Defrosting 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. A temperature rise
of the frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.
About 12 hours prior to
defrosting, set a lower
temperature, in order to build up
sufficient chill reserve for the
interruption in operation.
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.
Warning! Do not touch
frozen goods with wet hands.
Hands can freeze to the
goods.
3. Leave the door open and insert the ice
scraper in the appropriate seating at
the bottom centre, placing a basin
underneath to collect the defrost water.

Troubleshooting

Warning! Refer to Safety
chapters.

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.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the
interior thoroughly and keep the ice
scraper for future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
After three hours reload the previously
removed food into the freezer
compartment.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from electricity
supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
Warning! If the cabinet will be
kept on, ask somebody to check
it once in a while to prevent the
food inside from spoiling in case
of a power failure.
