Defrosting
The freezer compartment will become progressively
covered with frost.This should be removed with the
special plastic scraper provided, whenever the
thickness of the 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 carry out this operation
when the appliance is empty.
To carry out complete defrosting proceed as
follows:
1. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
2. Turn the thermostat control knob (1) to the «O».
3. Leave the door open.
4. Remove the three large drawers.
5. When defrosting is completed, remove the water
that has collected in the small bottom drawer and
dry the interior thoroughly.
Turn the thermostat control knob to a medium
setting and, after letting the appliance run for at least
two hours in the «fast freeze» mode, replace the
previously removed food into the compartments.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs
during defrosting may shorten their storage
life.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off
frost from the evaporator as you could
damage the appliance beyond repair.

out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the
ELECTRICITY supply.
