PART 7: DEFROSTING

Disconnect the power cord from the power socket. Open the doors and take out all the food and place them in
a cool place. Using the plastic scraper remove the ice from the walls of the freezer or allow the ice to naturally
melt away. Then wipe out the remaining ice and water, wipe dry and connect the power cord to the power
socket.
ATTENTION!

Do not use sharp objects for the removal of frozen food or ice, the wall of the freezer could be scratched.

When defrosting a freezer never use electric appliances such as hair fans, hot air fans, steam cleaners,
deicing sprays or open fl ames (e.g. candles).
The plastic interior could melt and the resulting foam gas could be ignited from a spark or an open fl ame.
Never use a steam cleaner to melt a layer of ice in the appliance (high risk of injury by electrical shock).

Remove the frozen food and wrap into several newspaper layers.

Place the frozen food in a cold place until it is possible to use the freezer again.

Leave the freezer door open.

Ice deposit layers form in the freezer during the normal course of operation. After exceeding a certain
thickness, they function as insulation and interrupt heat transfer.

Do not scratch the ice deposit layer because you could damage the evaporation surface.

Perform the defrosting process as fast as possible to prevent the removed food from defrosting.

Constantly remove water using a sponge.

You can speed up the defrosting process by placing a bowl with hot water (not boiling) into the freezer.
In this case close the freezer door.

As soon as the freezer has been fully defrosted, empty the water accumulated in the bowl into a kitchen
sink.

Wipe the freezer area until dry and return the food.

Connect the appliance to the power socket.
