DEFROSTING OF 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.

About 12 hours prior to defrosting set

a lower temperature in order to build

up sufficient chill reserve in case of

any interruption in operation.

Defrost the freezer compartment when the frost

layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To defrost freezer compartment:

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. 

CAUTION! A temperature rise of

the frozen food packs during

defrosting may shorten their safe

storage life.

Do not touch frozen goods with

wet hands. Hands can freeze to

the goods.

3. Remove the ice tray.

4. Leave the door open. Protect the floor from the

defrosting water e.g. with a cloth or a flat

vessel.

5. 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.

6. When defrosting is complete, dry the interior

thoroughly.

7. Switch on the appliance and close the door.

8. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the

maximum coldness and run the appliance for

three hours using this setting.

Only after this time put the food back into the

freezer compartment.
