DEFROSTING
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed. To start defrosting procedure switch off the freezer 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).
Remove all freezer baskets. Fold out the spout, place a bowl underneath the spout to collect the water. Ensure you use a bowl large enough to contain the defrost water. Normally the volume of the bowl should be about 4 (four) litres. Leave the freezer door open.
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, fold back the spout and dry the interior thoroughly. Turn the setting knob to fast freeze. Remove the bowl and Empty it. Close the freezer door. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. Don't forget to tape over the switch to avoid accidental disconnection. Remember to turn the setting knob back to its previous position once food has frozen.
