in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
• Freezer storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or
paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer
less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.
Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon
as possible.
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.
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 a 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. Refit the drain plug and cover in place and plug the appliance back to the
mains socket.
6. Place the food back into the freezer and set the temperature to the desired
setting.
