Defrosting
11
Never use sharp metal tools as it may damage the appliance.
Never use an electrical heater, this may cause an electric shock.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of approximately 7 mm (1/4”) has formed.
Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains
plug.
Extract the water conduit and put in a water container.
6 hours before the defrosting, please set the thermostat knob at “MAX” position to make
sure the food is at the lowest temperature when you get it out. All food should be wrapped
in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Remove the freezer basket. Leave the lid open. Containers of warm water may be placed
carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished drain the water in the bottom of the freezer by removing the
cap, as illustrated below.
There is a water conduit at the bottom of the freezer, when defrosting, extract the rubber
cover, the defrosted water will drip into the hole and flow out. (NOTES: PLEASE KEEP THE
RUBBER COVER SAFE DURING THE DEFROSTING AND PUT IT BACK AFTER THE DEFROSTING
IS COMPLETE )
Extract the water conduit by 20-25mm until the water hole can be seen.
Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.
After defrosting is done, make sure there is no more water coming out before replacing
the cap.
