Defrosting
The freezer compartment, will become progressively
covered 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, complete defrosting should be carried out
and it is advisable to carry out this operation when the
appliance is empty.
To carry out complete defrosting of the (
)
freezer compartment proceed as follows:
Remove the ice-cube trays and the frozen foods and
wrap them in several sheets of newspaper or, even
better, in thermally insulated containers.
Turn the thermostat knob to the « O » position or
unplug the appliance.
Leave the door open.
Fig. 6
Insert the plastic scraper in the appropriate seating at
the bottom centre, as shown in Fig. 6, place a basin
underneath to collect the defrost water.
When defrosting is completed dry the interior
thoroughly.
Keep the scraper for future use.
Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the desired position
or replace the plug in the socket. After allowing the
appliance to run for two hours on the fast-freeze
setting, it is ready for storing frozen food again.

Important
Never use knives or metal objects to scrape away the
accumulated frost.
Remember that an increase in the surface temperature
of already-frozen foods may significantly decrease
their storage life.
Making ice cubes
The freezer may be fitted with one or more trays for
making ice cubes for the whole family. Fill the trays
with water up to 3/4 of their capacity and place them
in the fast freeze compartment; if the water in your
area contains many mineral salts (especially lime),
use natural mineral water to make ice cubes.
The ice cubes can be detached from the tray by
simply twisting it; never use metal tools to remove the
trays from the freezer.
