Defrosting

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator
of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor
compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a trough into a
special container at the back of the appliance, over
the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the water over-
flowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will
find already inserted into the drain hole.

The freezer compartment, however, will become pro-
gressively covered with frost. This should be removed
with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever
the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it.

Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means
to speed up the thawing process other than those re-
commended by the manufacturer.

However, when the ice becomes very thick on the in-
ner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as
follows:

pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the ther-
mostat knob to the «

O

» setting;

WARNING! When the thermostat knob is turned to po-
sition «

O

» the ZERO DEGREE compartment also swit-

ches off.

remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place;

leave the door open, place a basin on the top shelf of
the refrigerator compartment, under the drain hole, re-
move the plug as shown in the figure;

Fig. 15

when defrosting is completed, dry the interior thorou-
ghly and refit the plug;

keep the scraper for future use;

turn the thermostat knob back to the required setting
or replace the plug in the power socket.

After two or three hours, reload the previously remo-
ved food into the compartment.

Important: A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe stora-
ge life.
