Liebherr G 3513 Comfort - Manual (Page 10)

Items being frozen will largely retain their shape, and it will be
easier to remove exactly the right quantity later on.
In addition, you can store the cold storage accumulators in the
freezer tray to save space.

u Spread the items out loosely
on the freezer tray.
u Allow the food to freeze
through for 10 to 12 h.
u Transfer the frozen food to
freezer bags or containers.

mulators in the freezer tray to
save space.

accumulators on the frozen

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.

u If possible, put the frozen goods in the freezer drawer,
wrapped in newspaper or a blanket, and store in a cool
place.

sure compensation
