6.4 Defrosting the freezer

CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could
damage it.
A temperature rise of the
frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their
safe storage life.
Do not use a mechanical
device or any artificial means
to speed up the thawing
process other than those
recommended by the
manufacturer.
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the
top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Pull out the plug from the wall socket
or switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put
it in a cool place
CAUTION!
Do not touch frozen
goods with wet hands.
Hands can freeze to the
goods.
3. Open the door.
In order to speed up the defrosting
process, place a pot of warm water in
the freezer compartment. In addition,
remove pieces of ice that break away
before defrosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to
obtain the maximum coldness and
run the appliance for two or three
hours using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food
into the compartment.
6.5 Replacing the CLEANAIR

CONTROL filter

The carbon air filter is an active carbon
filter which absorbs bad odors and
permits to maintain the best flavour and
aroma for all foodstuffs without risk of
odor cross contamination.
During the operation, always
keep the air ventilation flap
closed.
The air filter should be
handled carefully to prevent
its surface from being
scratched.
On delivery, the carbon filter
is in a plastic bag to
preserve performance. Place
the filter in the slot before
activating the appliance.
1. Pull out of the slot the exhausted air
filter.
The air filter is placed behind the flap
and can be reached by pulling the
flap outward.
2. Insert the air filter in the slot.
3. Close the flap.
To get the best performance the
CLEANAIR CONTROL filter should be
changed once every year.
