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 4 mm.

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 of the (

)

freezer compartment proceed as follows:

Remove the ice-cube trays and the frozen foods and

wrap them in several sheets of newspaper or, even

better, in thermally insulated containers.

Turn the thermostat knob to the « O » position or

unplug the appliance.

Leave the door open.

Fig. 6

Insert the plastic scraper in the appropriate seating at

the bottom centre, as shown in Fig. 6, place a basin

underneath to collect the defrost water.

When defrosting is completed dry the interior

thoroughly.

Keep the scraper for future use.

Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the desired position

or replace the plug in the socket. After allowing the

appliance to run for two hours on the fast-freeze

setting, it is ready for storing frozen food again.

Important

Never use knives or metal objects to scrape away the

accumulated frost.

Remember that an increase in the surface temperature

of already-frozen foods may signiﬁcantly decrease

their storage life.

Making ice cubes

The freezer may be ﬁtted with one or more trays for

making ice cubes for the whole family. Fill the trays

with water up to 3/4 of their capacity and place them

in the fast freeze compartment; if the water in your

area contains many mineral salts (especially lime),

use natural mineral water to make ice cubes.

The ice cubes can be detached from the tray by

simply twisting it; never use metal tools to remove the

trays from the freezer.
