Refrigerator needs no special defrosting procedure, because ice
deposited at the inner back wall is defrosted automatically.
Ice deposited on the inner back wall during the compressor operation
is defrosted when the compressor stops operating, and condensed
water drops are drained through the outlet in the inner back wall into
the drain pan situated above the compressor where it evaporates. In
case you should notice excessive ice formation at the rear refrigerator
panel (3-5 mm thick), switch the appliance off and thaw it manually.
• Clean the freezer when the frost layer in the freezer reaches
thickness of around 3-5 mm.
• 24 hours before defrosting activate the fast freeze function
(see relevant control chapter depending upon the model of the
appliance – fast freezing) for continuous operation in order to
additionally freeze the food inside. After that period take the food
out of the freezer and protect them from excessive thawing.
• Switch the appliance off (see the relevant control chapter for
ON/OFF function) and pull the power cord from the wall socket.
• Place a convenient absorbent cloth underneath to collect the
defrost water and change it periodically.
• Never use powered appliances to defrost the freezer (hair
dryer, etc.) -
LIFE THREATENING!
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to
the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.
• Clean the interior of the appliance and wipe it dry (see chapter
Cleaning).
• Before reloading food into the freezer switch the appliance on.
• Defrosting the NO FROST freezer model is completely
automatic. Periodical appearance of frost deposits disappear
after certain period of time.
• Build-up of ice or frost in the freezer compartment can be
a result of abnormal use of appliance (door opened too
frequently and/or too long, door not properly closed etc.). In
this case, unplug the appliance, remove the food from the
freezer and protect them from defrosting.
Clean and dry the freezer interior. Before returning the frozen
food into the freezer, switch on the appliance and select the
desired setting.

Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as
possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy
microorganisms which rapidly activate themselves after
defrosting and make foods perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food, especially
fruits, vegetables and readymade meals.
