A pot of warm water placed in the freezer will speed up the defrosting operation. During defrosting, wrap the frozen foodstuffs removed from the freezer in newspaper and keep them in a cool place. Since the rise in temperature will shorten their storage life, these foods should be used fairly soon, even after their return to the freezer.
The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically while running; the defrost water is collected by a drainer and evaporated automatically to the outside.
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit. Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed up the defrosting process, unless they have been recommended by the manufacturer.
