Removing frost by thawing
If the frost layer is too thick to be scraped off, it has to be at least
partially melted.
• Remove the plug (1) on the front side of the freezer.
• Insert the supplied tube into the opening (2) an place a
container to collect the water from the melted frost underneath
it.
• Remove the plug (3) on the bottom of the freezer.
• Leave the cover open to speed up the thawing process. Use a
soft cloth to wipe the interior surfaces. Replace both plugs and
save the tube for later use.
• Do not use any defrosting sprays as they may melt the plastic
parts or harm your health.
