Defrosting the ice-makercompartment
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape
off frost from the evaporator as you
could damage it. Do not use a me-
chanical device or any artificial means
to speed up the thawing process
other than those recommended by the
manufacturer.
A certain amount of frost will always form
around the ice-maker compartment.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so
it reduces cooling efficiency as the tempera-
ture increases, it needs more energy.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Switch off the appliance and disconnect
the mains plug from the mains socket.
2. Empty the ice compartment.
3. Leave the door of the appliance and ice-
maker compartment open.
Defrosting usually takes several hours.
4. When finished, pour defrost water gath-
ered out of the tray and wipe the surfaces
dry.
