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 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 perform this operation when the
appliance is empty.

To carry out complete defrosting:
1. Disconnect the freezer from the electricity supply.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap in several layers of
newspaper and store in a cool place.
3. Leave the lid open.
4. To accelerate the defrosting process place a bowl
of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and
close the lid.
5. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly.
6. Turn the thermostat control back to a medium
setting between 3-4 and leave to run for at least 2
hours.
7. Replace the previously removed food.

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.
