Defrosting the freezer
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.
Remove the freezer drawers and
place them on top of each other by
turning every other drawer one half
turn. Put insulating material around
the drawers, e.g. blankets or
newspapers.
The frozen products can also be
packed closely together and be kept
in a cold location, e.g. in the fridge.
Defrosting can be accelerated by
placing bowls with hot water (not
boiling) inside the freezer.
Take out the drain spout and place it
in the bottom freezer drawer where
water can collect.
Loosen the ventilation grille to
enable the bowl to fit under the drain
spout.
Carefully scrape off the ice when it
starts to thaw. Use a wood or plastic
scraper. Do not use sharp objects as
these may damage the interior.
When all the ice has melted, clean
and wipe the cabinet dry, then push
the drain spout back in place.
Switch on the cabinet and replace
the frozen foodstuff.
Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is defrosted automatically every time the compressor stops. Frost
formation can be prevented by:
· not putting warm foodstuff inside the cabinet.
· avoiding frequently opening the door or keeping it open too long.
· do not place foodstuffs directly against the cold cooling plate.
Never use a hair drier or other
heating appliances to speed up
defrosting. Excessive heat may
damage the plastic interior, and
humidity could enter the electric
appliance making it live.
