MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
GB 18
Freezer Compartment
After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer
compartment. The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment,
should be removed periodically.
Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds
3-5 mm to maintain the efficiency of the freezer.
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position "5"
to freeze the foods completely.
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers
of paper and kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature
will shorten their storage life. Remember to use these foods within a
relatively short period of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position "0" and switch off the
appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost
water from the compartment.
• This appliance is provided with a special drain system.
1. Pull out the bottom drawer of the freezer compartment and put it on
the floor aligning it to the cabinet front.
2. Pull out the drain pipe placed on the back wall of the freezer
compartment. Then place it in the groove on the front side of the
floor of the appliance.
3. If there is still water on the freezer floor, you can clear it away by
using a sponge.
