tely. After defrosting, the temperature
drops back to the original setting. The
water flows out through a drain hole
(Figure () and evaporates in the collecting
tray outside the device.
Be sure to keep the collection channel and
the drainage channel clean, so that the
melted water can flow out easily. Clean
out the drainage channel with the green
cleaner provided using an up-and-down
and turning motion.
Defrost the freezer compartment if the ice
formation becomes excessive. A thick coa-
ting of ice reduces the effectiveness of the
cold transfer to the frozen products.
Keep the frozen products as cold as possi-
ble and well insulated during the defro-
sting time, e.g. pack them in newspaper.
– Turn off the appliance by using the main
switch (3 sec.)
– Leave the doors open.
Defrosting can be accelerated significantly
if you place a bowl of hot water in the fre-
ezer compartment. Attention: do not use
sharp implements to remove ice or any-
thing hard frozen. Do not use an electrical
heater or an open flame for defrosting.
– After defrosting clean the interior and
dry it thoroughly.

Cleaning

The appliance is to be kept clean for the
hygienic storage of foodstuffs. It should be
washed out from time to time with a mild
soapy solution and then dried. An occasio-
nal wiping with a vinegar solution suppres-
ses odours and is recommended. Keeping
the door seals clean stops them from
sticking and thus avoids them being dama-
ged.
No scouring cleaners or scratching cloths
are to be used. Clean the door seals with a
soft brush. If the appliance has not been
used for some time, turn off by using the
main switch (3 sec.). Empty the appliance,
defrost it, clean, and then leave the cold
room as well as the freezer compartment
open.
– For cleaning the control element please
use only a humid flannel.
– Be careful that as little cleaning water as
possible goes though the drainage
channel into the collection dish.
– Before being put back in use, the appli-
ance and the seals of the cold room and
the freezer must all be completely dry.
