7.2 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.
About 12 hours prior to defrost-
ing, set the Temperature Regula-
tor toward higher settings , in or-
der to build up sufficient chill re-
serve for the interruption in oper-
ation.
To remove the frost, follow the instruc-
tions below:
1. Switch off the appliance and discon-
nect the mains plug from the mains
socket.
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 in the appropriate
seating at the bottom centre, plac-
ing a basin underneath to collect the
defrost water.
In order to speed up the defrost-
ing process, place a pot of warm
water in the freezer compart-
ment. In addition, remove pieces
of ice that break away before de-
frosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly and keep the
scraper for future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Turn the Temperature Regulator to
the Full Loaded position and leave
to run for at least 8 hours.
7. After the Red Indicator Light has
gone out, reload the previously re-
moved food into the compartments.
8. Adjust the Temperature Regulator
according to the quantity of the stor-
ed foods.
WARNING!
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evapo-
rator 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.

7.3 Periods of non-operation
