How to Defrost the Freezer

How to Defrost the Freezer
The frost should be removed from the walls of the appliance
periodically.
When defrosting, remove the frozen food from the appliance,
wrap it in newspaper and store in a cool place. Since the rise
in temperature will shorten the storage life of the food, it
should be used as soon as possible.
Never use sharp metal objects to remove frost because they
could pierce the cooling circuit and damage the freezer
beyong repair.

- To defrost the appliance completely (this should be done
once or twice a year), turn off the green light and leave the
door open until the frost has completely thawed.
- The freezer is equipped with a system to drain the water,
simply place a container in position as shown in fig.2.

You can speed this process by placing containers of
warm water in the appliance.
