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.
