
We advise you to defrost the freezer at
least twice a year or when the ice layer has an
excessive thickness.

The ice build-up is a normal phenomenon.
 The quantity and the rapidity of ice build-
up depends on the ambient conditions and on
the frequency of the door opening.

We advise you to defrost the appliance
when the quantity of frozen food is the least.

Before defrosting, adjust the thermostat
knob to a higher position so that the food
stores more cold.
- Unplug the appliance.
- Take out the frozen food, wrap it in several
sheets of paper and put them in refrigerator or
a cool place.
Take the separator panel and put it under the
freezer in the direction of the dripping tube.
Take out the obstructing plug. The water
which results will be collected in the special
tray (separator panel). After the melting of the
ice and the run-off of the water please wipe
with a cloth or with a sponge, then dry well.
Put the obstruction plug back in its place.

For a fast thaw please leave the door open.
Do not use sharp metal objects to remove

heating appliances for defrosting.
