Defrosting
A) Fridge Compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The defrosting water
runs to the drain tube via a collection
container at the back of the appliance
(1). (see diagram) During defrosting
water droplets may form at the back
of the fridge compartment where
concealed evaporator is located.
Some droplets may remain on the
liner and refreeze when defrosting is
completed. Do not allow items in the
fridge to touch the back wall as the
water droplets will make them wet.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged
objects such as knives, 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 tube. The drain
tube can be cleared by pushing the
special plastic plunger provided down
the drain tube (2). If the frost layer
reaches about 1/4”(7 mm), reduce
the setting (i.e. from 4 to 1) to restart
automatic defrosting.
B) Freezer Compartment
•
Defrosting is very easy and without
mess thanks to a special defrost
water collection space. Defrost
twice a year or when a frost layer of
around 7 mm (1/4") has formed.
•
To start defrosting procedure switch
off the appliance at the socket
outlet and pull out the mains plug. All
food should be wrapped in several
layers of newspaper and stored in
a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Containers full of warm water may
be placed carefully in the freezer to
speed up the defrosting.
•
Do not use pointed or sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks
to remove the frost. Never use
hairdryers, electrical heaters and
other similar electrical appliances
for defrosting. When defrosting has
finished, sponge out any defrost
water which collects at the bottom
of the freezer and dry the interior
thoroughly. Insert the plug in to
the wall socket and switch on the
electricity supply. (Fig. 1 & 2)
