Defrosting the appliance

Automatic defrosting of the refrigerator

Defrosting traditional freezer

The appliance needs no special defrosting procedure, because ice deposited at the inner back wall is defrosted automatically. Ice deposited on the inner back wall during the compressor operation is defrosted when the compressor stops operating, and condensed water drops are drained through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor where it evaporates. In case of excessive ice deposits at the inner

rear wall of the refrigerator (3-5 mm), switch the appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF button and defrost it manually.

•Clean the freezer when the frost layer in the freezer reaches thickness of around 3-5 mm.

•24 hours prior defrosting fresh food activate intensive freezing knob (see section Control of particular models - Intensive freezing), to quickly freeze freshly inserted food. After that empty the freezer and take care that the packages remain frozen.

•Switch the appliance off by turning the temperature selector (A) to the mark .

•To drain defrost water pull the funnel shaped groove at the bottom of the appliance out, and place a convenient vessel underneath to collect the defrost water.

•Never use powered appliances to defrost the freezer (hair dryer, etc.).

•Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.

•Clean the interior of the appliance and wipe it dry (see chapter Cleaning).

•Before reloading food into the freezer switch the appliance on.

•Defrosting of NO FROST freezer is automatic. Periodic appearance of frost layer eventually disappears automatically.
