Defrosting of the appliance
Excessive build-up of ice will affect the
freezing performance of your appliance.
It is therefore recommended that you
defrost your appliance at least twice
a year, or whenever the ice build-up
exceeds 7 mm.
Defrost your appliance when there is
only little or no food in it.
Take out the deep-frozen food from
the drawers. Wrap the deep-frozen
food in several layers of paper, or a
blanket, and keep it in a cold place.
Unplug the appliance or switch off the
circuit breaker to start the defrosting
process.
Take out the accessories (like shelf,
drawer etc.) from the appliance and
use a suitable container to collect the
thawing water.
Use a sponge or a soft cloth to remove
thawing water if necessary
Keep the door open during defrosting.
For
quicker defrosting, place
containers with warm water inside the
appliance.
Never use electrical devices,
defrosting sprays or pointed or sharp-
edged objects such as knives or forks
to remove the ice.
After the defrosting is done, clean the
inside.
Reconnect the appliance to the mains.
Place the frozen food into the drawers
and slide the drawers into the freezer.
