Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the

evaporator of the refrigerator compartment

every time the motor compressor stops, dur-

ing 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 refriger-

ator 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

around the top compartment.

Important! Defrost the freezer when the

frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5

mm.

To remove the frost, do these steps:

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in sev-

eral layers of newspaper and put it in a

cool place.

3. Open the door.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the in-

terior thoroughly.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain

the maximum coldness and run the ap-

pliance for two or three hours using this

setting.

7. Reload the previously removed food into

the compartment.

Warning! Never use sharp metal tools

to scrape off frost from the evaporator

as you could damage it. Do not use a

mechanical device or any artificial means

to speed up the thawing process other

than those recommended by the

manufacturer. A temperature rise of the

frozen food packs, during defrosting,

may shorten their safe storage life.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long pe-

riods, take the following precautions:

•

disconnect the appliance from elec-

tricity supply

• remove all food

•

defrost

8)

and clean the appliance and all

accessories

• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-

pleasant smells.

If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody

to check it once in a while to prevent the food

inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.

What to do if…

Warning! Before troubleshooting,

disconnect the mains plug from the

mains socket.

Only a qualified electrician or competent

person must do the troubleshooting that

is not in this manual.

Important! There are some sounds during

normal use (compressor, refrigerant

circulation).
