Each temperature rise reduces the keeping qualities of your frozen
food. Around 12 hours before defrosting your freezer, switch over to
fast freeze to build up a low temperature reserve in the frozen food.
Warning!
• Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or
artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process.
• Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health
and/or contain substances that damage plastics.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could
freeze to the food.
Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store
it, covered, in a cool place.
Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off
the circuit breaker.
Remove all drawers except the bottom 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 appli-
ance and close the door.
Remove pieces of ice that have fallen before they completely defrost.
After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and inte-
rior fittings.
