increase the chamber temperature (and stored samples) to a value that could
destroy stored samples that are temperature sensitive. Therefore, you have
to perform defrosting manually by following these instructions:

with samples or products, move these to another
appliance to maintain the temperature of the products. 2. Turn off the
appliance on the display by pressing the ON/OFF button.
3. Unplug the main power cable from the power socket. 4. Open the door and
inner doors of the appliance.

defrost water. 6. Leave the appliance open for a minimum of 24 hours allowing
the ice to melt.
