Defrosting the Freezer Compartment

WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools, unless
recommended by manufacturer, for this ope-

certain areas in the freezer compartment. The
frost, accumulated in the freezer compart-
ment, should be removed periodically (use the
plastic scraper if available).
Complete defrosting will become necessary if
the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm to maintain the
efficiency of the freezer.
