Defrosting the freezer

The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively

However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner,
complete defrosting should be carried out as follows:
• unplug the power cord from the socket;
• remove all stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and
put it in a cool place;
• keep the door open, and place a basin underneath the appliance to
collect the melted ice;
• when defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly;
• replace the plug in the power socket to run the appliance again.
