Operating instructions

In normal use ice and frost will form on
the evaporator plates. If allowed to
accumulate, this will impair the
efficiency of the freezer and increase
the consumption of electricity.
Do not scrape ice and frost off the
evaporator plates as this can
damage the evaporator plates and
the freezer making it unusable.
The freezer should be defrosted from
time to time. It must be defrosted if a
layer of ice approx. 5 mm thick has
accumulated. It is best to defrost when
only very little food or no food at all is
left in the freezer.
Before defrosting
^ Switch on the super freeze function
approx. 24 hours before defrosting to
ensure frozen food retains its cold
reserve for longer when taken out of
the freezer.
^
Remove the frozen food from the
freezer and place it in another freezer
or cool box or wrap it in several
layers of newspaper or cloths and
store in a cool place on top of cool
packs until the freezer is ready for
use again.
^
Take all freezer drawers out of the
freezer.
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.
^
Switch the appliance off by turning
the On/Off dial to the "0" position and
switch off at the wall socket.
^
Open the appliance door.
^ Open out the outlet guide for
defrosted water.
^
Place a suitable container in front of
the appliance and direct the outlet
guide into it. Any defrosted water will
then collect in the container.
