Defrosting - AEG ARCTIS 1333-6 i Operating And Installation Instructions

¥ By attaching the included index-tabs to the drawers, they can be
marked according to which type of foods the individual compart-
ments contain.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively cove-
red with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper
provided, whenever the thickness 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. Remove the frozen food from
the freezer, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it
in a very cool place.
2. Switch off the appliance and
pull out the plug, or turn the
temperature regulator to Ò0Ó.
3. Leave the freezer compart-
ment door open.
4. Insert the plastic scraper into
the recess provided under the
defrost water channel and pla-
ce a collecting basin under it.
5. Once defrosting is completed keep the scraper for future use;
6. Turn the thermostat knob to the required setting or replace the plug in
the power socket.
Warning!
Never use metal tools to scrape off the frost
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufac-
turer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting , may
shorten their safe storage life.
