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 rea-
ches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

About 12 hours prior to defrosting,
set the Temperature Regulator to-
ward higher settings , in order to
build up sufficient chill reserve for
the interruption in operation.

To remove the frost, follow the instructions
below:
• Switch off the appliance and disconnect

the mains plug from the mains socket.

• Remove any stored food, wrap it in sev-

eral layers of newspaper and put it in a
cool place.

• Do not touch frozen goods with wet

hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.

•

CAUTION!

• Leave the door open and insert the plas-

tic scraper in the appropriate seating at
the bottom centre, placing a basin un-
derneath to collect the defrost water.

In order to speed up the defrosting
process, place a pot of warm water
in the freezer compartment. In ad-
dition, remove pieces of ice that
break away before defrosting is
complete.

• When defrosting is completed, dry the

interior thoroughly and keep the scraper
for future use.

• Switch on the appliance.
• Turn the Temperature Regulator to a me-

dium position and leave to run for at
least 4 hours with the "Freezer Switch"
switch on.

• After the Red Indicator Light has gone

out, reload the previously removed food
into the compartments.
