Defrosting The Freezer; Periods Of Non-Operation; Troubleshooting - Leonard LK1243 Benutzerhandbuch

Defrosting the freezer

CAUTION! Never use sharp
metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you
could damage it.
A temperature rise of the frozen
food packs, during defrosting,
may shorten their safe storage
life.
Do not use a mechanical device
or any artificial means to speed
up the thawing process other
than those recommended by
the manufacturer.
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.
1. Pull out the plug from the wall socket or
switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it in
a cool place
