on the bottom of the appliance to catch the ice as it is
scraped off so that it can be easily removed.
The method least likely to damage your appliance

times a day) the freezer compartment should be
defrosted once or twice a year (more often in other
circumstances).
The fridge compartment is defrosted automatically.
Danger warnings _
Never use electrical appliances to defrost your
appliance, such as a hair dryer, fan heater,
dehumidifiers, de-icing sprays or anything with a
naked flame (e.g. candles).
The plastic inside of your appliance could melt and
the escaping gas or foam could be ignited by sparks
or by the naked flame.
On no account should a steam cleaning device be
used to defrost the layers of ice in the appliance
(great risk of an electric shock).
Proceed as MIows to defirost your appliance:
1. Provide a suitable non-metallic container (a plastic
container or wash-basket).
2. Make absolutely sure that you remove the plug
from the power socket.
3. Dry your hands thoroughly to prevent skin damage
from contact with ice
(it is advisable to use gloves).
4. Remove all frozen food from the freezer and roll it
firmly in newspaper place it in the container
already prepared and place the container in a cool,
dry room.
5. Cover the container all around with a thick blanket.

carefully from inside the freezer and put it in the
kitchen sink.
8. If your appliance is equipped with a drip duct at the
bottom of the appliance, pull it out and place a
bowl to catch the dripping water underneath it.
9. If necessary, speed up defrosting by placing a
large bowl of warm (not too hot) water on the
bottom of the appliance and close the door.

place an absorbent cloth underneath the front of
the appliance and wipe up the defrosting water

water and a little vinegar and then rinse it out with
Clearwater.
