What to do if…, Defrosting of the refrigerator

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor com- pressor 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.

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.

Important! About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the Temperature regulator toward higher settings , 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 and insert the

plastic scraper in the appropriate

seating at the bot- tom centre, placing a basin underneath to collect the de- frost water

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

dition, remove pieces of ice that break away before de- frosting is complete.

4.When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor- oughly and keep the scraper for future use.

5.Switch on the appliance.

6.After two or three hours, reload the previously re- moved 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

•disconnect the appliance from electricity supply

•remove all food

•defrost5) and clean the appliance and all accessories

•leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleasant 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.
