DEFROSTING THE FREEZER SECTION
The freezer section of this appliance is free from frost - no-frost.
If used correctly, no ice will be formed.
Dry and cold air is evenly distributed in the freezer and freezer compartments by means of the fan.
Cold air distributed between the shelves will evenly cool all your food, as a result of which humidity and frost
are prevented.
That is why your no-frost freezer offers ease of use, in addition to the huge capacity and stylish appearance.
If an ice layer is created after all, defrost the freezer section when the ice layer has reached a thickness of 3
mm. Remove all products from the freezer section. Store the frozen products on a cool location, packaged in
newspapers and blankets. Remove the plug from the socket and keep the door of the cooler section closed
while defrosting the freezer section.
Defrost the freezer section Defrosting can be accelerated by placing a tray with hot water in the freezer
section. Do not use sharp metal objects to scrape the freezer section clean, use a plastic ice scraper.
Clean and dry the freezer section. Insert the plug in the socket and set the thermostat to the required setting.
Place the frozen products back in the freezer section once it has reached the required temperature.
Warning Never remove ice with sharp objects, defrosting sprays, a hair dryer, a heater or something similar.
This could lead to unsafe situations and cause irreparable damage to the appliance.
TIPS
• A high ambient temperature will have a negative effect on the energy consumption. Direct sunlight and other heat
sources near the freezer also have a negative effect.
• Keep ventilation holes free. Covered and dirty holes cause a high energy consumption. Ensure sufficient space around
the freezer, so that a proper ventilation and air flow around the freezer is possible.
• Do not open the door of the freezer more often than necessary and leave the door open as short as possible.
• Set the thermostat to a lower setting if circumstances allow.
• Frost or ice will increase power consumption. Therefore, these should be removed regularly once they are 3 to 5 mm
thick.
• A door rubber that does not close properly could increase the power consumption. Therefore, have it replaced by a
skilled person in time.
• The condenser at the rear of the freezer must always be kept clean and free from dust.
• If the instructions are not observed, this could lead to a higher power consumption.
• If you do not use the appliance for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays), switch off the freezer by removing the
plug from the socket. Defrost and clean the freezer. Leave the doors slightly open to prevent moulds and smells.
