Defrosting
Why defrost
• Water contained in food or transferred to the inside of the fridge by
opening doors may form a frost layer inside. Thick frost will hinder
refrigeration. If it is more than 10mm thick, you should defrost.
Defrosting in fresh food storage compartment
• It is automatically controlled by switching the temperature regulator
on or off so that there is no need to defrost. Water from defrosting
will be automatically drained into a drip tray through a drainpipe at
the back of the fridge.
Defrosting in frozen-food storage compartment
• The freezer compartment is manually defrosted. Before defrosting,
take the food out.
• Take the ice tray out or put it in the fresh food compartment tem-
porarily.
• Set the temperature regulator knob to position “0” (where the
compressor will stop working) and leave the door refrigerator door
open until ice and frost dissolve thoroughly and accumulate at the
bottom of the freezer chamber. Wipe off the water with a soft cloth.
• To speed up the defrosting process, you may put a bowl of warm
water (about 50° C) in the freezer chamber and scrape away the ice
and frost with a defrosting spatula. after doing so, be sure to set the
temperature regulator knob to its original position.
• It is not advisable to heat the freezer chamber directly with hot water
or a hair dryer while defrosting to avoid deformation of the inner
casing.
• It is also not advisable to scrape off ice and frost or to separate
food from the containers which have been congealed together with
sharp tools or wooden bars, so as not to damage the inner casing
or the surface of the evaporator.
Warning!
Before defrosting, switch off the appliance by turning the
temperature regulator to position “0”.
Important!
The fridge should be defrosted at least once a month.
If the door is opened frequently while in use or if the appliance is used
in extreme humidity, we advise the user to defrost every two weeks.
