6 Maintenance
6.1 Manual defrosting
After a long period of operation, a layer of frost or ice can build
up inside the appliance.
The layer of frost or ice builds up faster if the appliance is
opened often or if the food is warm when placed inside.
However, a thick layer of ice will increase the appliance‘s
energy consumption. You should therefore defrost the appli-
ance regularly.
CAUTION
Risk of injury and damage as a result of hot steam!
u Do not use electric heaters or steam cleaners, naked flames
or defrosting sprays for defrosting.
u Do not remove ice using sharp instruments.
u Switch on SuperFrost one day before defrosting.
w The frozen goods are provided with a “cold reserve”.
u Switch off the appliance.
w The temperature display goes out.
w If the temperature display does not go out, the child lock
function (see 5.2) is active.
u Pull out the power plug or switch off the fuse.
u Place cold storage accumulators on top of the frozen food.
u If possible, put the frozen goods in the freezer drawer,
wrapped in newspaper or a blanket, and store in a cool
place.
u Place a pan with hot, not boiling
water on a middle shelf.
w Defrosting is speeded up.
u Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting.
u Remove detached pieces of ice.
u If necessary, pick up defrost water several times, using a
sponge or cloth.
u Clean the appliance (see 6.2) and rub dry.
6.2 Cleaning the appliance
WARNING

finish. In the case of heavy soiling, use lukewarm water with
neutral cleaning agent.*
