Defrosting

The.freezer.compartments.of.this.unit.is.frost.free..With.proper.use,.there.should.not.be.any.frost.
accumulated.
However,.in.the.case.of.improper.use.of.the.freezer.compartments,.frost.might.build.up.in.the.freezer.
compartments.after.the.unit.has.been.used.for.a.period.of.time..Scrape.away.the.frost.using.a.plastic.
scraper.
Do.not.use.a.metal.or.sharp.instrument.to.scrap.away.the.frost,.nor.should.you.use.any.electrical.
appliances.to.aid.defrosting.
We.recommend.that.defrosting.should.be.carried.out.when.the.frost.layer.builds.up.to.3cm.(~1.18")..
Choose.a.time.when.the.stock.of.frozen.food.is.low,.and.follow.these.steps:
1.. Take.out.the.food,.turn.the.unit.off.at.the.mains.supply.and.leave.the.door.
open..Ideally,.the.frozen.food.should.be.put.into.another.freezer..If.this.is.not.
possible,.wrap.the.food.in.several.sheets.of.newspaper.or.large.towels.and.
then.a.thick.rug.or.blanket.to.keep.it.cool.
2.. Place.a.shallow.bowl.or.pan.below.the.freezer.compartment..Scrap.away.the.frost.using.a.plastic.
scraper..Defrosting.the.remaining.frost.can.be.speeded.up.by.placing.a.bowl.of.hot.water.inside.the.
freezer.compartment.cabinet.and.closing.the.door..As.the.solid.frost.loosens,.scrap.it.away.with.the.
plastic.scraper.and.remove.
3.. When.defrosting.is.complete,.clean.your.unit's.interior.and.exterior.
