Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always
form around the top compartment.
Important! Defrost the freezer when the
frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5
mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.
3. Open the door.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the
interior thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain
the maximum coldness and run the ap-
pliance for two or three hours using this
setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food in-
to the compartment.
Warning! Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost from the evaporator
as you could damage it. Do not use a
mechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing
process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten
their safe storage life.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
• disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appli-
ance and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-
body to check it once in a while to prevent
the food inside from spoiling in case of a
power failure.
