Defrosting
When the frost has reached a
thickness of up to 4mm it can be
removed using the ice scraper
provided with the appliance. During
this operation it is not necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the
mains and remove the food. Never
use metal tools for this operation.
For complete defrosting (once or
twice a year) proceed as follows:
- turn the thermostat (E) dial to the
«OFF» position (0) or disconnect
the appliance from the mains.
- Remove any food from inside the
freezer and fridge, wrap it in
several sheets of newspaper and
store in a cool,dry place.
- Leave the door open and insert the
ice scraper under the channel in
the centre of the lower part of the
appliance; place a low-sided
container beneath the scraper to
collect the water (see fig.).
- Clean and dry thoroughly.
- Replace the scraper in one of the
drawers .
- Reconnect the appliance to the
mains or reset the thermostat to a
functioning position.
- After letting the appliance run for at
least two hours in fast freeze
mode, replace the previously
removed food into the
compartment.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten
their safe storage life.
