Freezer

The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. 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 as follows:

1.

Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of new-

 

spaper and put it in a very cool place.

 

2.

Switch off the appliance and pull

 

 

out the plug or turn the tempera-

 

 

ture selector to “0” OFF.

 

3.

Leave the freezer compartment door

 

 

open.

 

4.

Insert the plastic scraper into the

 

 

recess provided under the defrost

 

 

water channel and place a collecting

 

 

basin under it.

 

5.

Once defrosting is completed keep

 

 

the scraper for future use.

 

6.

Turn the thermostat knob to the

D068

 

required setting and replace the plug

 

 

 

in the power socket.

 

 

Warning!

 

Never use metal tools to scrape off the frost

Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process.

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shor- ten their safe storage life.
