Defrosting the Freezer Compartment
• The frost, which covers the shelves of the freezer compartment, should be removed
periodically.
• Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrigerator
circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic scraper provided.
• When there is more than 5 mm of frost on the shelves, defrosting must be done.
• Before defrosting operation, place the frozen food in a cool place after wrapping them in
sheets of newspaper in order to obtain its temperature steady for long time.
• To accelerate the defrosting process place one or more basins of warm water in the
freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth.
• Once the unit has been defrosted, place the food into freezer and remember to consume
them in a short period of time.
