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 (-18°C) and, after letting the appliance run for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode, replace the previously removed food into the compartments.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their storage life. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage the appliance beyond repair.

Important

In the event of a power failure causing the temperature within your freezer to rise, do not re-freeze the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you:

Ice-cream:once thawed should be discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked and used up.

Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without danger.

Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used up quickly.

Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them.

Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be re-frozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a cooked dish.
