To carry out complete defrosting:
1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply. If the plug is inaccessible turn the
thermostat to 0.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap in several layers of
newspaper and store in a cool place.
3. Leave the door open.
4. Carefully draw the plastic drain spout out of the
lower part of the appliance according to the
direction of the arrow and place a tray of a suitable
size in the position shown.
5. During defrosting, drive the defrost water towards
the edge of the cooling plates using a dry cloth or a
sponge. It will be collected at the bottom of the
appliance, from where it can be diverted into the
tray and then disposed of.
6. To accelerate the defrosting process place a bowl
of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and
close the door.
7. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly, replace the drain spout and close
the door.
8. Turn the thermostat control back to a medium
setting between and leave to run for at least 4
hours with the 'fast freeze' switch on.
9. Replace the previously removed food.
Important
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.
