Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment

every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out

through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor

compressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the defrost

water drain hole in the middle of the refrigera-

tor compartment channel to prevent the water

overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.

Use the special cleaner provided, which you will

find already inserted into the drain hole.

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top

compartment.

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the Temperature regulator toward higher set-

tings , in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation.

To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool

place.

CAUTION!

Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.

3. Leave the door open .

In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of warm water in the freezer

compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is com-

plete.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. After two or three hours, reload the previously removed food into the compartment.
