The shelves can each be loaded with 35 kg of frozen food

Maintenance

Manual defrosting

After a long period of operation, a layer of frost or ice can build up inside the appliance. The layer of frost or ice builds up faster if the appliance is opened often or if the food is warm when placed inside. However, a thick layer of ice will increase the appliance‘s energy consumption. You should therefore defrost the appliance regularly Remove ice from inside surface at top of appliance: A layer of ice forms inside at the centre of the top of the device. This ice forms as a result of physical properties. u Regularly remove the ice with a scraper tool. The appliance does not need to be be thawed for that reason.

Thawing process

Never use mechanical aids or other means that have not been recommended by the manufacturer, to speed up the defrosting process.
Do not use electrical heating or steam-cleaning appliances, naked flames or defroster sprays to defrost.
Do not use sharp objects to remove ice.
Do not damage the pipework in the cooling circuit.
