Defrosting the freezer

partment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3
-
5 mm.
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:

tic scraper in the appropriate seating at
the bottom centre, placing a basin un-
derneath to collect the defrost water.

compartment. In addition, remove pieces of
ice that break away before defrosting is com-
plete.
