wet hands. Hands can freeze to the
goods.

In order to speed up the defrosting proc-
ess, place a pot of warm water in the
freezer compartment. In addition, remove
pieces of ice that break away before defrosting
is complete.

terior thoroughly and keep the scraper for
future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. After two or three hours, reload the previ-
ously removed food into the compartment.
Warning! 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.
