What To Do If - Zanussi ZQA12430DA Notice D'utilisation

Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form around
the top compartment.
Important! Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches
a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place.
3. Open the door.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maximum
coldness and run the appliance for two or three
hours using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food into the com-
partment.
Warning! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off
frost from the evaporator 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.
