Defrosting
30
To defrost
The longer the frozen goods are left
out at room temperature, the faster
they deteriorate.
Carry out the defrosting procedure
as quickly as possible.
 Risk of damage due to heat and
moisture ingress.
The steam from a steam cleaner as
well as electric heaters and candles
can damage plastic and electrical
components.
Do not use a steam cleaner, electric
heaters or candles to defrost the re-
frigeration appliance.
Defrosting sprays or de-icers can
contain substances which could
damage the plastic parts or which
might cause a build-up of explosive
gases and pose a danger to health.
Do not use defrosting sprays or de-
icers.
Ensure that water does not get into
the surrounding cabinetry.
 Switch the refrigeration appliance off.
The cooling system will be switched off.
 Switch off at the wall and withdraw
the plug from the socket, or discon-
nect the fuse.
 Leave the freezer door open.
Tip: To speed up defrosting, place two
bowls of hot water (not boiling), with
plates underneath them, in the freezer.
Closing the door in this instance will
help retain the warmth and speed up
the defrosting process.
 Remove any loose pieces of ice.
 Use a sponge or towel to soak up the
defrosted water as often as neces-
sary.
After defrosting
 Clean the freezer, then dry it thor-
oughly.
 Close the appliance doors.
 Reconnect to the mains and switch
the refrigeration appliance back on.
 Switch on the SuperFreeze function
so that the freezer can cool down
quickly.
 Once the temperature in the freezer
has reached the required temperat-
ure, place the frozen goods back in
the freezer drawers and put them
back in the freezer.
 As soon as the freezer zone reaches
a constant temperature of at least
-18°C, press the SuperFreeze button
to turn off the function.
