RSB20 Refrigerator Defrosting the Frozen Food compartment: WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools for this operation as they can damage your fridge beyond repair. Defrosting should be carried out regularly either, every two or three weeks or when the ice is between 3 - 5mm thick. This will ensure that your appliance operates efficiently. A build up of ice could cause damage to the freezer door flaps or create incorrect temperatures inside the fridge compartment. * The day before you plan to defrost, set the thermostat dial to the 5. position to completely freeze the contents. * During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life.
