Defrosting Freezer Compartment - Smeg FC360A1 Instruction Booklet

Defrosting Freezer compartment

• The frost, which covers the shelves of the freezer compartment, should be removed
periodically.
• Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrig-
erator circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic scraper pro-
vided.
• When there is more than 5 mm of frost on the shelves, defrosting must be done.
• Before defrosting operation, place the frozen food in a cool place after wrapping
them in sheets of newspaper in order to obtain its temperature steady for long time.
• This appliance is provided with a special drain system.

drain cover (A) which is at the back of the drawer (figure-1).
