Defrosting 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 a lower temperature, in order to
build up sufficient chill reserve for
the interruption in operation.
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.
1. Switch off the appliance, or pull out
electrical plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place.
WARNING!
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.
After three hours reload the previously removed
food into the freezer compartment.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from electricity
supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Defrost (if necessary) and clean the
appliance and all accessories.
4. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
5. Leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
WARNING!
If you want to keep the appliance
switched on, ask somebody to
check it once in a while to prevent
the food inside from spoiling in case
of a power failure.
