Defrosting the freezer chamber
l
It is recommended to combine de-
frosting the appliance with washing
it.
l
Excessive accumulation of ice on the
freezing areas impairs the appliance’s
freezing capacity and increases the
energy consumption.
l
Defrost the appliance at least once or
twice a year.
l
If there is food in the freezer, set the
knob to the max. position about 4
hours before the planned defrosting.
This will ensure the possibility of stor-
ing the food at the ambient tempera-
ture for a longer time.
l
After taking the food out of the freez-
er, put it in a container, wrap it with
several layers of paper, a blanket and
store it at a cool place.
l
The defrosting operation should last
as short as possible. Long storage
of food at the ambient temperature
shortens their shelf life.
