HOW TO DEFROST THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT (DEPENDING ON THE MODEL)
In �No-Frost� appliances, defrosting of freezer is completely automatic. In other appliances, defrost the freezer compartment once or twice a year, or when the ice on the walls reaches a thickness of about 3mm. If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty. � Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply (refrigerator compartment switches off too). � Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in a paper and group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler. � Remove the ice-cube tray. � Remove the baskets. � Pull out the defrost water drain from the base of the freezer compartment. � Leave the freezer compartment door open. Place a shallow container below the drain channel to collect the defrost water. � Clean the freezer compartment using a sponge dampened in a solution of warm water and neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive products. � Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly. � Reconnect the appliance to the power supply. � Refit the drain in place and reposition the baskets. Note: � Do not use sharp or pointed metal instruments to scrape off ice; do not heat the freezer compartment artificially. Any damage to the appliance resulting from failure to observe these instructions is not covered by the guarantee. � Any increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting can shorten its storage life.
