Defrosting the freezer

• The freezer will gradually get covered with ice. The ice must be removed. Never use pointed
metallic tools to scratch the ice off the evaporator as you could damage it. When the ice becomes
very thick on the inner lining, it must be fully defrosted:
• Unplug it from the power supply. Remove the drain plug inside the freezer. Defrosting usually
takes a few hours. For faster defrosting, keep the freezer door open.
3 For draining, place a container under the exterior drain plug. Pull out the drain knob.
4 Turn the drain knob through 180°. This will make the water drain into the container. When
defrosting is finished, push the drain knob. Replace the drain plug inside the freezer compartment.
Keep an eye on the container used to collect the drain water so that it doesn't overflow.
• Wipe down the inside of the freezer and plug it back in.
• Reposition the temperature control on the function required.
