Defrosting
The freezer compartment, however,
will become progressively covered
with frost. This should be removed
with the special plastic scraper
provided, whenever the thickness 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, complete
defrosting should be carried out as
follows:
1. Pull out the plug from the wall
socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and
put it in a cool place.
3. Open the door and clean the
appliance according to 'Periodic
cleaning'.
Maintain and clean the freezer as
following:
• Sweep off the melting water with a
cloth or sponge in direction of
sides of the cooling plates.The
melting water swept down gathers
in the outlet channel practically
formed in the bottom of the
appliance and can be removed
according to figure.
• Put an adequately high bowl or
dish under the outlet.
The bowl in figure is not a piece of
accessories to the appliance!
4. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly; keep the
scraper for future use.
