A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top compartment. Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm. Switch off the appliance, or pull out electrical plug from the wall socket. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place. Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is complete. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly. After three hours reload the previously removed food into the freezer compartment. Defrosting of the refrigerator Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates. It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Defrosting the freezer CAUTION!Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.
