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.11).

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

Freezer

The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost.

When the frost has reached a thickness of up to 4mm it can be removed using the ice scraper provided with the appliance. During this operation it is not necessary to disconnect the appliance from the mains and remove the food. Never use metal tools for this operation.

However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out.

For complete defrosting (once or twice a year) proceed as follows:

-turn the thermostat dial to the «OFF» position

(O) or disconnect the appliance from the mains.

-Remove any food from inside the freezer and fridge, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool place.

-Leave the door open, place a basin on the top shelf of the refrigerator compartment, under the drain hole, lift the plug as shown in the figure 12.

-Clean and dry thoroughly.

-Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset the thermostat to a functioning position.

-After letting the appliance run for a least half an hour, replace the previously removed food into the compartment.

Important

When defrosting the freezer, the fridge is also controlled by the thermostat and will not be operational during this period. A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
