Freezer
When the frost has reached a thickness of up to
4mm it can be removed using a plastic scraper.
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 control knob to the «OFF»
position (O) 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.
- Clean and dry thoroughly.
- Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset
the thermostat to the previous position.
- After letting the appliance run for a least half an
hour, replace the previously removed food into
the compartment.
Important
When defrosting the freezer, the fridge is also
controlled by the thermostat and will not be
operational during this period. A temperature rise of
the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may
shorten their safe storage life.
