To carry out complete defrosting:

1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical

supply. If the plug is inaccessible turn the

thermostat control knob to „0“.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap in several layers of

newspaper and store in a cool place.

3. Leave the door open.
4. Carefully draw the plastic drain spout out of the

lower part of the appliance according to the

direction of the arrow and place a tray of a suitable

size in the position shown.

5. During defrosting, push the defrost water

towards the edge of the cooling plates using a

dry cloth or a sponge. It will be collected at the

bottom of the appliance, from where it can be

diverted into the tray and then disposed of.

6. To accelerate the defrosting process place a

bowl of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer

and close the door.

7. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior

thoroughly, replace the drain spout and close

the door.

8. Turn the thermostat control knob back to a

medium setting and leave to run for at least 4

hours with the 'fast freeze' switch on.

9. Replace the previously removed food.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs

during defrosting may shorten their safe storage

life.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost

from the evaporator as this could damage the

appliance beyond repair.
