Defrosting

While in operation, the refrigerated surfaces of the evaporator become progressively covered with frost.

This frost, which acts as a thermal insulator and thus prevents the cold from reaching the food, should be removed at regular intervals, otherwise, there will be a marked rise of temperature in the compartment concerned and a wastefull increase in power consumption.

To carry out complete defrosting push the button at the centre of the thermostat knob (Fig. 12).

Remove the plug from the drain hole in the water collecting tray. Place a basin under the drain hole in the tray to collect the defrost water (Fig. 13).

When defrosting is completed, operation is resumed automatically.

Remove the defrost water which has collected in the basin placed under the collecting tray. Reﬁt the previously removed plug into the drain hole.

Defrosting should be done when there is no food in

the 2-star (	) compartment.
