Defrosting

The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided whenever the thickness of frost exceeds ¼".

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 and it is advisable to perform this operation when the appliance is empty.

To carry out complete defrosting:

1.Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply.

2.Remove any stored food, wrap in several layers of newspaper and store in a cool place.

3.Leave the lid open.

4.Remove the plug from the defrost water drain.

5.To accelerate the defrosting process place a bowl of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and close the lid.

6.The defrost water can be collected in a bowl, as shown.

7.When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly and replace the plug on the defrost water drain.

8.Reconnect the appliance to the electricity supply and leave to run for at least 2 hours on a medium setting.

9.Replace the previously removed food.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their safe storage life.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as this could damage the appliance beyond repair.
