DEFROSTING

The items stored in the freezer and the humidity
of the surrounding air gradually 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
consumption. Small amounts of loose frost can
be removed using a plastic scraper.
Never use electrical apparatus or sharp
implements as these may damage the inside of
the appliance.
When the layer of frost and ice exceeds 4-5 mm
the freezer should be completely defrosted. It
is recommended that defrosting be performed
when there are no or only a few items stored in
the freezer.
Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Open the defrost water drain (not all models)
and leave the freezer lid open.
3. Place a tray under the defrost water drain.
4. 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 a
plastic scraper.
5. 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.
7 . When all the frost and ice have
melted, clean the inside of the appliance
using water with a mild, perfume-free
detergent. Dry the freezer with a soft
cloth.
8. If there are no defrost water drain, the ice is
removed when it is loose
9. Reconnect the power supply.
10.Return items to the freezer when the
required temperature has been reached.
Remember to reinsert the stopper in the
.
