Some droplets may remain on the liner and |

refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do |

not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the droplets which have frozen.
If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check to ensure that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube
(2). If the frost layer reaches about 1/4"(7 mm), reduce the setting (i.e. from 4 to 3) to restart automatic defrosting.
B) FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Defrosting is very easy and without mess thanks to a special defrost collection basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed. To start defrosting procedure switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Containers full of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters and other similar electrical appliances for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, sponge out any defrost water which collects at the bottom of the freezer and dry the interior thoroughly. Insert the plug in to the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.
