Defrosting The Freezer - Nordcap CFS 344 Bedienungsanleitung

Defrosting the freezer.

The goods and the humidity of the air will
gradually cause frost and ice to form in the
freezer unit. A thin layer of frost or ice does
not affect the functioning of the freezer,
but the thicker the coating, the higher the
energy consumption. A little loose frost can
be scraped off with a plastic or wooden
scraper. (Never use a knife or other sharp
tool, as this may damage the evaporator
unit). When the frost and ice is about 4-5
mm thick, the freezer must be defrosted. Do
this as follows:
1. Switch off the unit by turning the thermo-
stat knob to zero.
2. Pull out the spout at the bottom of the
freezer and put a bowl under it.
3. Take the food out. Keep it in the fridge or
packed in newspaper to keep it as cold
as possible.
4. Place a bowl of hot (not boiling) water in
the freezer.
5. When the ice has melted, clean the
freezer with water and a little detergent.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
6. Set the thermostat button again. Push in
the freezing button if there is a lot of food
to be put in the unit.
7. Put the food in again when the tempe-
rature has reached -18°C - you can see
this on the freezer thermometer (it takes
about an hour).
8. Switch off the freezing button.
For defrosting pull out the drain
water extension over a bowl.
