Do not open the freezer compartment door. 0 1. About 12 hours prior to defrosting push the FROSTMATIC button, in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation. Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods. 2. Remove frozen goods, pack them in several layers of newspaper, cover them and store them in a cool place. 3. Defrost the freezer compartment (see section: "Defrosting"). 4. Switch off refrigerator and freezer and remove plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or the fuse. 5.

Warning! Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol. 6. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris. 7. Regularly unblock the condensation water drainage hole in the rear wall of the refrigeration chamber with the aid of a piece of wire. Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
