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. Switch on the FROSTMATIC function a few hours before defrosting to
make sure frozen food remains sufficiently frozen.
2. Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store
it, covered, in a cool place.
3. Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off
the circuit breaker.
4. Remove all drawers except the bottom one.
The bottom drawer serves as a practical con-
tainer 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 appliance and
close the door. Remove pieces of ice that have fallen before they com-
pletely defrost.
5. After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and interi-
or fittings (see "Cleaning and Care" section).
6. Do not forget to switch the FROSTMATIC function off again.
Malfunctions
If the electronics in the appliance have detected a fault that prevents
the ACTUAL temperature being
sensed , all the lights in the temperature
display will flash. The appliance will continue to function using a back-
up
programme until your local Service Force engineer has repaired the
appliance.
