DEFROSTING
THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT gets defrosted automatically: it operates a frost-free
cooling system (No Frost). However, according to how often the freezer door were
opened and closed, and to - how warm products were placed into the appliance, the
frost can accumulate on walls of freezer inner liner and drawers. It is normal. But the
thicker is the layer of frost, the higher is a power consumption. In case if No Frost
system had not managed to evaporate the excess moisture and the frost layer has
formed on, you should defrost the appliance. To defrost the appliance, follow the steps
in sequence:
•WA RN ING! Turn the appliance off and pull the plug out of the electrical socket.
•Remove foodstuffs from freezer compartment. The frozen foodstuffs will not warm up
too much while you are thawing the freezer compartment if you cover them with a
thick cloth and keep them in a cool place.
•Leave door of freezer open. When the frost melts, clean and wipe dry the surfaces
and fixtures. Close the freezer door. Plug in and turn on the appliance.
