Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top compartment. Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about
Remove the freezer drawers and place them on top of each other by turning every other drawer one half turn. Put insulating material around the drawers, e.g. blankets or newspapers.
The frozen products can also be packed closely together and be kept in a cold location, e.g. in the fridge.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer.
Take out the drain spout and place it in the bottom freezer drawer where water can collect.
Loosen the ventilation grille to enable the bowl to fit under the drain spout.
Carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to thaw. Use a wood or plastic scraper. Do not use sharp objects as these may damage the interior.
When all the ice has melted, clean and wipe the cabinet dry, then push the drain spout back in place. Switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen foodstuff.
When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor.
Never use a hair drier or other heating appliances to speed up defrosting. Excessive heat may damage the plastic interior, and humidity could enter the electric appliance making it live.
