Defrosting
"Stop Frost" system
In normal use, ice and frost will form on the evaporator plates. If allowed to accumulate, this will impair the efficiency of the freezer section and increase the consumption of electricity.
The "Stop Frost" system reduces the build up of ice and frost by approx. 70 % in comparison to other appliances. Moisture entering the appliance is quickly collected and removed. This means that it is not necessary to defrost the appliance nearly as often.
Do not scrape ice and frost off,
and do not not use any sharp edged or pointed instruments to aid the defrosting process.
They will damage the evaporator, causing irreversible damage to the appliance.
The freezer should be defrosted from time to time. It must be defrosted if a layer of ice approx. 0.5 cm thick has accumulated. It is best to defrost when only very little food or no food at all is left in the appliance.
Before defrosting
^Switch on the Super freeze function approx.1 day before defrosting to ensure frozen food retains its cold reserve for longer when taken out of the freezer.
^Remove the frozen food from the freezer and place it in another freezer, or place the cool pack on it, or in a cool box, or wrap it in several layers of newspaper or cloths and
store in a cool place until the freezer is ready for use again.
To defrost
Carry out the defrosting procedure as quickly as possible if food has not been placed in another freezer. The longer the food is left out at room temperature, the faster it defrosts.
^Switch the appliance off.
^Disconnect it from the mains.
^Place a freezer tray or a flat container under the defrosting outlet. Any defrosted water will then collect in the tray/container.
^Wait until the stopper has defrosted, and then pull it out of the floor of the appliance.
^Leave the lid of the freezer open.
To speed up defrosting, two bowls of hot water (not boiling), with plates underneath them, can be placed in the appliance.
