DEFROSTING THE FREEZER
A certain amount of frost will al-
ways form around the top com-
partment.
Defrost the freezer when the
frost layer reaches a thickness of
about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and
put it in a cool place.
3. Open the door.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to
obtain the maximum coldness and
run the appliance for two or three
hours using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed
food into the compartment.
WARNING!
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evapo-
rator as you could damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device
or any artificial means to speed
up the thawing process other
than those recommended by
the manufacturer. A tempera-
ture rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may
shorten their safe storage life.
PERIODS OF NON-
OPERATION
When the appliance is not in use for
long periods, take the following pre-
cautions:
• disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the ap-
pliance and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent
unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-
body to check it once in a while to pre-
vent the food inside from spoiling in
case of a power failure.
