DEFROSTING, WASHING AND MAINTENANCE

Defrosting the freezer

l It is recommended to combine defrosting
the appliance with washing it.
l Excessive accumulation of ice on the
freezing areas impairs the appliance's
freezing capacity and increases the energy
consumption.
l Defrost the appliance at least once or twice
a year.
l If there is food in the freezer, set the knob
to the max. position about 4 hours before
the planned defrosting. This will ensure the
possibility of storing the food at the ambient
temperature for a longer time.
l After taking the food out of the freezer, put
it in a container, wrap it with several layers
of paper, a blanket and store it at a cool
place.
l The defrosting operation should last as
short as possible. Long storage of food
at the ambient temperature shortens their
shelf life.
You must not put an electric heater,
a heating fan or a hair dryer into the
freezer by any means.
In order to defrost the freezer chamber,
you must take the following steps:
l Take out the plug from the mains socket.
l Open the door and remove the food from
the freezer.
l After about 0.5 hours. easily from the smo-
oth surface of the walls to remove the layer
of frost and water (Fig. 11).
l Wash and dry the interior of the freezer.
l Switch on the freezer as described in the re-
levant section of its operating instructions.
