Defrosting

Refrigerator

The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the pipe, into a tray located below the appliance, where it evaporates.

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 fruit and vegetable drawers. Use the special cleaner provided which you will find already inserted into the discharge hole.

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 exceeds 4 mm.

During this operation it is not necessary to switch off 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 carry out this operation when the appliance is empty.

To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:

1.pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the thermostat knob to the «O» setting;

2.remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place;

3.Leave the door open and insert the plastic scraper under the channel in the centre of the lower part of the appliance, place a low-sided container beneath the scraper to collect the defrost water (see Fig.).

4.When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.

Keep the scraper for future use.

Turn the thermostat knob back to the required setting or replace the plug in the power socket. After two or three hours, reload the previously removed food into the compartment.

Important

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.

When defrosting the freezer, the fridge is also controlled by the thermostat and will not be operational during this period.
