DEFROSTING THE FREEZER
A layer of frost in the freezer will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power
consumption. Remove the layer of frost regularly. Do not scrape off frost or ice with a knife or pointed
object. Doing this may damage the refrigerant tubes.

2.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains socket.
3.
To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a stand in the freezer.

Plug in the appliance and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.

Put the frozen food back in the freezer.
