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

setting.

3. Leave the door open and insert the plastic scraper

in the special location to act as an extension

channel; pull out the drawer to collect the defrost

water (see Fig.).

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior

thoroughly.

Keep the scraper for future use.

Turn the thermostat control knob to a medium setting

(-18°C) 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.

Important

In the event of a power failure causing the

temperature within your freezer to rise, do

not re-freeze the food without checking its

condition. The following guidelines should

assist you:

Ice-cream: once thawed should be discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked

and used up.

Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without

danger.

Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used up

quickly.

Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be

refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen

providing there are still ice crystals remaining

within them.

Small Joints: should be cooked and can then

be re-frozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen

as a cooked dish.
