7.4 Defrosting of the freezer
CAUTION!
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 thawing
process other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting set a
lower temperature in order to build up
sufficient chill reserve in case of any
interruption in operation.
Defrost the freezer compartment when the
frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5
mm.
To defrost freezer compartment:
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.
