frozen. This applies in particular to carbonated drinks.
u
Do not freeze bottles and cans containing drinks.
u
4 hours before freezing food, set the temperature to
41 °F (5 °C) or colder.

u
Pack the food in portions in freezer bags, reusable
plastic, metal or aluminum containers.
u
Spread the food out on the floor of the compartment
and do not let it come into contact with food that is
already frozen so that this does not thaw out.
u
Set the temperature back again 24 hours after placing
the food inside the freezer.

6 Maintenance
6.1 Thawing
6.1.1 Defrosting the refrigerator
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage
u
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
u
Do not use any electrical heating or steam cleaning
equipment, naked flames or defrosting sprays for
defrosting.
u
Do not remove ice with sharp objects.
u
Do not damage the pipes of the refrigerant circuit.
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The
defrosted water will evaporate. Drops of water on the back
wall are a functional feature; this is completely normal.
u
Clean the drain opening regularly so that the condensa-
tion water can drain away. (see 6.2)
6.1.2 Defrosting the freezer compartment
After the appliance has been operating for quite a long
time a layer of frost or ice forms in the freezer compart-
ment. This is completely normal. The layer of frost or ice
forms more quickly if the door is opened frequently or the
food put into it is hot. However, a thicker layer of ice
increases energy consumption. Therefore, defrost the
appliance regularly.
