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
stick to the food and can cause skin abrasions.
1. Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store
it, covered, in a cool place.
2. Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off
the circuit breaker.
3. Remove all drawers except the bottom one. The bottom drawer serves
as a practical container to collect the water from the thawing ice.
Tip: To speed up the defrosting process, place a pan with warm water
in the appliance and close the door. Remove pieces of ice that have
fallen before they completely defrost.
4. Remove the bottom drawer and dry the interior of the bottom com-
partment thoroughly.
5. After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and interi-
or fittings ( see "Cleaning and Care" section).
