Defrosting the freezer
CAUTION!
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.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting,
set a lower temperature, in order to
build up sufficient chill reserve for
the interruption in operation.
A certain amount of frost will always form on the
freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches
a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Switch off the appliance, or pull out
electrical plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place. 
WARNING!
Do not touch frozen goods with
wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
3. Switch on the appliance.
After three hours reload the previously removed
food into the freezer compartment.
Cleaning the air channels
1. Remove the plinth (A), then the ventilation
grille (B). 
2. Clean the ventilation grille.
3. Carefully pull the air deflector out (C),
checking that there is no water left from the
defrosting.
4. Clean the lower part of the appliance with a
vacuum cleaner.
