Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form

on the freezer shelves and around the top

compartment.

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer rea-

ches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

Important! About 12 hours prior to

defrosting, set the Temperature regulator

toward higher settings , in order to build up

sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in

operation.

To remove the frost, follow the instructions

below:

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in

several layers of newspaper and put it

in a cool place.

Caution! Do not touch frozen goods

with wet hands. Hands can freeze to

the goods.

3. Leave the door open and insert the

plastic scraper in the appropriate seat-

ing at the bottom centre, placing a ba-

sin underneath to collect the defrost

water

In order to speed up the defrosting

process, place a pot of warm water in

the freezer compartment. In addition,

remove pieces of ice that break away

before defrosting is complete.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the

interior thoroughly and keep the scra-

per for future use.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. After two or three hours, reload the

previously removed food into the com-

partment.

Warning! Never use sharp metal tools

to scrape off frost from the evaporator

as you could damage it.

Do not use a mechanical device or any

artificial means to speed up the thaw-

ing process other than those recom-

mended by the manufacturer.

A temperature rise of the frozen food

packs, during defrosting, may shorten

their safe storage life.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long

periods, take the following precautions:

•

disconnect the appliance from elec-

tricity supply

• remove all food

• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appli-

ance and all accessories
