FREEZING GUIDELINES
Only for appliances without a quick-freeze button.
• Prevent the foods you wish to freeze from contacting any pre-frozen items.
• Always insert dry packages to stop many packages from freezing together into a single
block.
• Always split foods into portions so they can be quickly frozen.
• To freeze the maximum amount of foodstuffs shown on the specification plate follow the
guidelines below.
• Turn the thermostat knob to settings 4 to 5, 24 hours before freezing.
• Spread the foodstuffs on the top shelf (where provided) and do not open the door
unnecessarily. If required, open it only briefly.
• 26 hours after freezing started, turn the thermostat knob back to the required setting.
DEFROSTING OF THE APPLIANCE
If the refrigerator does not have a deep-freeze compartment, defrosting will occur
automatically. While defrosting water drops run down the rear wall of the unit. The water is
conveyed along a raceway and flows onto the tub located on the compressor where it
evaporates.
If the refrigerator is equipped with a deep-freeze compartment, we suggest you periodically
wipe excess hoarfrost from the inside and/or wire cooling shelves (3/4mm) to minimize
electricity consumption.
Never use sharp objects or metal tools, humidifiers, heaters, hair-dryers, antifreeze spray for
this operation. They might damage the refrigerating circuit irreparably and pose a hazard in
appliances operating with R600a.
Take the following steps to defrost: -
• Unplug the appliance or switch off the main power switch.
• Take foods out of the deep-freeze compartment.
• Turn the thermostat to setting 0.
• Wipe up the water produced by defrosting with a sponge or cloth.
• Dry the walls and/or wire cooling shelves Plug in the appliance, turn the thermostat as
required (Refer to the paragraph entitled "Getting to know the appliance").
