Defrosting the Freezer
WARNING:
Never use sharp metal tools, unless recommended by manufacturer, for this operation as they can damage
the refrigeration circuit.
After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer. The frost, accumulated in the freezer, should be
removed periodically (use the plastic scraper if available).
Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm to maintain the efficiency of the freezer.
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze the foods completely.
(Recommendation)
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The
inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively
short period of time.
