spacers.

8. Operating the freezer

The empty freezer should be switched on for
at least 5-6 hours prior to loading of the
freezer.
The freezer should not be loaded above the
inside walls which is also the load line limit.
Please note: After the lid has been opened,
there will be a vacuum created inside the
freezer due to the low temperatures. Wait a
few minutes before trying to re-open the lid
otherwise the handle could be damaged.
9. Defrosting
In order for the freezer to work to its
maximum efficiency the cabinet should be
defrosted when a approx. 2mm thick ice layer
has formed inside the cabinet.
The ice layer is easily removed with a plastic
or wooden scraper.
Never use a sharp metal object which
might will cause damage to the inner liner.
The defrosting frequency is determined
mainly by two factors the usage pattern
(number of lid openings) and the relative
humidity.
Excess water can be drained out by using the
drain water outlet on the front of the freezer.
