Defrosting the freezer

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a
thickness of about 3-5 mm.
Important! About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the
Temperature regulator toward higher settings , in order
to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in
operation.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:
1. Switch off the appliance.
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
