Defrosting
The freezer will become progressively covered with frost. This should be
removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness
of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not necessary to swit-
ch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1. Remove the frozen food from the
freezer, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a very
cool place.
2. Switch off the appliance and pull
out the plug, or turn the tempe-
rature regulator to “0”.
3. Leave the freezer compartment
door open.
4. Insert the plastic scraper into the
recess provided under the defrost
water channel and place a collec-
ting basin under it.
5. Once defrosting is completed keep the scraper for future use;
6. Turn the thermostat control knob to the required setting or replace the plug
in the power socket.
Warning!
Never use metal tools to scrape off the frost
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 shor-
ten their safe storage life.
