Defrosting

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

refrigerator 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.

The freezer compartment, however, will become

progressively covered with frost. This should be

removed with the special plastic scraper

provided, whenever the thickness of the frost

exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not

necessary to switch off the power supply or to

remove the foodstuffs.

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.

However, when the ice becomes very thick on

the inner liner, complete defrosting should be

carried out as follows:

pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the

thermostat knob to the «O» setting;

remove any stored food, wrap it in several

layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place;

leave the door open, and remove the water

which forms during defrosting by means of a

sponge of cloth;

when defrosting is completed, dry the interior

thoroughly; keep the scraper for future use;

turn the thermostat knob back to the required

sefflng or replace the plug in the power socket.

After two or three hours, reload the previously

removed food into the compartment.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs,

during defrosting, may shorten their safe

storage life.
