Defrosting
38
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.
Steam from a steam cleaning ap-
pliance could reach the electrical
components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
Do not use a steam cleaning appli-
ance to defrost the appliance.
Do not place electric heaters or
candles in the appliance to defrost it.
These can damage the plastic parts.
Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers. These could contain sub-
stances which could damage the
plastic parts or which might cause a
build-up of explosive gases and
pose a danger to health.
Switch the 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 mains fuse.
Leave the freezer compartment door
open.
Tip: To speed up defrosting, two bowls
of hot water (not boiling), with plates
underneath them, can be placed in the
freezer section. 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 and dry the freezer compart-
ment.
Cleaning water must not get into the
defrosting drain hole.
Reconnect to the mains and switch
the appliance back on.
Once the temperature in the freezer
compartment has reached the re-
quired temperature, place the frozen
goods back into the freezer compart-
ment.
