Defrosting and cleaning the freezer

compartment

Moisture from the food and the ambient air forms

frost inside the compartment in the appliance.

The interior walls of the freezer compartment must

be cleared of all ice and frost at least once a year

or whenever the layer of frost is approx. 5 mm

thick. Otherwise the ice will create an insulating

layer which makes refrigeration more difficult and

will increase the power consumption.

Danger!

Never use defrosting sprays. They can cre-

ate explosive gases. Do not use any electric

heating devices, open flames or ice scrap-

ers either. They might cause the insulation

to melt or to be scratched.

Caution!

Never use agressive detergents (soda,

scouring powder, etc.). They affect the plas-

tic surfaces.

1. At least 3 hours before defrosting, set the

temperature regulator 4 to "5". This gives the

frozen food a cold reserve so that it will not

thaw too fast.

2. Set the temperature regulator to "0" after three

hours.

3. Remove the plug from the wall socket.

4. Remove the frozen food. Wrap it in a thick

layer of newspaper and place it in a laundry

basket in a cool place. You can also use the

refrigerator.

5. Leave the door open during defrosting.

6. Place a dish with hot, but not boiling water in

the freezer compartment. This accelerates

the defrosting process.

The defrosting time depends on the thickness

of the ice layer. Experience has shown that

you can start cleaning the appliance after ap-

prox. 1 hour.

7. Put some absorbant cloths in the freezer

compartment and wring them out regularly.

8. Clean the inside of the compartment by wip-

ing it with hot water and washing-up liquid.

Add a few drops of vinegar to the water and

wipe the surface again. This prevents mould

from forming. Dry thoroughly.

9. The door seal can be affected by oil and

grease. Clean it with clean water only and

leave it to dry thoroughly.

10. After cleaning, rub everything dry, including

the door seal, and air everything for a short

period.

11. Put the plug back into the wall socket and set

the temperature regulator 4 to "5".

12. Put the frozen products back into the freezer

compartment.

13. Return the temperature regulator to its usual

position as soon as a temperature of –18° C

has been reached.

Checking and cleaning the door seals

Regularly check the door seals to prevent hot air

from entering the appliance.

1. You can check this by clamping thin sheets of

paper between the door and the unit at several

places. The paper should be equally difficult to

pull through in all places.

2. If the seal does not make even contact

throughout: Carefully heat the seal with a hair

dryer at the relevant locations and use your fin-

gers to pull it out a bit.

3. Only use clean water to clean dirty seals.

Replacing the light bulb

Danger!

Only use light bulbs of max. 15 W, 230 V, and

fitting E 14.

1. Remove the plug from the wall socket.

2. Let the bulb cool down.

3. Pull the cover off the back of the light (see illus-

tration R).

4. Unscrew the light bulb from its holder.

5. Replace it by a new light bulb of the same

type.

6. Replace the cover.

7. Put the mains plug back into the socket.
