Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on the
freezer shelves and around the top
compartment. Defrost the freezer when the frost
layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls
with hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer.
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evaporator
as you could damage it. Do not use
a mechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing
process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may
shorten their safe storage life.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting,
set the Temperature Regulator
toward higher settings , in order to
build up sufficient chill reserve for
the interruption in operation.
1. Switch off the appliance and disconnect the
mains plug from the mains socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place.
CAUTION!
Do not touch frozen goods with
wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
3. Leave the door open and insert the plastic
scraper in the appropriate seating at the
bottom centre, placing a basin underneath
to collect the defrost water.
In order to speed up the defrosting process,
place a pot of warm water in the freezer
compartment. In addition, remove pieces of
ice that break away before defrosting is
complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the
interior thoroughly and keep the scraper for
future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Turn the Temperature Regulator to the Full
Loaded position and leave to run for at least
8 hours.
7. After the Red Indicator Light has gone out,
reload the previously removed food into the
compartments.
8. Adjust the Temperature Regulator
according to the quantity of the stored
foods.
