Refrigerator
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the
pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance
above the compressor, 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 drawer. Use the defrost cleaner provided
which you will find already inserted into the
discharge hole.
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy
water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before
replacing.
Freezer
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.
For complete defrosting (once or twice a year)
proceed as follows:
- turn the thermostat dial to the ÇOFFÈ 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,dry place.
- Leave the door openand insert the ice scraper
under the channelin the centre of the lower part
of the appliance; place a low-sided container
beneth the scraper to collect the water.
