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.
Caution! A temperature rise of the
frozen food packs during defrosting
may shorten their safe storage life.
Do not touch frozen goods with wet
hands. Hands can freeze to the
goods.
3. Leave the door open. Protect the floor from the
defrosting water e.g. with a cloth or a flat vessel.
4. In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a
pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. In
addition, remove pieces of ice that break away
before defrosting is complete.
5. When defrosting is complete, dry the interior
thoroughly. .
