Defrosting

The HR150 / HR 410 is fitted with an automatic defrost function ensuring the cooling plate remains free from ice. The condensate water is automatically dispersed using the heat from the refrigeration unit.

Do not replace the frozen food until the cabinet has reached its normal operating temperature.

WARNING: Do not use any sharp instruments or heat to remove the ice from the freezer shelf as this may cause damage.
