To remove the frost, follow the instruc-
tions 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
seating at the bottom centre, plac-
ing a basin underneath to collect the
defrost water.
In order to speed up the defrost-
ing process, place a pot of warm
water in the freezer compart-
ment. In addition, remove pieces
of ice that break away before de-
frosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly and keep the
scraper for future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. After two or three hours, reload the
previously removed food into the
compartment.
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 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.
5.4 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for
long periods, take the following precau-
tions:
•
disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the ap-
pliance and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent
unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-
body to check it once in a while to pre-
vent the food inside from spoiling in
case of a power failure.
