5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain 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 damage the appliance. Do not
use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than
those recommended by the manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, dur-
ing defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.

1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
3. Remove all food.

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.
