Zanussi ZU 9120 F - Manual (Page 7)

The freezer compartment will become progressively
covered with frost. This should be removed with the
special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thick-
ness of the frost exceeds 1/4".
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out
and it is advisable to carry out this operation when the
appliance is empty.
To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:
1. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
2. Turn the thermostat control knob
➆
to the «O» set-
ting.
3. Leave the door open.
4. Remove the three large drawers.
5. When defrosting is completed, remove the water
that has collected in the small bottom drawer and
dry the interior thoroughly.
Turn the thermostat control to a medium setting
between 2 and 4 and, after letting the appliance run
for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode,
replace the previously removed food into the compart-
ments.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs
during defrosting may shorten their storage life.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage the
appliance beyond repair.
