Defrosting To defrost Carry out the defrosting procedure as quickly as possible if food has not been placed in another freezer. The longer the food is left out at room temperature, the faster it defrosts. ^ Switch the appliance off at the socket, and remove the plug. ^ Open the freezer section door.
We do not recommend the use of hot air blowers such as hairdryers for defrosting your appliance. Never 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, as they could contain substances which could damage the plastic parts and which may cause a build-up of gases and pose a danger to health. After defrosting ^ Empty the container.
^ Push the outlet pipe for defrosted water out as illustrated.
^ Mop up any residual water still in the freezer section with a sponge or absorbent cloth. ^ Push the outlet pipe back into position. ^ Clean the appliance, and then dry it thoroughly. Do not let water get into the condensate channel and drain hole. ^ Insert the plug in the socket.
^ Place a container in front of the appliance to collect the defrosted water. Make sure that the container does not overflow. To speed up defrosting, a bowl with hot water (not boiling) can be placed inside the freezer compartment.
^ Switch the appliance back on and switch on Super freeze so that the freezer section can achieve the required temperature quickly. ^ Once the temperature in the freezer has reached the required temperature, place the food back in the freezer section.
