6.3 Defrosting the freezer

damage it. Do not use a
mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other

temperature rise of the
frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their
safe storage life.

on the freezer shelves and around the
top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

the plug from the wall socket
2. remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put
it in a cool place
3. remove the freezer drawers
4. put insulating material around the
drawers, e.g. blankets or
newspapers.
Defrosting can be accelerated by
placing bowls with hot water (not
boiling) inside the freezer.
5. Loosen the drainage channel from its
resting position, push it in according
to the illustration and collect a water
container.
6. carefully scrape off the ice when it
starts to thaw. Use a wood or a
plastic scraper
7. when all the ice has melted, clean
and wipe the cabinet dry, then put
the drainage channel back in place.
8. switch on the cabinet, insert the plug
into the wall socket and replace the
frozen foodstuff.
