compartment, loosen with a blunt implement only

(spoon-handle).

3. To loosen the ice cubes, twist the ice-cube tray

slightly or hold briefly under flowing water.

1. Remove all food from the appliance.

2. Switch off the appliance.

3. Defrost the appliance.

4. Clean the appliance.

5. Leave the appliance door open.

Defrosting

Freezer compartment

A layer of frost in the freezer compartment impairs the

cooling effect on the frozen food and increases the

power consumption. If there is a layer of frost, you must

defrost the appliance.

General tips

■ When putting food in or taking food out, open the

appliance door for as little time as possible.

■ Do not install the appliance in a damp room. A high

level of humidity aids the formation of frost.

■ Package fresh food so that it is as air-tight as

possible.

m Caution

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

1. Turn the temperature controller to the coldest

temperature approx. 3 hours before the defrosting

to ensure that the food is thoroughly frozen.

2. After 3 hours, switch off the appliance.

3. Take out the food and store it in a cool place. Place

an ice block (if you have one) on the food.

4. Leave the appliance door open.

5. Put a wiping cloth in front of the appliance to collect

water that might escape during the defrosting

process.

6. Wait until the layer of ice can be removed.

7. Remove the layer of ice, clean the freezer

compartment and wipe dry its inside.

8. Switch on the appliance and put the food back in.

Defrosting aids

To speed up the defrosting process, you can use a

plastic scraper to remove the layer of ice.

m Caution

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.

Cleaning the appliance

m Caution

■ Do not use gritty, acidic or chlorine-based cleaning

agents or solvents.

■ Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or sponges that

may scratch surfaces. This may lead to corrosion of

the metallic surfaces.

■ Never clean the containers in the dishwasher. The

parts may warp.

Proceed as follows:

1. Switch off the appliance before cleaning.

2. Unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off

the circuit-breaker.

3. Take out the food and store it in a cool place. Place

an ice block (if you have one) on the food.

4. Wait until the layer of frost has thawed out.

5. Clean the appliance with a soft cloth, lukewarm

water, and a little pH-neutral washing-up liquid. The

washing-up liquid solution must not be allowed to

run into the evaporation tray through the drain hole.

6. Only wipe the door seal with clean water and then

rub it until it is dry.
