Defrosting

The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This

should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided whenever the

thickness of frost exceeds 6 mm (1/4“).

During this operation it is not necessary to switch 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 and it is advisable to peform this operation

when the appliance is empty.

To carry out complete defrosting:

1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply. If the plug is inaccessible

turn the thermostat control knob to „0“.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap in several layers of newspaper and store in a

cool place.

3. Leave the door open.

4. Carefully draw the plastic

drain spout out of the lower

part of the appliance

according to the direction of

the arrow and place a tray of

a suitable size in the

position shown.

5. During defrosting, push the

defrost water towards the

edge of the cooling plates

using a dry cloth or a

sponge. It will be collected

at the bottom of the

appliance, from where it can

be diverted into the tray and then disposed of.

6. To accelerate the defrosting process place a bowl of hot (not boiling) water

inside the freezer and close the door.

7. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly, replace the drain

spout and close the door.

8. Turn the thermostat control knob back to a medium setting and leave to run

for at least 4 hours with the 'fast freeze' switch on.

9. Replace the previously removed food.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten

their safe storage life.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as this

could damage the appliance beyond repair.
