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.
