The handles can be placed in two positions, as shown in the drawings. The baskets can either be placed inside the freezer or hung on the edge of the casing. MAINTENANCE DEFROSTING (8) The formation of frost on the inside of freezers cannot be avoided. Frost is formed when moisture contained in the air comes into contact with the cold surfaces of the freezer. Consequently, the lid should only be opened when necessary, and it should never be left open. A thin layer of ice or frost does not affect the function of the freezer adversely, and can be removed carefully using the scraper provided. IMPORTANT Never use a knife or any other sharp implement to remove frost. When the frost or ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the freezer should be defrosted. We suggest that you defrost your freezer when there is little or no food inside. Remove the contents of the freezer, wrap them in newspapers, and leave them in a cold place. [. . . ] If the freezer is only half full or the lid is opened this will reduce the hold-over time. After the breakdown period you are recommended to check the condition of food to ensure it has not started to thaw. Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has thawed out.
