Defrosting the freezer compartment
The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically.
You can use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount of frost that
builds.
IMPORTANT: The freezer compartment should be defrosted at least
twice a year. The number of times that you need to defrost it, will
depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much food you
freeze and store in the compartment.
o The day before you defrost, turn the thermostat dial to position
<5>, this will make sure that the food contained in the
compartment is frozen properly.
o Whilst defrosting the appliance, the food should be removed
from the compartment and wrapped in several layers of paper
and stored in a cool place. The foods rise in temperature will
shorten its storage life and therefore the food should be used
within a relatively short period of time.
o DO NOT PLACE FOOD BACK IN THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT THAT HAS STARTED TO THAW.
o Set the thermostat knob to position <0> and disconnect the
appliance from your mains supply.
o Leave the door to the freezer compartment open. You can place
a bowl of warm water inside the freezer compartment to speed
up the defrost process.
o Your appliance is fitted with a defrost drainage tube. Therefore
you should pull out the bottom drawer (A) and place it on the
floor in front of the appliance.
