OPERATION (CONTINUED)
DEFROSTING
WHEN? Forthemostefcientoperationand
minimum energy consumption, defrost the
freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is
excessive or 5 to 10mm thick.
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food
is low.
CAUTION:
Do not use boiling water because it may
damage the plastic parts. In addition,
never use a sharp or metallic instrument to
remove frost as it may damage the cooling
coils and will void the warranty.
We recommend using the plastic ice scrap-
er provided with your unit.
Do not use ice scraper for any purpose oth-
er than scraping ice from the freezer walls.

HELPFUL HINT:
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the process. Also,
pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed melting. If you must use a scraper,
please use caution - it is very easy to damage the freezer compartment and void your warranty.
