Defrosting

Freezer

The freezer is Frost Free, defrosting is completly automatic. The defrosted water will flow down a tube located at the back of the appliance to a reservoir located over the compressor (Motor). The heat from the compressor will cause the water in the reservior to evaporate.

Refrigerator

The defrosting system in the refrigerator is "automatic defrost" The refrigerator will defrost without any intervention from the user.

The thermostat will interrupt the cooling cycle at regular intervals and the temperature of the cooling surfaces will increase to above 0'c and any ice crystals will defrost. Once the temperature of the cooling surfaces reach +3' to +4'c the thermostat control restarts the cooling cycle.The length of the defrosting cycle will depend on the temperature in side the refrigerator, the quantity of food stored and the rooms ambient temperature.

The defrosted water will flow down to a channel located at the bottom of the inside back wall and flow through an outlet to a reservoir located over the compressor (Motor). The heat from the compressor will cause the water in the reservoir to evaporate.

Check the outlet on a regular basis to ensure it is clean and no foods or objects are obstructing the flow of water. If the outlet is blocked, water will gather at the bottom of the refrigerator. If the defrosted water seeps into the insulation of the refrigerator this could cause failure of the

insulation.

Clean the water outlet with the pipe cleaner supplied and stored in the outlet.

Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied pipe scraper that can be seen in the figure.The pipe scraper has to be stored in the outlet.

The most typical case of clogging up in the melting water outlet when you put food wrapped in some paper into the appliance and this paper contacts back plate of the refrigerator and freezes to it. If you remove the food right at this moment the paper will tear and it can cause clogging up in the outlet by getting into it.

So you are asked to be careful - because of the above - when placing foods wrapped in paper into the appliance.

It is possible during a heatwave that compressor will operate continuously; during this time the defrosting

cycle will not work.

Regular cleaning

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

Clean the equipment regularly.

Don't use detergents, abrasive or strongly odorous cleaners, waxy polishing agents, disinfectants or alcoholic products for cleaning

the equipment.

Pull out the wall plug of the equipment from the outlet.

Internal cleaning

Clean the internal parts of the equipment and the accessories with warm water and Bicarbonate of Soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).

Rinse and dry everything thoroughly.

Clean the door seal profile with clean water.

External cleaning

Clean the external parts of the equipment with warm water and Bicarbonate of Soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).

Dust will build up on the condenser (the black grill at the back of the appliance) and the reservoir; this can inhibit the efficiency of the fridge freezer. It is recommended to clean both on a six monthly basis.

After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.

When the refrigerator is not in use

If the refrigerator is to be turned off for some time, follow these steps.

Unplug the appliance.

Remove foods from the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as written before. Defrost and clean as detailed above.

Trouble shooting

Changing the Light Bulb
