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.
Important! 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 and insert
the plastic scraper

Warning! 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.

the following precautions:
• disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
• remove all food
