gressively covered with frost. This should be removed
with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever
the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the in-
ner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out
and it is advisable to perform this operation when the
appliance is empty.
To carry out complete defrosting of the freezer com-
partment () proceed as follows:
Unplug the appliance from the power supply or set the

underneath to collect defrost water.

Remember that an increase in the surface tempera-

crease their storage life.
Never use knives or metal objects to scrape away the
accumulated frost as this might damage the cooling
circuit.
