Maintenance
Defrosting
It is a normal phenomenon that a part
of the internal humidity is turned into
frost and ice during operation.
However, a thick frost or ice layer has
an insulating effect and thus reduces
the freezing performance leading to
rising internal temperatures and
higher energy consumption and,
above a certain layer thickness, to
difficulties in the opening or sudden
break of the freezer door.
If the formation of frost and ice is not
significant, use the spatula
(accessory) to remove or scrape off
the frost or ice layer.
Please note that the tray shown in the
figure is not an accessory.
If the frost or ice layer is too thick for
removal with the spatula, defrosting
will be necessary. The frequency of
defrosting depends on the actual use.
To defrost the product:
Set the thermostat to position << >>.
Disconnect the product from the
mains.
After removing them from the freezer,
place the frozen foods in a basket
padded with paper or cloth and kept in
a cool place, or relocate them into the
deep-freezing or cooling compartment
of a normal fridge.
Leave the door open.
From time to time use a cloth or
