DEFROSTING
DOOR CONVERSION
The freezer does not defrost automatically, otherwise the frozen food would
start thawing.
A layer of frost in the compartment impairs refrigeration of the frozen food and
increases power consumption. Remove the layer of hoarfrost regularly.
Do not scrape o hoarfrost or ice with a knife or pointed object. Doing
this may damage the refrigerant tubes.
1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.
2. Set the temperature control knob to the o position (MIN) and disconnect
the mains plug from the mains socket.
3. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a stand in
the freezer.
4. Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
5. Wipe dry the compartment.
6. Plug in the appliance and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.
7. Put the frozen food back in the freezer.
If you need to hinge your door on the opposite side it is recommended that
you call your local authorised service agent to make this conversion or ask a
technician.
Before you reverse the door, you should ensure the appliance is unplugged and
empty. It is recommended to use a crosshead screwdriver and a spanner (both
not supplied).
1. Remove the upper hinge cover.
