6.4 Defrosting the freezer
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could
damage it.
A temperature rise of the
frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their
safe storage life.
Do not use a mechanical
device or any artificial means
to speed up the thawing
process other than those
recommended by the
manufacturer.
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.
1. Pull out the plug from the wall socket
or switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place
CAUTION!
Do not touch frozen
goods with wet hands.
Hands can freeze to the
goods.
