Defrosting

Refrigerator

The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the compressor stops.

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 drawer. Use the special cleaner provided which you will find already inserted into the discharge hole (Fig. 12).

Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy water at regular intervals. Dry thoroughly before replacing.

Freezer

The freezer compartment of this model is of the «frost-free» type. This means that no frosting occurs on the inner walls of the compartment or on food during operation.

The absence of frosting is achieved by constant circulation of cold air inside the compartment, produced by an automatic fan blower.

The water produced by defrosting flows away - in the case of both the freezer and refrigerator compartments - through special drainage grooves into a container positioned at the back of the appliance above the compressor where it then evaporates.

Attention!

«In the event of a power failure causing the temperature within your freezer to rise, do not re-freeze the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you.»

Ice-cream: once thawed should be discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked and used up.

Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without danger.

Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used up quickly.

Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them.

Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be re- frozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a cooked dish.
