Defrosting The Freezer - AEG SCS41800S0 Notice D'utilisation

DEFROSTING THE FREEZER

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.

About 12 hours prior to defrost-
ing, set the Temperature regula-
tor toward higher settings, in or-
der to build up sufficient chill re-
serve for the interruption in op-
eration.
To remove the frost, follow the instruc-
tions 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 hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
3. Leave the door open and insert the
plastic scraper in the appropriate
seating at the bottom centre, plac-
ing a basin underneath to collect
the defrost water.
In order to speed up the de-
frosting process, place a pot of
warm water in the freezer com-
partment. In addition, remove
pieces of ice that break away
before defrosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly and keep
the scraper for future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. After two or three hours, reload the
previously removed food into the
compartment.
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 thaw-
ing process other than those recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten
their safe storage life.
