Defrosting the Freezer Compartment:

WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools, unless recommended by manufacturer, for
this operation as they can damage the refrigeration circuit.
After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer compartment.
The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically (use
the plastic scraper if available).
Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm to main-
tain the efficiency of the freezer.
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position "5" to freeze the foods
