2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several lay-
ers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
3. Leave the lid open , remove the plug from the
defrost water drain and collect all defrost water
on a tray. Use a scraper to remove ice quickly.
3) Refer to "Technical data"
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly and refit the plug.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the
maximum coldness and run the appliance for
two or three hours using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food into the
compartment.
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape
off frost as you could damage the appliance. 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.
