ENGLISH

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.
Do not use the supplied ice
scraper to prepare food.
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.
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 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.
