Defrosting the Freezer

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, should be removed periodically (use the plastic scraper

if available).

Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm to maintain

the efficiency of the freezer.

• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze the foods

completely. (Recommendation)

• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and

kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life.

Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.

• Set the thermostat knob to position “ ” and switch off the appliance.

• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost water from the

compartment.

If there is defrost water on the freezer floor, you can clear it away by using a sponge.

• Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent.

Never use abrasive products or aggressive cleaning agents.

• Dry the inside of the unit, plug on the mains, and set the thermostat knob

to position “5”. After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the desired position.
