the food is left out at
room temperature, the faster it
defrosts.
Never use a steam-cleaning
appliance to defrost this appliance.
Steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
We do not recommend the use of
hot air blowers such as hairdryers
for defrosting your freezer.
Never place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost
it. These can damage the plastic
parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers, as they could contain
substances which may damage the
plastic parts and which may cause a
build-up of gases and pose a
danger to health.
^ Switch off the appliance.
^ Disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Switch off at the wall and
withdraw the plug from the socket, or
disconnect the mains fuse or remove
the screw-out fuse in countries where
this is applicable.
^ Open the freezer door.
To speed up defrosting, two bowls of
hot water (not boiling), with plates
underneath them, can be placed in the
appliance. Closing the door in this
instance will help retain the warmth and
speed up the defrosting process.
^ Use a sponge or towel to soak up the
defrosted water.
After defrosting
^ Clean the appliance, and then dry it
thoroughly.
^ Close the appliance door.
^ Reconnect the appliance to the
electricity supply and switch it on.
^ Switch on the SuperFreeze function
so that the freezer can cool down
quickly. The indicator light will come
on.
^ Once the temperature in the freezer
is sufficiently low, place the food
back in the freezer drawers and put
them and the glass plates back in the
freezer.
^ Switch off SuperFreeze by touching
the SuperFreeze sensor when the
temperature in the freezer is a
constant -18 °C or colder.
The indicator light will go out.
