Defrosting

A layer of frost on the container panels

impairs the cooling effect on the frozen

food and increases the power

consumption. You must regularly remove

this layer of frost.

General tips

n When putting food in or taking food

out, open the lid of the chest for as

little time as possible.

n Do not install the chest freezer in a

damp room. A high level of humidity

aids the formation of frost.

n Package fresh food so that it is as

air-tight as possible.

!

Attention

Do not scrape away the layer of ice

using a knife or a sharp object. You

could damage the refrigerant pipes. If

refrigerant shoots out, it may ignite or

cause eye injuries.

Defrosting the appliance

n Switch on the SuperFreezing function

approx. 4 hours before the defrosting

to ensure that the food is thoroughly

frozen.

n Then clear out the frozen food and

store it in several layers of newspaper

or wrap it in a cover and store it in a

cool place.

n Leave the lid open and unplug the

mains plug.

n Pull out the exterior drain plug

(figure '/1), remove the flat drawer or,

if present, the separating wall of the

appliance (figure '/2), lay it under the

drain hole for condensation water to

catch the condensation water

(figure '/3). and pull out the interior

drain plug (figure '/4).

n After defrosting, clean the appliance

and wipe the inside dry.

n Use the two drainage plugs to seal the

condensation drainage, insert the

separating wall, connect the appliance

and re-arrange the frozen food.

Defrosting aids

To speed up the defrosting process, you

can use a plastic scraper to remove the

layer of ice

!

Warning

Never use electrical appliances,

defrosting sprays or open flames to

defrost the freezer, e.g. heaters,

steam-cleaning appliances, candles, oil

lamps, etc.

Do not place any saucepans containing

hot water in the appliance in order to

speed up the defrosting.
