6.4 Defrosting 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. A

temperature rise of the frozen

food packs, during

defrosting, may shorten their

safe storage life.

About 12 hours prior to

defrosting, set a lower

temperature, in order to build

up sufficient chill reserve for

the 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, wrap it in

several layers of newspaper and put it

in a cool place.

WARNING!

Do not touch frozen

goods with wet hands.

Hands can freeze to the

goods.

3. Leave the door open.

In order to speed up the defrosting

process, place a pot of warm water in

the freezer compartment. In addition,

remove pieces of ice that break away

before defrosting is complete.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the

interior thoroughly.

5. Switch on the appliance.

After three hours reload the previously

removed food into the freezer

compartment.
