Defrosting

The freezer compartment will become progressively

covered with frost. This should be removed with the

special plastic scraper provided, whenever the

thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4”.

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 proceed as follows:

Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of

newspaper and put it in a cool place.

Turn the thermostat control (A-Fig. 10) to the «

O»

setting.

Leave the door open.

To accelerate the defrosting process, place a bowl of

hot water inside the freezer (with a piece of cardboard

underneath as a protection). The defrost water should

be collected in a basin placed under the gutter in the

central part between base and door. A small ﬂexible

hose (supplied with the freezer and ﬁxed inside the

plastic scraper handle), to be used as a gutter

extension, will make it easier to collect the defrost

water.

When defrosting is completed, dry the interior

thoroughly.

Turn the thermostat control to a medium setting

between 2 and 4 and, after letting the appliance run

for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode,

replace the previously removed food into the

compartment.

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.

Warning

«In the event of a power failure causing the

temperature within your freezer to rise, do not re-

freeze the food without checking its condition. The

following guidelines should assist you.»

Ice-cream: once thawed should be discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked and

used up.

Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without danger.

Shellﬁsh: should be refrigerated and used up quickly.

Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated

and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen providing

there are still ice crystals remaining within them.

Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be re-

frozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a

cooked dish.
