Defrostingthefreezer
lIt is recommended to combine defrosting the
appliance with washing it.
l Excessive accumulation of ice on the freezing
areas impairs the appliance’s freezing capacity
and increases the energy consumption.
l Defrost the appliance at least once or twice a
year.
l If there is food in the freezer, set the knob to the
max. position about 4 hours before the planned
defrosting. This will ensure the possibility of
storing the food at the ambient temperature for a
longer time.
l After taking the food out of the freezer, put it in a
container, wrap it with several layers of paper, a
blanket and store it at a cool place.
l The defrosting operation should last as short as
possible. Long storage of food at the ambient
temperature shortens their shelf life.
