Abstract

The method according to the present invention is developed for cooling devices capable to detect defrost time, wherein the starting time of a defrost process is regulated by this method. In a first step of this method, the data indicating that new foodstuff is placed to the freezer compartment of a cooling device is entered to the control unit of the cooling device by a user, then in a second step following this data entry, the device keeps continuing the cooling process, and thereafter in a third step, the user is alerted by means of a signal generator connected to the control unit after a while. In a fourth step of this method, new foodstuffs are put to the freezer compartment after said alert, and the cooling process is continued, and in a fifth step, if it is determined by the device that it is time to perform a defrost operation after new foodstuff is loaded to the compartment, the defrost operation can be delayed to a future time.
