Thefrost accumulated in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically (use the plasticscraper, if available).Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm, to maintainthe efficiency of the freezer.• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze the foodcompletely.• During defrosting, frozen food should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept ina cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Rememberto use the food within a relatively short period of time.• Set the thermostat knob to position “•” and switch off the appliance.• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove any water from the compartment.• Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent.• Never use abrasive products or aggressive cleaning agents.• Dry the inside of the unit, plug it into the mains and set the thermostat knob to position“5”.
