DEFROSTING
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed.
To start defrosting procedure turn the thermostat knob to zero position
(Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the
mains plug.)
All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool
place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Remove all freezer drawers.The special defrost collection basin collects the defrost water.
Therefore defrosting can be conducted without mess.
Containers full of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up
the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the
frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters and other similar electrical
appliances for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, sponge out any defrost water which collects at the
bottom of the freezer and dry the interior thoroughly. Turn the thermostat knob to
mid point. Close the freezer door. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch
on the electricity supply. Don't forget to tape over the switch to avoid accidental
disconnection.
