DEFROSTING THE FREEZER
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 10-15 mm.
The best time to defrost the freezer when
it contains no or only a little food.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1.
Switch off the appliance.
2.
Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.
3.
Leave the lid open , remove the plug
from the defrost water drain and col-
lect all defrost water on a tray. Use a
scraper to remove ice quickly.
4.
When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly and refit the
plug.
5.
Switch on the appliance.
6.
Set the temperature regulator to ob-
tain the maximum coldness and run
the appliance for two or three hours
using this setting.
7.
Reload the previously removed food
into the compartment.
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost as you could dam-
age the appliance. Do not use a
mechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing
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.

If the cabinet will be kept on, ask
somebody to check it once in a
while to prevent the food inside
from spoiling in case of a power
failure.
