wipe them clean to ensure they are
clean and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

the appliance with a brush.
This will improve the performance of
the appliance and save electricity
consumption.

inlet filter (1) and an air outlet duct (2) on
the ventilation grid.

7.6 Defrosting of the freezer

CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could
damage it. 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.
About 12 hours prior to
defrosting, set a lower
temperature, in order to build
up sufficient chill reserve for
the interruption in operation.
