Defrosting The Freezer; Troubleshooting - Zanussi ZBB28442SA User Manual

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.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place.
WARNING!
Do not touch frozen goods with
wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
