D ef r ost i n g of t h e a p p lia nc e
We advise you to defrost the freezer at
least twice a year or when the ice layer has an
excessive thickness.
The ice build-up is a normal phenomenon.
The quantity and the rapidity of ice build-
up depends on the ambient conditions and on
the frequency of the door opening.
We advise you to defrost the appliance
when the quantity of frozen food is the least.
Before defrosting, adjust the thermostat
knob to a higher position so that the food
stores more cold.
- Unplug the appliance.
- Take out the frozen food, wrap it in several
sheets of paper and put them in refrigerator or
a cool place.
Take the separator panel and put it under
the freezer in the direction of the dripping
tube. Take out the obstructing plug. The
water which results will be collected in the
special tray (separator panel). After the
melting of the ice and the run-off of the
water please wipe with a cloth or with a
sponge, then dry well. Put the obstruction
plug back in its place. (Item. 6)
For a fast thaw please leave the door
open.
Do not use sharp metal objects to remove
the ice.
Do not use hairdriers or other electric
heating appliances for defrosting.
