6.4 Defrosting of the freezer
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off
frost from the evaporator.
Use only accessories recommended by
the manufacturer to speed up thawing.
Set a lower temperature about 12 h prior
to defrosting.
It is normal for a thin layer of frost to form on
the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment. Defrost the freezer when the
frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5
mm.
