Defrosting
The freezer compartment, however, will become pro-
grssively covered with frost. This should be removed
with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever
the tickness 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 newspaper and put it in a
very cool place.
2. Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug, or
remove or unscrew the safety fuses.
3. Leave the freezer compartment door open.
4. Insert the plastic scraper into the recess provided
under the defrost water channel and place a col-
lecting basin under it.
5. Once defrosting is completed keep the scraper
for future use;
6. Turn the thermostat knob to the required setting
or 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 other
than those recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, dur-
ing defrosting , may shorten their safe storage
life.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an
extended period:
1. Remove all deep-frozen packages as well as ice
trays.
2. Switch off the appliance by turning the tempera-
ture regulator to position "0".
Switching off the appliance
3. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out
the circuit breaker or fuse.
4. Defrost freezer compartment and clean thorough-
ly (see section: “Cleaning and Care”).
5. Leave the door open to avoid the build up of
odours.
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including
interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
