defrosting
Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The
defrosting water runs to the drain tray at the back of
the appliance via the collection channel and drain
tube.
During defrosting, water droplets may from at the
back of the fridge compartment where the concealed
evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain on the
liner and re-freeze when defrosting is completed,
this is normal. Do not use pointed or sharp edged
objects, such as knives or forks, to remove the droplets
which have frozen.
If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the
collection channel, check to ensure that no food particles have
blocked the drain channel. The drain tube can be cleared by
pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube.
If the frost layer reaches about “ (7mm), reduce the setting (ie
from MAX to medium) to restart automatic defrosting.

energy saving tips
Ensure your appliance is installed in a well-ventilated area. Do not
put your appliance in a cold room where the temperature is likely
to go below +2ºC (36ºF) during night time and/or especially in winter.
Ensure the time between buying chilled/frozen food and placing
them in your appliance is kept to a minimum, particularly in summer.
We recommend you use a cool bag or a special carrier bag to carry
frozen food.
Don’t leave the door(s) of your appliance open longer than
necessary and ensure they are closed properly after each
opening.
Don’t leave the door open for a long periods as this will
make the appliance more costly to run and cause excessive
ice formation.
Don’t put hot food into the appliance. Let it cool down first.
For maximum efficiency, the removable shelves should not be
covered with paper or other materials thus allowing free
circulation of cool air.
