Defrosting

The items stored in the freezer and the
humidity of the surrounding air gradu-
ally cause frost and ice to form inside the
freezer. A thin layer of frost or ice does not
affect freezer performance, but the thicker
the layer, the higher the energy consump-
tion. Small amounts of loose frost can be
removed using a plastic scraper.
Never use electrical apparatus or sharp im-
plements as these may damage the inside
the appliance.
When the layer of frost and ice exceeds
4-5 mm the freezer should be completely
defrosted. It is recommended that defrost-
ing be performed when there are no or only
a few items stored in the freezer.
Proceed as follows:
fig. 8
1. Leave the freezer lid open.
2. Position the partition under the defrost
water drain.
3. Place a bowl of hot (but not boiling) water
in the freezer, close the lid and wait approx.
30 minutes before removing loose frost with
the plastic scraper.
4. To prevent water from damaging the floor
during defrosting, it is advisable to check
the defrost water tray from time to time and
to cover the floor around the defrost water
drain to protect against ice and splashes.
When all the frost and ice have melted,
clean the inside of the appliance using wa-
ter with a mild, perfume-free detergent. Dry
the freezer with a soft cloth.
5. Reconnect the power supply.
6. Return items to the freezer when the
required temperature has been reached.
Remember to reinsert the stopper in the
defrost water drain.
