• The freezer should be defrosted 2 – 3 times a year, or more
often if appliance door is opened more frequently. Moving the

frozen food in the upper freezer compartment may reduce the
number of times the freezer needs to be defrosted.

additionally cool the food (see chapter “Freezing process”).
After 24 hours, remove the frozen food from the freezer and
protect them from thawing.
