Care and Cleaning

Defrosting the freezer
When the ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the freezer
should be defrosted. We suggest that you defrost your
freezer when there is little or no food inside.

newspapers, and keep them in a cold place.
Leave the appliance lid open.

Spare baskets can be obtained from your local
Service Force Centre or from the Electrolux website
(depending on country). The illustrations on this page
show how many baskets can be placed in the various
freezer models.
The defrost water can be collected in a tray as shown
in the drawing. If available, use the divider.
Speed up defrosting by using the enclosed scraper to
detach the ice from the appliance walls.

Remember to replace the plug in the water drain.
