DEFROSTING OF THE FREEZER
CAUTION! Never use sharp metal
tools to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting set
a lower temperature in order to build
up sufficient chill reserve in case of
any interruption in operation.
Defrost the freezer compartment when the frost
layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To defrost freezer compartment:
1. Switch off the appliance or pull out electrical
plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
CAUTION! A temperature rise of
the frozen food packs during
defrosting may shorten their safe
storage life.
Do not touch frozen goods with
wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
