Defrosting; Tips For Saving Energy - Proline PLCH103-1 Instruction Manual

If the ice cube tray is stuck to the freezer, loosen with a blunt tool only.
To loosen the ice cubes, twist the ice cube tray slightly or hold briefly
under flowing water.

DEFROSTING

It is recommended that the freezer is defrosted periodically or when
the thickness of the frost is more than 3 mm.
1. Unplug the appliance from the mains supply.
2. Open the door and remove all the frozen food and wrap in thick
blankets or layers of paper to keep them cold.
• An increase in temperature of frozen food packages during
defrosting will shorten the storage life.
3. Remove the drain plug located at the bottom inside the freezer
and then remove the drain cover at the front of the freezer.
Collect all defrost water on a tray. Use the supplied scraper to
remove ice.
• Important! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost as
you could damage the appliance.
4. After defrosting is finished, clean the inside of the appliance.
5. Plug the appliance back to the mains socket and refit the drain
plug and cover in place.
6. Place the food back into the freezer and set the temperature to
the desired setting.

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
