Miele GT 316 ES Operating Instructions Manual page 25

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
^ Mop up any residual water still in the
freezer with a sponge or absorbent
cloth.
^ Clean the freezer and then dry it
thoroughly.
^ Plug the outlet for defrosted water
with the stopper.
^ Close the lid and insert the mains
plug in the wall socket and switch it
on.
^ Switch on the Super freeze function
so that the freezer section can cool
down quickly.
The SF indicator light will come on.
^ Place the food back in the freezer
once the temperature is cold enough.
^ The Super freeze function can be
switched off as soon as -18 °C is
reached.
The indicator light will go out.
