Freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progrssively covered
with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper
provided, whenever the tickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During
this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to
remove the foodstuffs.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, comple-
te defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1. pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the thermostat knob to th
Ò0Ó setting.
2. remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers newspaper and put
it in a coll place.
3. leave the door open, and place a
basin on the top shelf of the refri-
gerator compartment, under the
draun hole, lift the plug as shown in
fig..
4. when defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly
5. keep the scraper for future use;
6. turn the thermostat knob to the
required setting or raplace the plug
in the power socket.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as
you could damage it.
Do not use a maechanical device or any artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other than those recommended by the manu-
facturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting , may
shorten their safe storage life.
