To accelerate the defrosting process, place a bowl of
hot water inside the freezer (with a piece of cardboard
underneath as a protection). The defrost water should
be collected in a basin placed under the gutter in the
central part between base and door. A small �exible
hose (supplied with the freezer and Ţxed inside the

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from
