Periods Of Non-Operation; Troubleshooting - Progress PG0853 Notice D'utilisation

About 12 hours prior to
defrosting, set a lower
temperature, in order to build up
sufficient chill reserve for the
interruption in operation.
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.
1. Switch off the appliance, or pull out
electrical plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it in
a cool place.

hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.

plastic scraper in the appropriate
seating at the bottom centre, placing a
basin underneath to collect the defrost
water.
