Defrosting the freezer
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer rea-
ches a thickness of about 10-15 mm.
The best time to defrost the freezer when it
contains no or only a little food.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in sev-
eral layers of newspaper and put it in a
cool place.
3. Leave the lid open , remove the plug from
the defrost water drain and collect all de-
frost water on a tray. Use a scraper to re-
move ice quickly.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the in-
terior thoroughly and refit the plug.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain
the maximum coldness and run the ap-
pliance for two or three hours using this
setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food into
the compartment.
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost as you could damage the
