thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out and it

To carry out complete defrosting of the
freezer compartment proceed as

1. pull out the plug from the wall
socket or turn the thermostat knob
to the «O» setting;
2. remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put
it in a cool place;
3. leave the door open;
4. when defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly and refit the
plug;
5. keep the scraper for future use;
6. turn the thermostat knob back to
the required setting or replace the
plug in the power socket. After
letting the appliance run for at least
half an hour, replace the previously
removed food into the
compartment.
