AEG A42200GSW0 - Manual (Page 27)

Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with hot water (not boiling) inside the
freezer.
• Leave the door open and insert the plastic scraper in the appropriate seating at the bot-
tom centre, placing a basin underneath to collect the defrost water
• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to thaw (use a wood or a plastic scraper)
• when all the ice has melted, dry the interior thoroughly and keep the scraper for future
use.
• switch on the appliance and replace the frozen foodstuff.
It is recommended to operate the appliance at the
highest position of the thermostatic control for
some hours so that it can reach the sufficient
storing temperature as soon as possible.
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.
