Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge, periodically clean the water discharge hole in the centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of the refrigerator compartment, behind the salad drawers. Use the defrost cleaner provided which you will find already inserted into the discharge hole.
Remember to wash to defrost cleaner in hot soapy water at regular intervals. Dry thoroughly before replacing.
Freezer
The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost reaches 1/4”.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch of the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to perform this operation when the appliance is empty.
For complete defrosting (once or twice a year) proceed as follows:
1Turn the thermostat dial to the "OFF" position (O) or disconnect the appliance from the mains.
2 Remove any food from inside the freezer and fridge; wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool, dry place.
3 When defrosting is complete, dry the interior thorough.
4Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset the thermostat to 5 (coldest) and leave to run for at least four hours.
5 Replace the previously removed food.
6 Return the thermostat to the normal position.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their safe storage life.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as this could damage the appliance beyond repair.
