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 1/4".
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 proceed as follows:
1.Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
2.Turn the thermostat control knob ➁ to the «●» setting.
3.Leave the door open and insert the plastic scraper in the special location to act as an extension channel; pull out the drawer to collect the defrost water (see Fig.).
4.When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.
Keep the scraper for future use.
Turn the thermostat control knob to a medium setting
