Defrosting
The freezer compartment, however, will become progrssively covered
with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper
provided, whenever the tickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During
this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to
remove the foodstuffs.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, comple-
te defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1.
Remove the frozen food from
the freezer, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it
in a very cool place.
2.
Switch off the appliance and
pull out the plug, or remove or
unscrew the safety fuses.
3.
Leave the freezer compart-
ment door open.
4.
Insert the plastic scraper into
the recess provided under the
defrost water channel and pla-
ce a collecting basin under it.
5.
Once defrosting is completed keep the scraper for future use;
6.
Turn the thermostat knob to the required setting or replace the plug in
the power socket.
Warning!
Never use metal tools to scrape off the frost
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, during defrosting , may
shorten their safe storage life.
