Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always 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.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the Temperature regulator toward higher settings ,
in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place.
CAUTION!
Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.
3. Leave the door open .
In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of warm water in the freezer
compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is com-
plete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. After two or three hours, reload the previously removed food into the compartment.
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.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.
